The discovery of anesthesia in the second quarter of the 19th century was one of the greatest advances in the history of medicine. This discovery has been variously attributed to Long, Wells, Morton, Jackson, and others. In this article, the authors place in perspective the role each of these men has played. The conclusion is that to Wells belongs the singular honor and title of discoverer.
19世纪中叶麻醉术的发现是医学史上最伟大的进步之一。这一发现被不同程度地归功于朗、韦尔斯、莫顿、杰克逊等人。在本文中，作者正确地阐述了这些人各自所起的作用。结论是，发现者这一独特的荣誉和称号应属于韦尔斯。
