The Canadian Veterinary Record Vol 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Canadian Veterinary Record, Vol. 2: June, 1921 Why take the chances of toxic effect with cocaine when it is now possible to produce local anesthesia with Apothesine without such effects? Apothesine is a synthetic local anesthetic, suitable for use in any surgical procedure in which a local anesthetic is indicated, except for topical application to the mucous membrane. Apothesine was subjected to a series of tests by experienced veterinarians for a period of eighteen months. This was done before the product was offered to the veterinary profession. Read what some of these co-workers say about Apothesine: We have used Apothesine as a local anesthetic in 2% to 4% solution with Adrenalin on horses and dogs. In our opinion it is superior to cocaine, for it does not excite the patient and cause irritation or sloughing. Its effects are more lasting than those of cocaine. We have used nothing else this summer on operations of the legs, especially quittors, and have discontinued the use of cocaine. - Dr. E., Montreal. Well pleased with Apothesine. It works in every way as efficiently as cocaine. - Dr. W., New York. Used it on three dogs in scaling tartar from the teeth. Was very much pleased with results. Believe it a wonderful drug. - Dr. E., New York. Dr. K., New York, reports excision of a large granulous growth on coronary band, using a 31/2% solution of Apothesine. He made a deep incision, but the horse did not flinch. The wound healed with no sign of sloughing, and the doctor is delighted with the results. Very satisfactory results; no side actions; most of the operations were amputation of the tail or removal of tumors from dogs. I used the strength recommended, about 2% solution; in some cases 1% solution. - Dr. M., New York. Apothesine is supplied as hypodermic tablets (V. H. T. No. 557), ten to a tube. Each tablet contains Anothesine 41/2 grains and Adrenalin 1/500 grain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
