Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal to the Public, by Members of the Medical Profession We desire your attention for a moment to a subject that concerns us all. About twelve years ago it was discovered that physical torture was no longer a necessary accompaniment of the surgeon's knife, and that generations yet to be born might come into the world unattended by the pain and dread which had caused tears to flow since the expulsion from Eden that, by a few inspirations of a simple vapor, the most acute pangs of human suffering, whether from wound or sickness, might be quieted and laid asleep. Twelve years of experience have proved this, and that it is one of the greatest medical discoveries the world has ever known. Our National Government, competent institutions, and the great bulk of the medical profession, after most careful and patient investigation, have declared by whom this all-important fact was brought to light and promulgated. Their decision stands unshaken, notwithstanding the most persevering efforts of rival contestants. Yet, strange to say, to this day, it would have been vastly better for its author, his wife, and their children, if he had buried the secret, and permitted ages more to pass before it came to light.
