History

Linda Stratmann traces the social, medical and criminal history of chloroform, from early medical practices to create oblivion through the discovery of chloroform and its discovery, its use and misuse in the 19th century, to the present. Please note that unfortunately some of the global reviews are a result of this book being incorrectly listed as chloroform outside of the UK.
