His attention was drawn to the fact that in the treatment of such cases as necessitated an anaesthetic the native doctors did not resort to a drug, but instead they were manifestly .-educing their pattern to a condition of stupor by compressing the carotid artery with their fingers. The Dutch physician was so much impressed ■with this primitive method of rendering the patient at least p&rtiall> Insensible to pain, that he made h j co reful study of It. He d/scovered that this method of anaesthesia, although unknown, in modern surgery, was in all probability Ju vogu* aruoni the ancients Says an advertisement: " Beware of those dizzy spells." Well, what about "W hakarewarewa," uWharekerauponga," " Tataramaika," or " Tauherenikau," for dizzy spells ?
