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 UInrlrfl* Exchange Saloon, COLLEGE AVENUE. The beat Cincinnati Lager Beer, agars anil all kinds of Liquors sold cheap decl9-ly.
