He developed a method of local anesthesia by using creeping infiltration and demonstrated that minimal stimulation of the nervous system by a solution of novocain can have a therapeutic effect in a number of pathological processes. He proposed various kinds of novo-cain blocking and their use in combination with oil-balsam bandages for the treatment of wounds, trophic ulcers, burns, and other illnesses.
