F

or time immemorial, humans suffered excru-

ciating dental pain – for which the only treat-

ment was tooth extraction. The only pain-

numbing relief was provided by alcohol or

opium, and the same was true of all surgery, which

was done while patients were awake. In the summer

of 1846, dentist William T.G. Morton began using a

product he called Letheon to first render his pa-

tients unconscious, making extractions painless.

Morton soon realized that his “invention” – sul-

phuric ether he purchased from a local chemist –

could also be used in surgery. On Oct. 16, 1846, the

dentist administered the drug to Glenn Abbott, and

the unconscious young man had a tumour removed

from his neck by surgeon John Warren. That first

successful use of anesthetic revolutionized surgery.

Others had tried various forms of anesthetic, but

Morton’s genius was regulating the intake of ether,

using a crude instrument consisting of a glass flask

and wooden mouthpiece. Morton hoped to turn

fame into fortune by patenting Letheon. That move

was seen as unseemly and he was vilified, dying

broke and bitter in 1868. It would take decades be-

fore he was recognized as one of the greatest med-

ical pioneers of all time.
