1847299971847. Reprint By Lea & Febiger Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1959. - London John Churchill 1847 8° Bl. 1 Portr. VIII 88 pp. 2 Abbildungen orig. Leinenband. First Edition! John Snow 1813-1858 of London was the first qualified physician to devote his full time to anaesthesia. Through his medical training he was interested in gases and when news arrieved from America in late 1846 that surgery could be performed painlessly by inhailing the vapour of ether he began his practice in anesthesia and his investigations. Since the first attempts to produce anesthesia in England with ether were inept some distrust of the method developed. Snow believed it was the technic of administrations and procceeded to remedy the situtation by developing an improved inhalter. Thenceforth the administration of ether was successful. Snow was not only a praticing anesthetist but being endowed with intellectual curiosty he was also a teachter and an investigator. Snow reported his new inhaler mask to the Westminster Medical Society. In addition he appreciated the need for measuring the ammount of agent administered the significance of oxygen lack the problem of carbon dioxide; and for the guidance of clinicians he divided the progress of anesthesia into five stages. All this material and carious researches were gathered into a monograph in October 1847. It was entitled "On the Inhalation of the Vapour Ether". It was and is a rare classic. Today there are only six original copies extant." The Board of Trustees Wood-Library "regulation inhaler the first to control the amount of ether vapour by the patient."Garrison & Morton No. 5666; Duncum pp.17-22. unknown
