Antique Vintage 1835 Book Memoir Of James Jackson, Jr, M. D. Surgical Anesthesia

MEMOIR OF JAMES JACKSON, Jr. With extracts from his letters to his father and medical cases.

This is a memoir written by the father of James Jackson. James Jackson is a key figure in the argument of who is responsible for the introduction of surgical anesthesia. There is no question that Jackson contributed to the discovery of surgical anesthesia but his exact role is a subject of considerable discussion. The book has some mild foxing but is in otherwise very good condition. Someone interested in the history of surgical anesthesia will find this to be a valuable aid.
