This document discusses the use of curare, an arrow poison, as a muscle relaxant during surgery. It notes that curare paralyzes skeletal muscles without affecting consciousness or sensation, allowing surgery with amnesia and analgesia. It reports on the successful use of curare during several operations, finding it a useful adjunct that facilitated surgical procedures while providing patient comfort and immobility without respiratory depression.
