In 1846, American dentist William T. G. Morton (1819-1868) used ether instead of whiskey for painless tooth extraction. Soon after another doctor followed his example and painlessly removed a tumor from a patient’s neck.
After these events, that medical procedure spread to all parts of the world and was named anesthesia.
