COCAINE AS ANESTHETIC.
BOOKSELLERS Research Institute Re.
ports an important Discovery.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-JOhn D.
Rockefeller's $3,OOOOOO institute for
medical research in this city an
nounces a discovery which is expected
to revolutionize the use of anesthetics
in surgery.
The discovery relates to cocaine. AS
an anesthetic for serious operations
ether is less dangerous than chlOr-
oform, but it stimulates the heart and
after it's influence has subsidized, the
patient becomes deathly sick. ChlorO-
form does not produce nausea, but
it depresses the heart and even
slight overdose is likely to cause
death.
Cocaine heretofore has been re-
garded as available only for minor
operations. DR.. L. Kast and DR.. 8. j.
Meltzer, of the Rockefeller institute
after series OF elaborate investiga-
ton have found out, however, that
cocaine, instead of being a mild drug,
in reality exerts in certain dosage
a profound and far-reaching influence
over the internal organs, which will
render it available for serious OPP
erations. This is boon to surgeons
as well as patients, because cocaine
is not at all dangerous to use and has
no bad effects.
