Overall, Sir James Young Simpson and Chloroform, 1811-1870 provides a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of a medical innovator who revolutionized the field of surgery with his pioneering use of anesthesia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
