Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Inhalation of the Vapour of Ether in Surgical Operations: Containing a Description of the Various Stages of Etherization, and a Statement of the Result of Nearly Right Operations in Which Ether Has Been Employed in St. Georges and University College Hospitals From questions addressed to me by medical visitors and students, after the operations in the two hospitals in which I have had the honour of frequently administering the ether, I judged that a fuller account than I had hitherto given of the process might be useful and not unacceptable to many members of the profession, and that there would be some advantage in presenting it in a separate form, although, as a general rule, the medical periodicals and transactions of societies offer the best medium for communications of moderate length like the present. I have treated as briefly as I could, in the following pages, of the chief application only of the great discovery that will render last winter a memorable epoch in the annals of medical science.
