J.Y. Simpson of Edinburgh, Scotland discovered chloroform anesthesia in November 1847. During this time, W.T.G. Morton's agents had been collecting royalties for the use of ether across much of the United States. After reading about the advantages of chloroform as cited in C.T. Jackson's writings in the Boston Daily Atlas, S.F. Gladwin, a dentist in Lowell, Massachusetts, who had been reluctant to pay any ether royalties, demonstrated his independence and opportunism in swiftly adopting chloroform in his practice and publicizing its use through local advertisements.
苏格兰爱丁堡的J.Y. 辛普森于1847年11月发现了氯仿麻醉法。在此期间，W.T.G. 莫顿的代理人一直在美国大部分地区收取使用乙醚的特许权使用费。在阅读了C.T. 杰克逊发表于《波士顿每日图集》上有关氯仿优点的文章后，马萨诸塞州洛厄尔的牙医S.F. 格拉德温此前一直不愿支付任何乙醚特许权使用费，他展现出了独立性和机会主义，迅速在其行医过程中采用氯仿，并通过当地广告宣传其用途。
