摘要

1846年10月14日,美国麻萨诸塞州波士顿总医院的外科医生查尔斯·F·海伍德给牙医威廉·TG·莫顿写了一封邀请函,邀请他在1846年10月16日医院的一次外科手术中演示他为预防疼痛所做的准备。该手术将成为第一个借助吸入硫醚而产生的昏迷进行的公开手术。这一发现的消息从波士顿传遍了世界——这一重大行动的日期现在被称为以太日。虽然海伍德的信在19世纪的抄本中是众所周知的,但从一封被认为是原件的信中可以明显看出,这些抄本在出版前被编辑过。这封信现在保存在美国马萨诸塞州波士顿的马萨诸塞州历史学会的WTG Morton文件中。海伍德信的忠实抄本和这封具有历史意义的信的两张照片一起出版了。

A prelude to Ether Day 1846: Charles F Heywood's letter to William TG Morton.

On 14 October 1846, Charles F Heywood, house-surgeon at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA, penned an invitation to the dentist William TG Morton to demonstrate his preparation to prevent pain during a surgical operation at the Hospital on 16 October 1846. The operation would become the first public operation performed with the aid of insensibility produced by the inhalation of sulphuric ether. From Boston, news of the discovery spread around the world-the date of this momentous operation is now celebrated as Ether Day. Although Heywood's letter is well-known from 19th century transcripts, it is apparent from examining a letter believed to be the original, now preserved in the WTG Morton papers held by the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, MA, USA, that these transcripts were edited before publication. A faithful transcript of Heywood's letter is published along with two images of the historic letter.
