Description
A medical / surgical relic from a time when chloroform was administered by hand utilizing a specially designed dripper bottle and a cloth over the nose and mouth. This little dripper stands approximately 5 inches including the stopper. Remaining in pleasing condition with no chips or cracks, this seldom seen dripper will make a nice addition to any quality medical / surgical grouping. (A search of our personal collection museum site (MaineLegacy.com) Will produce an account of how Gettysburg Artillerist, Col. Freeman McGilvery was killed by an overdose of chloroform during simple surgery for a wound of the thumb.)
