    dangers of tlie drug when used in dental surgery and in the way I have to-night described. Conchbsion.—Such, gentlemen, is my experience of the use of bromide of ethyl as an anaesthetic in dental surgery. In many points this experience is favourable, in many others adverse; so that, taking into consideration the relatively small num- ber of cases which I have recorded, it will not be expected of me to express dogmatic opinions upon the value of this potent drug. Before sitting down, however, I must apologise for the length of my paper, and at the same time I should like publicly to express my indebtedness to Mr. Maggs and Mr. Mansbridge, and my other colleagues of the Guy’s Hospital Dental School, for the permission they have so readily given me to use their cases for the purposes of this investigation. Without this help, and that of the senior students of the school, I could have accomplished nothing, and even now I feel that the result has been far less satisfactory than I could have wished.
