Ether-Practical Administration. No.5.

Care should be taken that the preliminary preparation of the site of the operation be not awe inspiring, but be made as simple as possible. In regard to clothing the main requisite is warmth. A gown opening down the back is sufficient, provided warm blankets are used as covering. The anæmic, the emaciated, or the aged would better have the extra protection a thick undershirt provides.—Dr. J. B. Bogan; N. Y. Med. Journ.
