Excerpt from A Narrative of Events: Connected With the Introduction of Sulphuric Ether Into Surgical Use
The discovery of Surgical Anæsthesia was a surprise. Its advent was marked by no tentative steps. It appeared to have had no preliminary, experimental stage, but burst like a revelation upon the medical profession, as well as the community, virtually in the fulness of perfection, when the first successful demonstration of its practicability was made known.
For this reason, and because a bitter dissension quickly arose as to whom the credit of the discovery should be accorded, it may not be superfluous to recall and preserve the details of the occurrence, - especially as many of the incidents have probably been forgotten, and are of a nature to be interesting to all physicians, more particularly to those in this immediate vicinity. The principals in the dramatic event have died.
