Gasu-Basu, q New Anesthetfc.

From the Lancet.
A new local anesthetic obtained from an
Indian plant, called "gasu-basu," has re-
Gently been submitted to careful examine
ton by some Hungarian dentists. The an
esthetic action OF this substance was dis
covered a year ago by dentist In Flume,
DR.. D. Dalma. who tried the effect Of gasu-
basu IN cases Of painful pulpitis. and rec
commended It as powerful agent which
might replace arsenic in the treatment of
that condition. DR.. Dalma also separated
the active principle Of the plant, which
proved to be an alkaloid. and in his later
experiments he used the salt obtained by
treating the alkaloid with hydrochloric acid
This salt has been named "nervocidfne" :"
In weak solutions (one-tenth or one-twen-
tieth per cent? nervocfdine produced a
marked local anesthesia OF the cornea of
warm-blooded animals. Two drops of q
one-twentieth per cent solution applied to
the human conJunctiva produced a burning
sensation accompanied by lacrymation and
followed after twenty minutes by anes-
thesia Of the cornea lasting for nye hours
After seven hours the cornea regained its
normal condition. A one-tenth per cent
solution of nervocidine brushed over the
mucous membrane OF the cheek caused
local anesthesia Of the brushed surface
and OF the tongue. accompanied by loss
Of the sensation Of taste and the percep-
tion Of touch. but without loss of the per-
ception OF heat and cold.

1.0O0 acres of choice fruit land, on which

Bridges will plant 5000 trees, and num-
Der of farmers have refused all overtures
for the purchase of their land, and will
plant every available piece Of land In choice
apple trees.
Owing to the ground being frozen and a
coating of Ice covering the surface. all the
rain that fell In Washington county the
early part of the week settled in pools in
the fields. Portions of wheat fields are
covered with miniature frozen lakes. This
will, no doubt, work ruin to the wheat.

stroke may cause complete failure. Hardly

to badness. color Of the hair, etc. for q

The Convention Hall Conference.
To the Editor Of The Evening Stsrr

To the Editor OF The Evening Start
VIII you allow me to correct an impres-
sion conveyed by an article headed mot
Authorized" in Wednesdays Star? II would
appear from this article. that the name OF
the Daughters OF the American Revolution
had been used without their consent In
connection with the movement recently
started by the Society of Washington Ar
lists. This movement has for its purpose
the bringing together of various orRaniza-
tions In conference, to discuss the FEAST
bility Of united action looking toward the
building Of a hall for exhibition and other
purposes. As a matter Of fact the Daugh-
ters, as one OF twenty or more organiza-
tions, were simply invited to send two dele
gates to this conference. This can hardly
be called an unauthorized use of their
name.
The bill introduced by Senator Mcmillan
makes no mention of any organiza ton pa-
triotic or otherwise. The exact text fol-
lows:
IA bill for the construction of a build
ing for assembly and exhibition purposes

tives of the United States In Congress- an
