Mail Order Anesthesia
The cover of a remarkably
well-preserved 1899 anesthetic apparatus
catalog from Claudius Ash & Sons, Ltd. Of London. Included on
page 23 are actual silk samples of Cattlin’s
bags, which were used with facepieces to administer
nitrous oxide. The anesthetist shopping with
Ash & Sons had four beautiful colors
from which to choose!
