he was the center OF attraction as he

Jocko was not the first male being

A New Anaesthetic

Y 4 -
Some interesting experiments with
a new anesthetic, which IT is believed
may prove of great service, are at
present being conducted on animals
in Cambridge laboratory The anes-
thetic is substance which has for a
considerable time been familiar to
medical men and chemists under the
name of urethanes This drug. which
is obtained by combining urea with
alch0hol, is administered hypodermi-
caliy, like morphia, with a syringe.
Al short time after the injection has
been made the animal becomes droW
sy and soon passes into state Of
unconsciousness. Insensibility to pain
is complete and any operation may be
carried out with perfect security The
animals remains in this insensible
state for some hours, and then gradu-
ally regains consciousness.
The great advantage Of urethane is
said to be the fact that heart failure
never occurs when it is properly used.
Should the drug be given in an over
dose death viii, OF course, take place,
but that is due primarily to failure OF.
breathing. The Importance of this is.
not clear until one realizes that the
majority of deaths under chloroform
occur as the result Of heart failure.
When breathing stops, as 1t frequent.
~ does during the administration of
an inhaled anesthetic, It can usually
be started again by artificial respira-
ton, always provided that the heart
is still beating The assurance that;
in all cases Of overdose the breathing
would be affected before the heart
and not after it--would be an Inn
mense comfort to the surgeon and am.
esthetist.
Another advantage of the new anes-
thetic is the fact that its admiuistra-
ton is not attended by the choking
sensation experienced with ether and
chloroform. which are given under
mask Moreover, after urethane sick
ness does not take place Thus the
ever present danger of stitches giving
way and ligatures slipping Oft during
the process Of retching is avoided.
On the other hand. very prolong-
ed period Of insensibilftg about six
hours follows the administration Of
urethane. It has not. SO far. been
found possible to shorten this time.
Whether the advantages VIM outweigh |
this undoubted Disadvantage remains /

thetic IS proving great boon to those /
