PAINLESS SURGERY
USE OF STOVAINE
after it began, it turned out that a large internal tumour would have to be removed. The' doubt was whether the effect of the stovaine would "continue long enough to allow the operation to be concluded. The surgeon put r on the greatest speed which safety permitted; and • the patient, who knew the problem which was being confronted, was probably more interested than anyone else in the' race between recovering nerves and moving knife. The operation was concluded in tdme, ' though I must admit,' said a,/ surgeon who was present, 'that the patient, said "Ugh!"" as the last couple of stitches "were * put in.'
