Download or read book I Awaken to Glory written by Horace Wells and published by Watson Publishing International. This book was released on 1994 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Horace Wells has come to be viewed over the years as an enigmatic figure. Owing to his death by suicide in early 1848, and his inability to participate in the debate that soon erupted over credit for the discovery of anesthesia, the literature on him is confused, fragmentary and incomplete. While he is considered by some to have been the most benevolent and ethically correct participant in the early anesthesia story, an idealist who believed that anesthesia should be "as free as the air we breathe," he has been characterized by others as "volatile," "erratic," "errant," and "wayward."" "In 1991, three years before the celebration of the sesquicentennial of Wells's discovery of inhalation anesthesia, the contributors to this volume decided that it was high time to dig deeper into the literature on Wells and on the early anesthesia controversy and attempt to present an accurate account of Wells and his role in ushering in the era of modern anesthesia. Out of their research has emerged I Awaken To Glory, a compilation of twelve essays which not only present a clearer picture of Wells's efforts in bringing about painless surgery, but also delve into many aspects of his life and character that have been largely ignored." "The initial essay in I Awaken To Glory reviews the period between 1800, when Humphry Davy suggested that nitrous oxide gas might prove useful in alleviating pain during surgical operations, and 1844, when Horace Wells was first to put Davy's observation to the test. It explores why it took forty-four years for this event to happen, and then reviews and explicates the momentous circumstances that afterwards led to the introduction of anesthesia into surgery. Two succeeding essays describe and analyze Horace Wells's dental practice for the very first time, also presenting in transcribed form his "Day Book A," perhaps the most complete record extant of dental office transactions in the United States at mid-century. Three essays discuss some of the people who played an integral part in Wells's life: his wife Elizabeth; John M. Riggs, who performed on Wells the first operation under nitrous oxide anesthesia; and Christopher Starr Brewster, the American dentist in Paris who espoused Wells's cause in France. Other essays are devoted to Wells's twentieth-century biographer, W. Harry Archer, who, with his wife, preserved the manuscripts which remain the chief sources for documenting Horace Wells's life; the reception of Wells's discovery in Great Britain; the pictorial iconography of Wells; and his depictions in sculpture and three dimensional art. A number of portraits of Wells and his wife within have not been reproduced before, and several important documents also appear in print for the very first time." "With the publication of I Awaken To Glory we now have a more perfect reconstruction of Wells the discoverer, Wells the scientist, Wells the inventor, Wells the dentist, Wells the humanist, and - last, but not least - Wells the man. The materials in this volume combine with W. Harry Archer's "Life and Letters of Horace Wells" to comprise the definitive documentation of Wells and his extraordinary contribution to medicine."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Strange and True Tale of Horace Wells Surgeon Dentist written by Michael Downs and published by Acre Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1844, Horace Wells, a Connecticut dentist, encountered nitrous oxide, or laughing gas--then an entertainment for performers in carnival-like theatrical acts--and began administering the gas as the first true anesthetic. His discovery would change the world, reshaping medicine and humanity's relationship with pain. But that discovery would also thrust Wells into scandals that threatened his reputation, his family, and his sanity--hardships and triumphs that resonate in today's struggles with what hurts us and what we take to stop the hurt. In this novel, Michael Downs mines the gaps in the historical record and imagines the motivations and mysteries behind Wells's morbid fascination with pain, as well as the price he and his wife, Elizabeth, paid--first through his obsession, then his addiction. The book is a love story, but also a story of what love can't redeem; of narcotic dreams and waking insanity; of humbug and miracle; of pain's destruction and what pains can never be eased. Following Wells throughout New England and across the ocean to Paris, the novel immerses the reader in the nineteenth century, conveying through rich physical description and telling dialogue the tragic life of a dentist who gave everything to rid the world of suffering.
