For pain relief of labor in cases of convulsive and extremely painful attempts, I had to experience lubrication of the abdomen with a mixture of 1 part chloroform and 2-3 parts oi. olivarum. The results obtained are so good that I decide to publish them, although I have only three such observations. In the cases under consideration, I did this: with the indicated mixture of chloroform with ol. olivarum, the abdomen of the woman in labor was abundantly lubricated and a warming compress was immediately applied to it.
