Excerpt from Physiology, the Servant of Medicine (Chloroform in the Laboratory and in the Hospital): Being the Hitchcock Lectures for 1909 Delivered at the University of California, Berkeley, Cal They were delivered in October 1909 at the Uni versity of California, in accordance with the terms of the will of the late Josiah H. Hitchcock, providing for the delivery of lectures upon scientific and practical subjects, but not for the advantage of any religious sect nor upon political subjects. And it has been in the endeavour to fulfil as far as possible the objects of this bequest, that I have not restricted myself to the purely physiological bearings of the subjects dealt with.
