Abstract
IT IS not widely known that Henry Jacob Bigelow's original announcement concerning surgical anesthesia, which was issued in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal on November 18, 1846, when its author was twenty-eight years of age, was reprinted at least four times within a few weeks of its appearance — twice with the omission of the final controversial paragraphs about the patent and twice in its entirety.†The first reprinting, which included the entire text, appeared in the Boston Daily Advertiser on November 19, the day after it had been published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
