Overview

The text traces the chaotic, ego-driven battle over the discovery of pain-free surgery. It documents primary texts from 1824 to 1861, chronicling the fierce "ether controversy" between pioneers like William T.G. Morton, Horace Wells, and Crawford Long. No dust jacket. Boards and spine clean. Binding tight and firm. Gilt intact. Pages clean and bright. Limited edition 816 out of 7500. An impressive additon to any medical enthusiasts collection.
