Rose oil, another aromatic side-chain alcohol, possesses local anesthetic properties which from laboratory studies seem to be superior to those of benzyl alcohol. 2. The toxicity of rose oil as determined on white mice and a dog is about the same as that recorded by Macht for benzyl alcohol. 3. Benzylcarbinol is more stable than benzyl alcohol, another point in favor of the former. 4. The solubility of the rose oil is sufficient for its therapeutic use. ER -
