    For Local Anesthesia, ice has also been used, and also as a styptic. More was, perhaps, expected from it in both capacities by Dr. Arnott; but there is no doubt, on the one hand, that the steady application of cold is of great service in retarding the growth of the more acute tumours, and on the other, that its value as an anesthetic for operative purposes is limited to cases of minor importance, such as operations for onyxis or onychia.
