In this chapter discusses twilight sleep--a term applied to the combination of analgesia (pain relief) and amnesia (loss of memory) produced by a mixture of morphine and scopolamine. The mixture of the two drugs created a state in which the woman, while responding somewhat to pain, did not remember it after delivering her baby.
