THE ATHENS GEOKGAIN: JULY 1/, 1677.
Eclectic Department.
The Discovery or iuntlmli.
BY J. MARION SIMS, M. D., NEW YORK.
y I- *
Long before the days of Horace
Wells and of Morton and Jackson,
we were on the eve of the discovery
amesthesia. In 1790, Priestly dis
covered nitrous oxide gas. In 1799,
Sir Humphrey Davy experimented
with it, and in 1800, he published his
Researches, Chemical and Philosoph
ical, chiefly concerning Nitrons Oxide
Gas and its Respiration, in which he
says, “ As nitrous oxide, in its exten
sive operations, appears capable of
destroying physical pain, it may
five miles west of Athens, at a quilt
ing. The gir’s and boys all finished
the evening by inhaling ether. Some
would laugh, some cry, some fight,
and some dance, just as when nitrous
oxide gas is inhaled. It was iu the
Fall of 1839, Wilhite was a romp*,
ing boy of seventeen. All the boys
and all the girls had inhaled the
ether, some of them more than once.
They were looking around fi»r new
subjects for it, wheu Wilhite saw a
negro boy at the door, who seemed
to be enjoying the sport. Wilhite
invited him to come in and try the
ether. He refused. Other young
men then insisted on his taking it.
He refused again in a most positive
whereupon, some of the
no great effusion of blood takes
place.” Sir Humphrey Davy had
inhaled the gas repeatedly for head
ache and other jtainful affections, and
finding relief for the first time, he
suggested its use as anaesthetic in
surgery; and if he had been a sur
geon, there is no doubt he woidd
have used it as such. But his great
idea was lost to the world ibr more
than forty years.
There are four claimants for the
honor of the discovery of amesthesia,
viz: Crawtord W. Long, of Athens,
Ga. ; Horace Wells, of Hartford,
t't.; W. T. G. Morton and Charles
T. Jackson, of Boston.
I propose to give a plain statement
of facts bearing on the question,
leaving tlie reader to draw his own
conclusions.
probably be used with advantage
during surgical operations, iu which j thoughtless young men caught hold
of the boy, and called Wilhite tojgive
him the ether. He struggled vio
lently, but they threw him down and
held him there while Wilhite poured
out some ether on a handkerchief,
and pressed it firmly over his mouth
anti nose. He fonght furiously. They
persisted, thinking it was great fun.
After a bug struggle, the boy became
quiet and unresisting. The young
men then let him alone. They were
greatly surprised that he did not gel
up immediately and say or do some
foolish thing lbr them to langh at.
He lay quietly, and with stentorous
hi caching. They tried to arouse him
but could not. They! then became
greatly alarmed, and sent one of their
number on horseback for Dr. Sydney
Reese, at Athens, five miles distant.
The messenger rode with all possible
j speed. lie fortunately found Dr.
i Reese at home, who lost no time in
| going to Mr. Ware’s. On iris arrival,
j ho found the negro lying oil his hack
j still soundly asleep. The young la*
j dies had lelt the frightful scene.
Young Wilhite and his principal at
complice, thinking that they had iu
mere play murdered a fellow being,
were so much alarmed that they con
templated making their escape fr< tn
the country; but the timely arrival
of Dr. Reese soon restored their
courage. Dr. Reese heard the history
of the transaction. He then threw
water in the face of the sleeping tie*-
gro, slapped him, raised him up,
shook him violently, and after a little,
he was roused to consciousness,
greatly to the relief of all present.
The Doctor then gave the youngsters
a lecture on the dangers of such
frolics, and cautioned them against a
repetition of their heedless act. This
of course broke up the ether frolics
in this neighborhood. Dr. Wilhite
thinks it «vas more than an hour from
the time the messenger started for
Dr. Reese till he returned with him
to Mr. Ware’s. The distance to
Athens and baek was ten miles, and
all tiiis time the boy was profoundly
narcotized.
This is unquestionably the first case
in which sulphuric ether was ever
given to the extent of pioducing
complete amesthesia.
The claims of Long have never
been fairly stated in connection with
those who came after him. I am
ashamed to say I was wholly igno
rant of them until a very recent day,
and 1 believe that tin* great mass of
t.l>e profession are in the same cate
gory v.itli me. I became acquainted 1
with the facts of Long’s labors by j
accident.
In October, 1870, Dr. I*. A. Wil
hite, of Anderson, S. C., came to
New York to consult me about the
health of his daughter. Her case
required a surgical operation, and it
was necessary for her to take ether,
which was given by Dr. Harry Sims.
After the operation was over, and
while wo were waiting to set* our
patient fully restored from the effects
of the anesthetic, the conversation
naturally turned upon the wonders of
atneesthesia, when Dr. Wilhite said :
“ Doctor, I assisted at the first opera
tion ever performed under the influ
ence of ether.” I said : “ But how
could this be, when yon have never
been in Boston, and the first opera
tion ever performed tinder ether was
by Warren, of Boston, in October,
1816, or as some claim, by Marcy, of
Hartford, in January, 1845.” Dr.
Wilhite then told nte that he had
assisted Dr. Crawford W. Long, of
Georgia, in extirpating a tumor from
the neck of Mr. Venable, in March,
1842, while ho was completely anaes-
thatized by the inhalation of sulphuric
ct |)er—that Mr. Venable was as pro
foundly anaesthetized as the patient
then lying before us—and he also
said that he had assisted Dr. Long to
opera e on other patients under the
influence of ether in 1843 and ’44,
while he was a student of medieine
iu Dr. Long’s oflice. He declared
that Long was the real and original
discoverer of amesthesia, and he l>o
Pu-ved lie would be so acknowledged
if ill the Diets in the ease were fully j
set until.
lie further said that l.e presumed
tint lie (Dr. Wilhite) was the first
p, rsi ,r, ‘who had ever profoundly
elli. i izcib'-any one, and it was under
lli.'se eiiviiin^t.inees. Dr. Wilhite
s , vs that from the time he was ten
ars 'old (1832), he was Cun liar with
1,'die use' ot ether by iuhnlatinu as an
uUi'itani; that the bos s and girls in
ij-tis neighborhood, near Athens,
, ( jji nl J ria, were in the constant habit
i,if using it; that there was hardly
tver a gathering of young people that
did not wind up with an ether frolic.
Old-fashioned “quiltings” were-very
cuninon in his day and time, and in
t; e event g the boys and young me»»
,w«*>ild go to ttiese for the purpose of
i,lance or an ether frolic.
On one occasion, he met several
■'••utig people at Mr. Ware’s, about
