The Discovery of Anesthetic

    Robert Liston used an anesthetic(麻醉劑)in all operation in London during which he cut off a leg in 26 seconds.There was not a sound from the sick man.a(chǎn)nd when he came to his senses he asked.“When are you going to begin?”What a change this was from the operations in earlier days!Simpson heard of it.hurried to London,and brought some ether(醚)back to Edinburgh.There he used it himself.But ether was not a perfect anesthetic.It had a bad smell,and its results on the sick man after the operation were unpleasant.Simpson decided to try to find a better anesthetic.
