Recent advances in anaesthesia from the point of view of the general practitioner, with special reference to pre-anaesthetic narcosis

Ivlodern advances in medicine and surgery are gratefully received by the general practitioner. He is glad to know that Insulin can limit the ravages of diabetes, that pernicious anaemia is controlled by liver therapy, but he seldom encounters these diseases. Relief of pain and discomfort are his constant aim, and advances in medical science towards this make a special appeal. 'L'he introduction of new drugs for the production of anaesthesia and pre -anaesthetic narcosis have stimulated a fresh interest in this subject among general practitioners. It is for this reason I am prompted to record my experiences with the older types of anaesthetics, and to compare them with those of recent introduction.
