a NEW ANAsTHErIc.
orthoform Does Wonders for Ulcers,
Cancers and Wounds.

Cancers and Wounds.
Two German investigators, MN. Elm
horn and Heinz, have discovered a
new anaesthetic agent to which they
have given the name orthoform, says
the Paris Temps. This substance be-
longs to the chemical group of aro
matte amido-ethers. 1t consists of a
white crystalline powder, without taste
or odor. 1t does not readily dissolve
and its action is slow. But this fact
Is compensated for by the duration OF
the influence of the substance. Ortho-
form is produced with acids from sol
uble salts which possess anaesthetic
properties. Applied to the surface of
wound or an irritated mucous mem
orane, orthoform. in powder or oint-
ment, produces insensibility. Many
observations of sufferers bring this
fact TO light boldly. With bad burns
In particular-snd every one knows
how distressing these are-orthoform
subdues the liveliest pain in few
minutes, and its effect lasts for hours
lnasmuch as orthoform is not poison

nifty from two TO six grains a day., one
may safely make a fresh application

great is the toleration of 1t by the or
ganism, for instance, in case Of can
cerous ulcer OF the face. which is the
seat OF such intense pain as to render
sleep impossible. The ulcer Is sprin-
kled with orthoform for a week and
the quantity applied may amount to
fifty grains. The patient ceases to suf-
fer and no Inconvenience follows the
experiment, For the torture of cancer

Heinz have administered many doses
of a gram in the course OF single day.

OF wounds or ulcers of the skin and
mucous membrane. and. as 1t is strong

bacterial ravages. Il has no action on
unbroken skin, but its powerful in
fiuence permits one to regard II as suit
