Local Anaesthesia.—This results from the direct appli-cation of anaesthetic agents to nerve-terminations, andcauses analgesia of the tissues to a limited extent may be produced by the use of cold, a spray of ether,rhigolene, ethyl chloride, cocaine or eucaine hydrochlo-rate, holocaine hydrochlorate, guaiacol, or by Schleichsmethod of infiltration. Regional Anaesthesia,—This is also sometimes described ANAESTHETICS. 233 as neural anaesthesia, and results from the application ofanaesthetic agents to the nerve-rootSj nerve-trunks, or the spinal curd. The analgesia in this form of anaesthesiaextends from the point of application to the tissues sup-plied by the nerve or nerves, and therefore is not limited in extent. General Anaesthesia.—This is characterized by un-consciousness, as well as abolition
