AB We  are  indebted  to  Sir  James  Y.  Simpson,  the  discoverer  of  chloroform,  for  the  introduction  of  anaesthesia  into  obstetrical  practice.  He  employed  ether  for  this  purpose  in  1847,  and  replaced  it  by  chloroform.  Every  one  agrees  as  to  the  marked  benefits  derived  from  anaesthesia  when  operative  procedures  are  to  be  undertaken,  but  there  is  still  considerable  difference  of  opinion  as  to  the  advisability  of  its  routine  employment  in  normal  labour.—J.  Whitridge  Williams  (1903)
