Publisher's Synopsis
A Manual of Etherization, written by Charles Thomas Jackson in 1861, is a comprehensive guide on the use of ether, chloroform, and other anesthetic agents for surgical operations. The book provides detailed instructions on the administration of these agents through inhalation, including the proper dosage, equipment needed, and potential risks and complications. It also includes a history of the development of anesthetics and their use in surgery, as well as a discussion of the physiological effects of these drugs on the body. This book was written during a time when anesthesia was still a relatively new and controversial practice, and it played a significant role in promoting the use of ether and chloroform in surgery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
