 Abstract: This document introduces a series of laboratory animal tracings 
 obtained during chloroform experiments conducted by the Second 
 Hyderabad Chloroform Commission. Because of the serious nature of the 
 commission’s work, the Lancet refrains from accepting the conclusions 
 and proposes that the readers draw their own conclusions. The 
 commission maintains that chloroform affects respiration and not the 
 heart. Heart stoppage, it said, is caused by respiratory failure and 
 asphyxia. The commission considered bradycardia a warning, not a danger 
 in itself. The Lancet was skeptical, and planned clinical studies to 
 investigate cause of cardiac arrest.
