TUE ABOLI'PION OF PAIN.
English Surgeon. Gives a New An-
aesthetic to the Public.
The ,abolition of pain resulting
from injury or operation is prom-
ised if the now anaesthetic process
described in The London Lancet ful-
fills its dieooverer's claims. Dr. F.
W. Forbes Ross makes the ant
nouneement in The Lancet, and
from the fact that it receives pub-
licity is that conservative publica-
tion the claim of Dr. Ross may be
considered to have received ortho-
dox approval. Moreover, Dr. Ross
has met the professional require-
ments by giving his discovery to the
public,
Speaking of the new boon to hu-
manity, Dr, Ross said :
"What I wish to make known is
the discovery of the wide applica-
tion of a prolonged local anaesthe-
tic of incalculable value to human-
ity. I know, and I wish the world
to know, how to kill pain following
the severest bodily injury from ac-
cident or during and after the se-
verest surgical operations•.
"By the use of this anaesthetic it
is possible to -day for a 'surgeon to
guarantee to a patient freedom
from pain after an secident or fel-
lowing an operation. I have found
an absolutely harmless and non-
poisonous antidote to physical pain
and crock, and this antidote cell be
used without the least fear of leea1
or general detriment to the suffer -
851."
In the operation tae patient is put
under a general anaesthetic in the
ordinary way and then 5 to 10 cu-
bic oenttmetres of a 1 par cent. soles-
tion of quiniuo and ora -hydrochlor-
ide are distributed over the nerve
supply of the part effected. The ef-
fect of snob injection is to prods -e
a total loss of the sensation of pain.
Popularly speaking, the affected
part is pset, to sleep.

In the current number of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association is told how the cornea
of a rabbit's eye was grafted upon
the •
eye of a patient in a hospital.
"The corneal graft is perfect and
clear," and vision restored, accord-
ing to t'lee article in the Journal.
The history of the ease allows that
there was "alanest complete de-
struction of the cornea of the right
eye and the patietat wee entirely un-
able to the from the eye a.1 the time
of entra'nee to the hospital, The
eye was properly coralitione'cl, pupil
dilated and the cornea removed,"
7n aleecr.ibing the operation the
article declares that "under local
anaesthesia the cernea ryas com-
pletely excised, except ono eat-
teetth of an inch, and the cornea of
the rabbit's eye was cut to fit the
excise(] area." Stitches were then
taken in the membrane w1111ch
unites the globe of the eye with the
eyelids drawn over the graft to hold
it its place.
In the corners of the eye, where
the upper and under eyelids meet,
were placed small metallic tubes,
bent to fit, The tubes worn "con-
nected with vacuum battles by rub-
ber tubes be draw off secretions
which otherwise woulc1 flood the eye
and prevent tlnfon."
In giving further details of the
grafting, the atticle says that
"these were, held in position by
bands of adhesive plaster and the
eye was bandaged for flue.t days.
The bandages were then removed to
the that the tubes were kept elver
for- prosper clraint•ge. The patient
was kept in the rocumbeet position,
