A New Pain Preventer .
A new pain-preventer has been found. We all know of what importance the introduction of cocaine was for surgery. Wherever small but painful operations are to be canned out it is used ; sometimes externally, where the mucous membrane is exposed, sometimes it is injected under tho skin. But cocaine has also its drawbacks ; sometimes it has no effect, sometimes its use is attended with unpleasant secondary consequences. All that is to be prevented by the new anaesthetic. It is called ‘ anesin,’ aud is said offence.
to be a more powerful agent than is cocaine. It very rapidly produces insensibility, and it is said that no bad Consequences attend its use, no lccal irritation, no general poisoning. For some time anesin has been known to larynx operators and dentists; but it is only now that, as they have at the Buda-Pester Phai-maco-logical Institute, succeeded in overcoming the insolubility of anesin in water, it can be more extensively tested. Nothing but more general use can show if it can compete with cocaine, which is believed to be indispensable.
