Atlanta, Ga.-The unwilling of the
statue of DR.. Crawford w. Long, dis
coverer of the "use of sulphuric ether
as an anaesthetic in surgery" will
take place in the Hall of Fame, in the
Capitol at Washington, D. c., on
March Both.
After many years the rightful cred
. it of the discovery of ether anaes-
thesia has been recognized by Con-
gress and the statue of the great
Georgian will stand forever in the
Hall of Fame as memorial to the
man who discovered, what has been
called, "the greatest boon known to
mankind"
While it was established years ago
that DR.. Long was the first to dis
cover the use of anaesthesia, yet a
number of other physicians in other
parts of the country claimed the dis
tinction of being the first success
fully to use it in operations. Of those
who deserve special credit for the es-
Establishment Of DR.. Longs rightful
claims none are more deserving, the
medical fraternity in the South shows,
than Or. Joe Jacobs, the Atlanta
druggist.
DR.. Jacobs wrote many articles for
medical magazines and in ether ways
giving information to the correctness
of the rightful discoverer, DR.. Long,
and these attracted attention through
out the nation. AS a result, investi-
cations were made and the physicians
of England awarded the credit to DR..

DR.. Long for the Hall of Fame.
