Harry Archer that explores the life and work of Horace Wells, a dentist who is credited with discovering the use of anesthesia in medical procedures. The book delves into Wells' childhood, education, and early career as a dentist, as well as his experimentation with nitrous oxide gas as a form of pain relief during dental procedures.The book also covers Wells' partnership with William Morton, a physician who helped to refine the use of anesthesia in surgery, and the controversy that arose over who should be credited with the discovery. Through a collection of Wells' personal letters and other primary source material, the book provides insight into his personal and professional life, as well as his struggles with addiction and mental illness.Overall, The Life And Letters Of Horace Wells: Discoverer Of Anesthesia is a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of a medical pioneer whose work has had a profound impact on modern medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
