  	    A woman in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts, was
  	etherized and died in consequence, although her physi-
 1	cians insisted that it would be unsafe to perform a needed
  	surgical operation without the ether. After the autopsy,
 3	her sister testified that the deceased protested	                     Effects
  	against inhaling the ether and said it would kill	                     of fear 
  	her, but that she was compelled by her physicians to take
 6	it. Her hands were held, and she was forced into sub-
  	mission. The case was brought to trial. The evidence
  	was found to be conclusive, and a verdict was returned that
 9	death was occasioned, not by the ether, but by fear of
  	inhaling it.
