Lack of historical records causes some difficulties in the historical studies of ancient Korea. It is the same case as that of the history of medicine. We imagine what the situation of medicine was like in ancient Korea with a bit of historical records. In ancient times, medicine had very close relation with religions. In ancient Korea, it had very close relation with Buddhism. According to {Sam Kuk Sa Ki and {Sam Kuk Yu Sa buddhists monks treated patients with the religious rituals. In this article, the authors would like to present a record which had been unnoticed until now. It is the commentary of Wonhyo on a certain Buddhistic cannon called {Kum Kwang Myung Kyung. A chapter of this cannon is on the theory of medicine, causes of diseases and treatments. We can presume Wonhyo's knowledge of medicine at that time through his commentary on this chapter.

A mixture of phenoperidine and haloperidol with inhalation of nitrous oxide-oxygen has been used to provide general anesthesia for gynecologic operations' in seven patients. The method afforded excellent hypnosis and analgesia together with remarkably stable circulation both during operative and immediate postoperative period. For operations requiring muscular relaxation a neuromuscular blocking agent had to be added. No central nervous system reactions (Parkinson-like, akathisia and cystonia) of an extrapyramidal type have been observed in the series.
