the body, and tremor, and occasional twitching of the muscles. 
In eight minutes the intensity of these symptoms was much in- 
creased; in eleven minutes the animal fell: in falling the bag 
was displaced, and he immediately rose again. A little more 
naphtha was poured upon the tow, the apparatus fresh adjusted, 
and in thirteen minutes he was down again. For two or three 
minutes after this there was constant tremor and contraction of 
the muscles, and repeated attempts to rise. 
In sixteen minutes from the first inhalation the extremities 
were still, and the tremor of the muscles in a great measure 
ceased, although it afterwards recurred at intervals ; the pulse 
was quicker than natural, sensation entirely gone, and several 
minor operations were performed without the animal evincing 
the slightest indication of pain. This state of complete coma 
continued during nearly twenty minutes. 
In thirty-five minutes from the first administration of the 
naphtha the bag was removed from the nostrils, and in about ten 
minutes after symptoms of recovery were apparent. The pupil 
contracted to its natural state, the pulse fell to its normal 
standard, and in sixty minutes from the commencement of the 
experiment the animal got up without assistance; there re- 
mained, however, for some time, slight tremor of the muscles 
and some debility; but sponging the head with cold water, and 
a free supply of fresh air, quickly put these symptoms to flight, 
and the animal was soon perfectly recovered.
