The History of Anesthesiology Reprint Series: Part 1 – An Account of the First Use of Sulphuric Ether.
The fact that William T.G. Morton, a Northerner, took up the same search and made the famous first public demonstration of ether's powers rendered anesthesia a purely American discovery, a boon to humanity which, as Marion Sims wisely pointed out, should be--and has long since become--a proud and significant unifying element in the medical history of the United States.
A copy was presented to each registrant of The Third International Symposium on the History of Anesthesia TISHA in 1992.
Part One was originally published in 1971.
