Drink int: became sohonorable among the Greeks. that the most magnifirent rewards were offered to such as could drink the most or be drunk the soonest. Dionysiua is said to-have oliered'a golden crown to the suc cesalul champion in one of these contests.

Strong drinks. were gradually. but auccesstully introdu ced under the peacelul reign of Edward the Confessor.

The National Intelligencer, details at' length some experiments which have been tried at. Washington with complete suc cess. A Dr. Liebherman of that city. re cently removed a cancer from the breast of woman. While the operationwas being performed. the patient remained. appar ently; in a calm'and'tranquil slumhsrg-‘withr out manifesting the slightest symptom of pain in any manner ; though the operation. she was undergoing is considered one of the most painful yin eurgury. A corres pondent ofthe National lntelligoncer. who witnessed the operation. says : 7 ' “ When the whole was over. the patient was aroused; and on inquiry as to her teelings. she stated that. after her long and refreshtng sleep. she felt much better and stronger, and requested the surgeon to’pro ceed at once with the operation. being evi dently wholly unconscious that it had al ready been porformed; and itwas not till after the lapsoiof sometime that she could be persuaded of the reality. _ -. . " Thus far. not the slightest injury has resulted from the use of the chloroform; and to every respect the. patient “now doing well, and gives fair promise of a speedy and perfect recovery.” At Boston. last week. a lady had a tu mour removed from her aide which weigh ed nine pounds and a half. The chloro form was used in her case, and she exps« rieneed no pain. 3 But a still more aiugnltr use has been made, f chloroform.

It was tried one patient in'l‘Bos‘ton, who was rapidly approaching his dissolution. '1“ The success of the ap plication" says the physiciah " was com. plate. and the phrient’s last moments were tranquil and void of pain." . ‘ p (The mode of administering the chlam form is as follows: "It is dropped on a sponge or a handkerchief. which is appli ed to the mouth—and in a minute: or two it takes effect. and entire insensibility to pain seems to be superinduced.” < We have thought the history of. this great invention. capable of producing such benefits to humanity. worth investigating. and we have selected the facts above as it lustrating its uses and demonstrating its value. ~ , It was discovered in 1831. at about the came time. by Liebeg and Sombleta.
