Vorläufige Mitteilung über locale Anästheserung am Auge.
Klin. Mbl. Augenheilk., 22, Beilageheft, 60-63. 1884.
Introduction of cocaine as a local anesthetic; this was the first local anesthetic employed (16 September 1884). Freud (No. 1880.1) is accredited by some with this innovation, but in this connection see the letter by Koller in J. Amer. med. Ass., 1941, 117, 1284. English translation by H. Knapp in Arch. Ophthal. (Chicago), December, 1884.
