Excerpt from The Invention of Anesthetic Inhalation: Or "Discovery of Anesthesia"
MY dear sir: I have much pleasure in offering for your kind acceptance the accompanying pamphlet. In the Monthly Journal of Medical Science I have a long article on Etherization, vindicating your claims over those of Jackson.
Of course the great thought is that of producing insensibility, and for that the world 28, I think, indebted to you.
