Excerpt from Instructions in the Preparation, Administration, and Properties of Nitrous Oxide, Protoxide of Nitrogen, or Laughing Gas That nitrous oxide or protoxide of nitrogen is worthy to be placed prominently in the list of anaesthetics, is a fact which is daily being demonstrated by many of the most prominent surgical and dental practitioners, as it presents certain valuable characteristics, possessed by no other agent with which we are at present acquainted. But though long used as an exhilarant in the lecture-room, its extended use as an anaesthetic is of recent date, and but little, with the exception of certain fragmentary articles in the surgical and dental journals, has been written on the subject. An excellent monograph, by Geo. J. Ziegler, M. D., on the Medical Properties and Applications of Nitrous Oxide, has been published, and from its pages I have derived many valuable suggestions to which I shall hereafter refer.
