For this reason, cocaine solutions which are to be used for permeation anzsthesia in nose and throat work should always be made immediately before use. ‘SOLOID’ BRAND CocAINE HypDRo- CHLORIDE provides the ideal means of preparing accurate and reliable solutions. BENZAMINE (6-EUCAINE) Benzamine (or f-eucaine) is slightly slower in action than cocaine, but is considerably less toxic and its action is more prolonged. ADRENALIN For permeation anzthesia, 1 in 1000 solution is added in equal quantity to a10 per cent. solution of cocaine or B-eucaine. For infiltration anesthesia by injection, not more than 5 minims of adrenalin solution, 1 in 1000, should be added to each drachm of anesthetic solution, as the injection of stronger solutions may cause sloughing. Adrenalin is in some cases invaluable, applied in 1 in 5000 solution, for the control of bleeding in nasal surgery. In addition to its use as a hemostatic, adrenalin is of value in 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 5000 solution,
