HOMEOPATHIC - Ether is the well-known anesthetic and the effects are those observed in patients under the action of its vapor, administered for the purpose of operation in habitual ether drinkers and on some who have voluntarily experimented with the drug upon themselves.

Ether is closely allied to alcohol, it possesses very similar intoxicating properties, produces visions, frequently pleasurable, hallucination and in some instances a persistent maniacal condition.

Convulsions, spasms and a cataleptic state. Chilliness. Bronchitis is a common after result of ether anesthesia and Belladonna has been observed to be the best antidote for this.
