К. Boshamer deduces from his studies that every ether anesthesia gives a small damage to the liver, which is made very noticeable if the organ has been previously diseased, even if it is latent. Such latent damage to the liver occurs in chronic gallbladder disease, alcoholism, chronic pancreatitis, cancer and chronic diseases. In such cases the named anesthesia should be especially avoided.
