Excerpt from Local Anesthesia: Its Scientific Basis and Practical UseThe writer of this work, Professor Braun, has justly been called the father of local anesthesia. My Object in placing his work at the command of the English speaking surgical profession is to systematize the vague, erratic, and unsatisfactory efforts which have been made in this field for many years, by offering a logical procedure based upon scientific facts and having an exact and undeviating technique.Considering the brilliant results that are being obtained especially in Germany with infiltration and conduction anesthesia, it is With much pride that we can number among our American confreres, men who were pioneers in this particular form of anesthesia. Matas, Cushing, Corning, Crile and others attempted conduction anes thesia shortly after the introduction of cocaine in 1884. Their methods, however, held but a minor place in surgery until the introduction of the suprarenal prepara tions and the less toxic substitutes for cocain. It was only after the discovery of the active salts of the suprarenal gland by Takamine in 1901 that the progress of local anesthesia became assured, for without its use anesthesia sufficient for surgical purposes was impossible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
