Bancroft to Scott, 11 February 1933. The most serious of the objections Bancroft here alludes to was the question of how anesthetics could produce their effect when present in nervous tissue in minute concentrations. Bancroft thought he had the answer: a slightly acidified albumin sol, treated with sodium sulphate until it was on the verge of precipitating, would begin to flocculate with the addition of one drop of alcohol or chloral hydrate. In much the same way, he supposed, the electrolytes normally present in nerve cells kept protoplasmic colloids in a "critical state," ready to coagulate in the presence of extremely small amounts of a flocculating agent. See Bancroft and Richter, "The Chemistry of Anesthesia," 226-27.
