We havo been able to _ex tract teeth painlessly with it, which we were never able to do with co caine. True, the frequently serious toxio effects of this latter drug oft times deterred us from its use; nov ertheless wo havo on opcasions used it, hut always with misgivings Ku* caine seems entirely froe from those dangers, though injected in solutions of such strength as would be highly risky with cocaine. It produces thorotugh local anmsthesia absolute ly without toxio effect, so, that the dentist may uso it without tho least misgiving. Marriage of Mr. George E.
