ANESTHESIA PRODUCED BY DISTILLED WATER

Cells of Nitella flexilis Ag. lose their power to respond to ordinary electrical stimulation after 2 or 3 days in distilled water. It returns after a day or so when they are replaced in their normal environment, in a suitable nutrient solution, or in a dilute solution of CaCl2. Here anesthesia seems...
