LONG, Crawford Williamson (1815-1878). An account of the first use of Sulphuric Ether by Inhalation as an anaesthetic in Surgical Operations [drop-title]. Extract from: Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, New Series, Vol. 5, No. 12 (December 1849), pp. [705]-714. N.p., December, 1849.
5 leaves (216 x 139 mm, spine neatly reinforced with cloth tape); cloth slipcase.
FIRST EDITION, offprint issue, of Long's account of the first successful use of sulfuric ether as a surgical anesthetic. William E. Clarke was the first to practice ether anesthesia when he administered ether to a dental patient during a tooth extraction in January 1842. "In March 1842, two months after Clarke's operation, Long removed a tumor from the neck of an etherized patient, who felt no pain during the procedure. Unaware of the historic nature of his work, Long did not publish his results until years after Morton had independently established the use of ether inhalation in surgery. VERY RARE. Cole, Anesthesia, pp. 108-115; Fulton-Stanton, Anesthesia II.1; Garrison-Morton 5664; Norman 1386.
