No Bad Effects
by Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1S.-The search of
noted surgeons for an anasthetic with no
detrimental effect on the heart or other
vital organs apparently has been re-
warded al last The result of investiga-
tions here and abroad. which have Just
been made public here. show that cleo
tricity is far superior To any of the drugs
now used to produce analgesia
The discovery is expected by promi-
nent surgeons to revolutioniZe modern
surgery. Electricity as an anRsthetic has
no bad effects on the heart II produces
a form of insensibility by acting on the
nerve centres OF the brain, called 'rlec-
trio sleep" When the circuit is opened
the influence of the anasthetic is imme-
diately lost and the patient becomes
conscious without feeling any of the
after effects common TO ether and chIoro-
form.
