BIGELOW, Henry Jacob (1818-90). Insensibility During Surgical Operations Produced by Inhalation. Reprinted from The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. Vol. XXXV. No. 16. Wednesday, November 18, 1846. [n.p., n.d.]. 4 leaves (slightly ragged at edges). Unbound, as issued.
FIRST SEPARATE PRINTING OF THE FIRST PUBLISHED ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DISCOVERY OF SURGICAL ANESTHESIA. On the 16th of October 1846, at the Massachusetts General Hospital, W. T. G. Morton demonstrated the use of ether as an anaesthetic in an operation which was witnessed by, among others, Bigelow. Morton had intended to keep his discovery secret in order to patent it, but after Bigelow communicated the results to the Academy of Arts and Sciences, Morton authorized him to publish a detailed account. This was first read before the Boston Society of Medical Improvements on the 9th of November and appeared shortly after in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. The present pamphlet is a resetting of the original article, but omits the last seven paragraphs which referred to Charles Jackson's (a Boston doctor) and Morton's proposed patent. Morton and Jackson were later involved in lawsuits to establish priority of discovery. '[This pamphlet] was probably intended for distribution abroad and was probably issued late in 1846, but the exact date has not been ascertained. It is perhaps significant that the text of the paper, abbreviated in exactly the same way, was issued on 26 December 1846 in the Hartford Curant'; Fulton and Stanton Anesthesia, IV.3; Cushing B-380; Norman One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine, 64a; Norman 233; cf. Welcome II p.166 (Journal); cf. Garrison & Morton 5651 (Journal).
