COCAINE AS AN AEESTHETIC.
DIR. ]. LEONARD CORNING TELLS OF IT'S USE BY
HIM IN 1885.

HIN IN 1880
The anoputation Of a woman's feet and the tre-
panning of her skull with successful results on
tuesday at Oakland Cal, with the use of cocaine
as an ansesthetic have revived comment among
surgeons of this city concerning treatment which
is said to have been discovered fifteen years ago
by DR. J. Leonard Corning. of No. So West Thirty
eighth-st The cocaine was applied by being In
jected into the spinal column of the patient. This
treatment has hitherto been chiefly confined to
nervous diseases It's introduction into surgery Is
said to be recent, however, and the Oakland case
is one of the few thus far known to the surgical
world.
DR.. Corning said last night in explanation Of the
treatment:
1.-THE injection Of cocaine into the spinal cord
for ansesthetic results first used In 1885 for
vous diseases At that time 1 made mention in a
medical treatise that believed the treatment could
also he used in surgery. l am not surgeon my
self, but a neurologiSt. The method lay dormant
long time, and has only come to the attention OF
now being made in Europe, believe with success
The doctor said that more credit was due to the
surgeons who have adopted the treatment than to
himself To produce ansesthesia by means or this
method the cocaine is injected just above those
nerves which radiate from the spinal column TO
that member of the body on which the surgeon
sensible the surgeons knife be welded without
the knowledge of the patient Thus operation
may be performed without pain. while the mind of
the patient remains clear. This use or cocaine IS
considered superior to that of ether chlorcform,
the common administration of which affects the
whole system. renders the brain unconscious and
often Weakens the nervous tissues.
DR.. George 7. Shrady, of No East SiXty-sixth-
St. when yesterday, said that he believed the
