 organs. Its long-continued use (cocain-habit) is 

 followed by insomnia, decay of moral and intellectual 

 power, emaciation, and death. Locally, it is a pow- 

 erful anesthetic in a limited area of surface. It acts 

 most rapidly on mucous tissues. Applied to the con- 

 junctiva of the eye it causes also dilatation of the 

 pupil and paralysis of the function of accommodation. 

 Applied to the tongue it temporarily destroys the sense 

 of taste. Dose gr. j^-ij. See also Anesthetic. C.-
