DISCOVERY OF NERVOCIDINE. A 1'owarful Anivsthttlc Made from an Indian riant A now local anaesthetic obtained from an Indian plant called "lmsu baau" has recently been submitted to careful examination by some Httiign rlau dentists. Tho anaesthetic action of this substance wns discovered a year ago by n dentist In Flume Dr. Dalum Who tried tho effect of basu-basu In cascs-.of palufu! pulpitis, and recom mended It ns a powerful agent which might replace arsenic In the treatment of thnt condition. Dr. Dalua also scp united the active principles of tho plant, which proved to be an alkaloid, nnd In his later experiments ho used thu salt obtained by treating the allia lold with hydrochloric acid. This salt has been named "ncrrocl dine." In weak solution (1-10 of 1-20 tier cent) ncrvocldlne produced a mark oil local anaesthesia of tho cornea of warm-blooded animals. Two drops of a per cent solution applied to tho human conjunctiva produced a burning sensation, accompanied by lachryms Hon, followed after twenty minutes by anaesthesia of the cornea lasting for flva hours. After soven hours the cornea regain ed Its normal condition. A 1-10 per cent solution of ncrvocldlne brushed over the mucous membrane of the check caused local anaesthesia of tho brushed surfaco and of tho tongue, ac companied-by loss of the sensation of tusto and tho perception of heat and cold. Attempts to produce local anaesthesia by subcutaneous Injections of ncrvocl dlno In animals have uot yet been suc cessful, says the IMUsburg Gazette. Tho general action of ncrvocldlne on the system was that of a poison, pro ducing death by paralysis of the mo tor centers of the nervous system and of the peripheric nerves. All the ex periment proved that uervocldlua was n powerful local anaesthetic which had the advantago of producing a much moro sustained actlou than cocaine, for tho effect of a hi or 1-5 per cent" solu tion might last for two or three days. It Is, howover, not without Its draw tracks, such as the local Irritation to which It gives rise, the slow production of tho anaesthetic state (from ten to twenty minutes being required) and o liability to the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, salivation and other symp toms of general poisoning.

The consumption of sugar In IUly has Increased enormously during the past two years. The principal re liners. who are Oermans nnd Austrtans, have so prospered that Italy In a few years will ccoso her Importations of sugar nl together. The difference In color between green tea and black tea depends on the fact that the first Is obtained from leaves dried as soon as they aro gathered. while In tho case of the black tea the leaves aro allowed to ferment before drying. Black tea, therefore, contains much less tannin than green.
