Interesting Experiments With the Dis
covcry in Albany.

covcry in Albany.
DR.. C. S. Merrill, at his college clinic
Yesterday afternoon, after presenting
to the students several patients which
he had before treated or operated on,
lectured briefly on the nature and ELECTS
of the hydrochlorate CT cocoaine, and
used it on some of the cases in the pres
ence of the class. The doctor stated
that the drug was prepared from the
leaves of the cocoa plant, and had
been used in the throat clinics OF
Vienna for about a year-the throat
and larvnx being brushed with it to
produce a~naesthesia of those parts for
operative work, and that the first
knowledge we had of its action as a
local anaesthetic for the eye was from
a paper by DR.. Kollar, of Vienna, read
at the Heidelberg Congress of ophthal
mologists on the 18th of September,
and Dir. Roller had only discovered its
peculiar properties two weeks before
that meeting.
The doctor took a young lady who
was to be operated on for a closure of
the tear passage, and put eight drops
of the cocoaine solution into the eye.
Ten minutes later the eye was found to
be so thoroughly anaesthetized that it
could be grasped with forceps and
pulled around without causing pain
He then did the operation without the
person experiencing anypain, although
the operation without an a%naesthetic
is exceedingly painful. In another case
an old nan over seventy years of
age, who had long suffered from a
severe inflammation of tho deeper
parts of the eye, was placed on the
operating table and the cocoaine used
as in the other case, but it did not
produce entire insensibility of the
parts, nor did it in another case where
there was evere Inflammation of the
deeper tissues. The Doctor concluded
from these two cases that were there
was such severe inflammation more
Of the drug should be used and a
longer time allowed for its effect to
be produced. He stated that he had
used it in normal eyes and sensation
had been abolished in from ten to
fifteen minutes, and returned in about
thirty or forty minutes. By using it
DR.. Merrill had been able to do an
operation for a squint, to remove
foreign bodies from the cornea, and,
in case of an abscess in the middle
ear, to lance the ''drum membrane
without causing pain.
The drug is a rare one, and at pres
ent very expensive, what the Doctor
used costing at the rate of 1920 per
ounce or $6,720 perpound. No doubt,
as the demand for it increases it
will be manufactured in larger
quantities and become much cheaper.
1t is to be hoped that it will be pro-
duced in such quantities as to permit of
experiments being made with it in
other portions of the body, for we are
justified in anticipating that it will
render many of the general surgeons
operations painless.-A1bany argus.

OLD-TIME SURGERY.
When 1t Was Thought a Wonderful Thing
to Shorten q Jaw.


A number of years ago there lived in
Wheeling a certain DR.. Hullien, who
became famous as a surgeon. Some of
his operations were very brilliant and
decidedly awe-inspiring among the
common people. One case in particu-
lar was thought to be unparalleled at
that time. A young lady belonging to
one of the best families in Eastern Ohio
was terribly disiigured by a %protrudine
lower jaw. Hearing of Dr.. Hullien'ss
skill as a surgeon she prevailed upon
her father to allow her to go to Wheel
ing and see if anything could be done
to improve the shape Of her face. She
went alone, and nothing was heard Of
her for two weeks except that she ar
rived there safely.
One evening as the shades of night
We're gathering, a really handsome lady
drove up to the gate in front of the
farm house and asked if she could get
lodging for the night. The well-to-do
farmer said they'did not keep a hotel;
besides, they were expecting their
daughter home at any time, so they
could not keep her. She said she
guessed she would stay anyhow, and
hoped out of the buggy. The farmer
Thought she was an escaped l%unatic,
and was about to shut and lock the
door in her face when the house dog
came along and recognized the lady as
his young mistress.
1t was impossible to satisfy her pa
rents and sisters Of her identity, so re-
markable was the change in her APP
pearance. In her pocket she had two
sections of jawbone, each containing
three teeth, which explained how tho
change had been made The operation
is quite common now, but at that time
it was rare. In this case there were
three more teeth on either side of che
lower jaw than usual, and as they grew
they caused the jaw to project forward.
At birth the LOVER jaw was but little
longer than the upper one. The sur
geon merely resected the jaw on both
sides by cutting out a section on either
side containing the extra teeth, cutting
out one in front to make the jaw mar
rover and bringing the ends of the
bones together. 1t vas simple enough,
but the country people laid awake OF
nights thinking and talking about it.
Another young lady who, when d
mere child toddling around, had her
neck badly scalded by pulling the COT
fee-pot off the breakfast-table, and af-
terward carried her head greatly to
one side, went to see the doctor. With
out SO much as asking her consent he
severed the contracted muscles; shipped
a piece out of her shoulder, fitted it in,
tied up the wound, and told her if she
would hurry she would catch the next
boat for home.-PHIsJwryA Dispatch.

How They Should BE Treated to Secure
All Their Benefits.

An adequate supply of water con-
yeniently located is Of great Importance
in the country, where a great quantity
rs necessarily used.
A natural, never-failing-water supply
should be utilized whenever it is posi-.
bic. This can often be done in undu-
lating sections, where a spring is sit
uated higher than the point at which it
is to be delivered; and NJ matter
whether it be conveyed in wood, iron
Or lead pipe, always place the pipe be-
low the action of frost. Sec also that
the inlet pipe is below frost, easy of
access and provided with a wire or
perforated tin strainer, and place the
outlet OIL discharge pipe where it can
be readily protected from freezing by
a covering of straw, and uncov-
cred when all danger of frost is
over. Ii by laying a pipe a quarter
OF a mile from the spring to the house
OF barn you can obtain a sufficient sup
ply of good water, do not fail to do it,
for often the expense of digging a well
will be quite as much.
BY all mean satisfy yourself that the
supply Of water is continuous, and that
the flow is full alike in midsummer
and in winter. Also first determine
the amount of flow by sinking a barrel
OF hogshead at the fountain-head, for
instances frequently occur both Of an
increase and a decrease over the usual
visible surface overflow. Decide this
very important point, therefore, before
much expense is incurred. If the
dwelling is situated higher than the
barn, pass the pipe to the dwelling
first. letting the overflow, if a tank be
used there, pass on to the barn, or ex-
tend the same pipe to that point, regu-
lating the supply of both places by

The situation, as regards the cholera,

deaths reach greater proportions, in
comparison with the number of cholera

generously contributed for the cholera

The sympathy of all Naples is extended
to him. Cardinal San Felice has visit
ed him. The measure adopted by the
Government in regard to process
sions is very unpopular. They
have been lately dispersed by force,
and in some instances pitched bat
ties have taken place between tho
police and the people. Some of the
storekeepers have been ordered to close
their stores, apparently for no other
reason than that they displayed re-
ligious pictures. The people are in
dignant, and in their ignorance actually
believe that the authorities want them
TO die.

For plate glass making sand from the
Isle of Wight is used, but for the best

Silica is found in the shade of quartz,

sand in the crystalline form; in slick or

solves glass entirely. Silica, although
infusibh at the highest temperature of
furnaces, has nevertheless been fused
by the use of the oxhydrogen blow pipe.

Which are suitable for the work of the

tFo infusible silicates are mixed to-

able glass. Fine plate glass has been
made with a compound of sand, slaked

glass, as fine as eve made, contains, on
being analysed: Silica 46.5, baryta 39.2p
lime 14.3; total 100.
To produce a glass requiring as little
fuel as possible, the glass-maker should
introduce as many bases as possible in
his mixture, such as potash, soda, lime,
magnesia, alumina, oxide of iron,
these. however, more particularly in
bottle-glass, where color is not so much
an object as cheapncss. Per contra, in
