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.

WEST POINT TRAININQ.
It Has Ita Lasting Effect on Men's
Manners.
The old West Pointer said to the lady
who sat beside lilm at the recent foot
ball game between Princeton and tho
soldiers: "You will observe how strong
are tho habits Inculcated by a mili
tary tralulng."
The gamo was Jjist about to begin.
Kacb eleven was drawn up on Its own
sldo of the field awaiting the sound ot
the referee's whistle. The pigskin was
placed on tho lino that divided tho
gridiron Into halves In placo of tho
kick-off. A-silence fell upon tho spec
tators as the referee raised his baud
and shouted:
"Aro you ready, Prlncetonr"
In reply from the Princeton captain
came sometlilug that sounded very
much like:
Yep."
Aro you ready. West Point. "
We are ready, sir," returned the
West Point captain, politely;
"I told you so," said tho old West
Poluter, smiling grimly. "The tralulng
of which this little Incident Is but a

been elaborated since my day. Last
summer I went up to Peeksklll where
the cadets were In camp, and early ono
morning I wis wandering through n

man stuck his head out of a tent uud
Inquired lu a stentorian voice:
" 'Who Is the woodenest plebe In this

plebe In the street stuck bis bead out

gravely:
"'I n. sir.'
"They don't dare to order the plebcs
to black their boots any more since tha

accomplish tbo same result quite as
