NEW ANESTHETIC IS REPORTED SUCCESS Avert in Found to Have Advantage for Eye Operations. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, July 12.—Successful use of the new anesthetic, avertin. in certain kinds of eye operations is reported by Dr. W. H. Wilmer of the Johns Hopkins hospital and University in a communication to the Arne* ican Ophthalmological Society. Avertin is known chemically as tribromcthanol. It was developed in Germany by Dr. Richard Willstratter of Munich and Dr. Duisberg of Jena. The new anesthetic has many advantages over ether and is equally safe for certain types of surgery. It is injected instead of being inhaled and is given while the patient is in bed. He quickly falls into a deep sleep and awakens hours after the operation. The preliminary period of excitement and nervousness is eliminated, as well as a good bit of the post-operative pain and discomfort. Vomiting is infrequent after awakening from avertin anesthesia. From the surgeon's viewpoint avertin has the added advantage of giving thorough relaxation and there is less bleeding. Pulse and breathing rate are changed only slightly and the blood pressure is lowered a little.
