Excerpt from An Examination of the Question of Anęsthesia: Arising on the Memorial of Charles Thomas Wells
This put an extinguisher on W. T. G. Morton for the time being, but fearing that further efforts might be made in his behalf at the Second Session, the friends of Mrs. Wells and son felt it to be their duty to move in the matter. Hence a petition by Charles T. Wells praying a gratuity in consideration of the discovery by his father, Dr. Horace Wells, deceased, of the availability of anaesthetic agents in surgical operations, was put into the hands of the undersigned, and he had the honor to present it to the Senate, January 3d, 1853. On the succeeding day it was referred to a select Committee, consisting of Mr. Walker, Mr. Smith, (the undersigned,) Mr. Davis, Mr. Butler, and Mr. Dixon. February 4th, Mr. Dixon was excused, and Mr. Hamlin appointed in his place.
