Bern: Haller, 1787.

San Francisco: Norman Publishing, 2001. Tarnished Idol is the first serious, scholarly biography of William T. G. Morton, the self-trained Boston dentist who is credited with demonstrating to the medical profession in 1846 the efficacy of sulfuric ether in allaying the pain of surgery. It is also the first detailed analysis of the "ether controversy," which grew out of Morton's association with the physician-chemist Charles T. Jackson, who claimed to have given Morton the vital clues that led to his success. The controversy arose after Morton patented the discovery and attempted, over Jackson's protestations, to reap a fortune from the controlled use of ether in surgery and dentistry. As a result, Morton spent much of the remainder of his life unsuccessfully trying to convince Congress that he was the discoverer of anesthesia, all in the expectation of receiving a large cash reward. Of the four book-length biographies of Morton previously published, two, by Benjamin Perley Poore (1856) and Nathan P.… Leer más
