Articaine
Articaine is a dental amide-type local anesthetic. It is the most widely used local anesthetic in a number of European countries and is available in many countries around the world.
History
This drug was first synthesized by Rusching in 1969, and brought to the market in Germany by Hoechst AG, a life-sciences German company, under the brand name Ultracain. This drug was originally referred to as "carticaine" until 1984.
In 1983 it was brought into the North American market, to Canada, under the name Ultracaine for dental use, manufactured in Germany and distributed by Hoechst-Marion-Roussel. This brand is currently manufactured in Germany by Sanofi-Aventis and distributed in North America by Hansamed Limited (since 1999). After Ultracaine's patent protection expired, new generic versions arrived to the Canadian market: (in order of appearance) Septanest (Septodont), Astracaine, (originally by AstraZeneca and now a Dentsply product), Zorcaine (Carestream Health/Kodak) and Orabloc (Pierrel)

Where Do I Go Now
by: Kelly Joe PhelpsWhere Do I Go Now
Walk for a hundred miles
Got me A thousand more to go
I walk a hundred miles
Got a thousand more to go
I can't quit my walking
It's about the only thing I know
Got up this morning
Bones are aching and tired
Got up this morning
My bones are aching and tired
The devil he just looked at me
He looked up and smiled
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Carry me somebody
Cause I don't think I can go myself
Carry me, somebody
Cause I don't think I can go myself
I'll fall down by the wayside
Covered in emptiness
Tell my family
I be dead and gone
Tell my family
I be dead and gone
Ain't that the way of the pilgrim
He's always moving on
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
Where do I go now?
