Excerpt from Cocaine and Its Use in Ophthalmic and General Surgery
No modern remedy has been received by the profession with such general enthusiasm, none has become so rapidly popular, and scarcely any one has shown so extensive a field of useful application as cocaine, the local an?sthetic recently introduced by Dr. C. Koller, of Vienna. Convinced that it will not only continue to prove as valuable as it has hitherto been found, but that its properties will be the subject of numerous scientific researches and clinical observations all over the globe for many years to come, I purpose, as far as I am able, to collect in the following pages what knowledge has thus far been acquired on this highly interesting and important drug. To help the reader in gathering information is, however, not the only object of this paper; I would like it also to act as a stimulus for new investigations. From this standpoint I consider a faithful, unabridged translation of the original paper which Dr. Koller read before the Medical Society of Vienna, and published in the Wien. med. Wochenschr., Oct. 25, and Nov. 1, 1884, not only as an acknowledgment of a debt of gratitude we all owe to him, but also as an appropriate introduction to the present article. The paper is as follows:
On the Use of Cocaine to An?sthetize the Eye.
By Dr. Karl Koller, Assistant Physician to the General Hospital in Vienna (Translated by H. Knapp.)
I want to report on some experiments which I have made in regard to, an?sthetizing the eye.
