Feb, 2.-— Dr, James Cotton. the young Toronto -surgeon whose new ether. it is claimed: will revolutionize pain-easing _ methods, has won his fight for its recognition. The new anaesthetic is being: produced on a huge scale by the E. I. DuPont de Nemours Co., Wilmington, Del. Dr.’ Cotton’s wife, concert singer and protege of the late Lillian Nordi- ca, shares with him the’honor of the triumph, he insisted today, as he told the story Of what shis discovery. will do, and: of the years of discourage- ment while’ it ‘was. being. developed and tested, andwhile leading medical men scoffed-at its possibilities. The--new ether, Dr. Cotton asserts,! is really a.,development of ether that was discovered years ago, but it acts more quickly,- almost entirely elim- inates ‘nausea and’ allows even major operations; sueh.as removal of the appendix, to be performed without the patient’s either feeling pain or losing consciousness. It is said to be valuable in child-! birth.. relieving the mother of .much suffering, though it does not remove} all: sensation of pain. Perhaps. its. queerest effect is that when a’ cer- tain amount is. administered, the-pa- tient becomes incapable of. telling anything but the exagt. truth in, an- swer to-a question. The most. hard- ened criminals, it: is claimed, will, give up: their. secrets. under its influence. Some methods of administering the ether. Dr. Cotton says, do not differ greatly from the familiar ones. Oth- ers are as simple as the donning | a mask. A reporter stuck pins into 5 man equipped with such a mask, with no apparent. effect other than to amuse him. periments in developing the new} ether lasted. for years. and were laugh- | ' ed at by many of the foremost. medi- ! al men. The first promising’ results weré obtained in<May, 1916, when a number of animals were relieved from ! pain“without, going to sleep. At this time it cost $80 a pound to manufac- ; ture the material, and it took three | weeks to make a pound. “I offered. the discovery to the To- ronto General Hospital and Univers- | ity of Toronto, to, do with-as - they pleased. for war needs,” said Dr. Cot- fon, “Unable to-get from them’ a statement whether they ;accepted it or not, after several months I gave the secret to the DuPonts: on condition that overseas troops should benefit by it without cost.
