Patent Offers Dental Patient
uit-FIuuOred Anestltetics
Another Advances Ne,U RubberIike
Substance-Deuice Keeps Foul
From Skiddiug Off Platter.

A pleasant tasting assortment of
local aneStheticS for dentists and a
new kind Of artificial rubber were
among the patents issued here this
week.
The new anesthetics, for which a
patent was taken out by David Curtis
of New York City, call for a combi-
nation of procaine, commonly used
by dentists for hypodermic Injections
and the salts of various acids obtained
from fruit juices-especially citric acid
from oranges and lemons and the
malic acid from apples, grapes, goose
berries or 'rhubarb. They preserve
the fruit taste, says the inventor, and
are potent both when injected and
when rubbed on the skin in minor
dental operations. Moreover, he says.
they are superior in action to procaine
Itself and. made in the form of pow
ders, can be prepared as liquids daily
by the doctor.
The new rubberlike substance,
which its inventor claims has some ad-
vantage over real rubber in resistance
10 OILS and acids, was patented by
Harvey G. Kittredge of Dayton, Ohio
and is made from materials which
hitherto have gone to waste. It is
formed basically from the polymers,
Or molecular combinations, of vegeta-
BILE oils used in the production of
varnish-such as tung, linseed, cotton
seed and soy bean oils-when they are
heated to about $50 degrees Fahren-
heit. In most cases the first form of
these polymers is that of a thick,
viscous liquid which can be baked
on textiles or liquids to give a water
proof coat practically indistinguish-
able from real rubber. Vulcanizing
and filling materials can be added to
the liquid form to produce a rubber
like solid.
