Addiction to ether consumption, or etheromania, is the History [ ] During the second half of the 19th century, ether was in vogue as a Addiction to ether consumption had posed a serious Ether came primarily from Germany, smuggled across the border with Germany, sometimes also from blachany in local smuggler parlance, from the Polish word blacha meaning "steel sheets", from which they were made).

Many accidents caused by improper handling of fire were recorded at such places. Consumption [ ] Drinking ether is a surprising and challenging way to consume it, since it boils below body temperature and There is an art in swallowing the ether. The drinker first washes out his mouth with water “to cool it;” next he swallows a little water to cool his throat; then he tosses down the glass of ether; finally, he closes in with another draught of water to keep the ether from rising, or, in other words, to cool his stomach, so that the volatile ether may not be lost by eructation of its vapour. In a little time the "trick” is easily acquired by members of both sexes. Another recorded means of consumption was by inhalation of vapor, which develops at room temperature due to ether's [ citation needed] Legislation [ ] In 1923, the In the second half of the 1930s, media as well as government instit...

She has more than six years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and has a broad knowledge in several health technologies such medical devices, biologics and small molecules. • Instructor What Is Ether? Ethers are organic compounds in which two alkyl or aryl groups are bounded to a central oxygen atom. Ethers may be the product of the condensation of alcohols. These compounds are used in perfumes, waxes, oils, dyes, and lower ethers that function as anesthetics. They are highly volatile, flammable, and excellent organic solvents. Although ether refers to a broad family of organic compounds, diethyl ether has been popularly named ether. Diethyl Ether Dioxane Ether Structure The molecules contain an ether group, which consists of an oxygen atom linked to a chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms (alkyl group) or aromatic ring compounds (aryl group). Alkyl and aryl groups are represented by the letter R in the general formula R-O-R. The linkage C-O is characterized by bond angles of 104.5 degrees. Usually, ether also refers to diethyl-ether, a colorless, volatile, extremely flammable liquid used in industry and historically important as an anesthetic agent. Ether General Formula Chemical properties There are two reasons why the ether cannot form intermolecular hydrogen bonding between ether molecules: • The presence of b...

In the small town of Jefferson, Georgia, about 20 miles from the University of Georgia in Athens, a 26-year-old physician named Crawford Williamson Long removed a tumor from the neck of a man named James Venable while Venable was anesthetized with ether. The date was March 30, 1842. More than four years later, in Boston, Massachusetts, on Oct. 16, 1846, A physician observer rushed the news to local newspapers and medical journals, and thus history was written – inaccurately. For years, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston’s storied hospital that is Harvard’s main teaching hospital, has featured “ But it wasn’t true. Crawford Long deserved the credit. Morton toiled unsuccessfully for years to get the U.S. Congress to recognize his “discovery” and grant him a monetary award. He tried to disguise his ether with odorants and coloring agent, even naming it I became interested in the story of Long and ether while I was teaching “History of Psychology” in a building at the University of Georgia that bore a plaque commemorating Long’s discovery of anesthetic ether. The textbook I was using did not mention Long but credited Thomas Morton of Boston. Naturally, that aroused my curiosity, and I have been While most academics are well aware of the warning to publish or perish, you could say that Long’s case was an example of publish or almost relinquish your place in history. Long delayed publication for seven years for what he considered to be very good reasons, but by delaying, he ...

The ear is the related sense organ associated with the ether element whereas the mouth is the organ of action. The qualities of ether are not inherent but it takes up the qualities due to the absence of the properties of the other 4 elements. Ether is cold because it lacks the warmth of the fire, it is light in weight as it lacks the heaviness of earth and water, and it is immobile as it lacks the mobility and fluid nature of air. It has been called a subtle element as you cannot feel its profound presence yet it is present everywhere. This element has no boundaries and thus forms a part of all the other elements. Ether gives space for the other elements to exist, and in our body, all the movement is done within this empty space. The hollowness of the head, mouth, nose, ears, intestines, lungs, food pipe, heart, stomach, bladder, uterus, are all representative of the ether element. This emptiness or hollowness gives space for the organs to take their place and the other 4 elements to make them function optimally. The symbolism of the ether element In various cultures, the element of ether has been seen as a spiritual element. It is considered a bridge between the cosmos and the terrestrial world. Due to its emptiness, subtleness and omnipresence, it is considered as all-pervading. The ether element is also called spirit as it is not present in a physical form. Even though this element doesn’t have a symbol, it is often represented as a circle, spiral, or eight-spoked wheel...

Aether differed from the four terrestrial elements; it was incapable of motion of quality or motion of quantity. Aether was only capable of local motion. Aether naturally moved in circles, and had no contrary, or unnatural, motion. Aristotle also noted that Medieval scholastic philosophers granted aether changes of density, in which the bodies of the planets were considered to be more dense than the medium which filled the rest of the universe. Quintessence [ ] Quintessence (𝓠) is the The testament of Lullius, attributed to [ citation needed] The use of quintessence became popular within medieval alchemy. Quintessence stemmed from the medieval elemental system, which consisted of the four classical elements, and aether, or quintessence, in addition to two chemical elements representing metals: This elemental system spread rapidly throughout all of Europe and became popular with alchemists, especially in medicinal alchemy. Medicinal alchemy then sought to isolate quintessence and incorporate it within medicine and elixirs. The book of Quintessence, a 15th-century English translation of a continental text, quin...

Uses of Ether:Ether is an organic compound containing an oxygen atom and an ether group connected to two alkyl/aryl groups. It is formed by the substitution of a hydrogen atom of a hydrocarbon by an alkoxy (R–O)(R–O) or aryloxy group (Ar–O)(Ar–O) group. They are represented as R–O–R′.R–O–R′. The use of ether is not limited to using it as a disinfectant before an injection. It has a lot of other uses too. The word ‘Ether’ is derived from the Latin word ‘Aether’, which means the “pure upper, bright air”. Ethers are very light, volatile, flammable, and have a pleasant odour. They exist as a colourless liquid. Now, if the students are curious about the uses of these compounds, they can read this article on the Uses of ethers to clear all their doubts. What is Ether? Ether is a class of organic compounds in which an oxygen atom is connected to two alkyl or aryl groups. Their general formula isR–O–R′R–O–R′whereRRandR’R’represent two alkyl groups or aryl groups in some cases. Based on the type of alkyl or aryl groups, ethers are divided into two types: 1. Symmetrical Ether – Ethers in which both the alkyl or aryl groups attached to the oxygen atom are similar. For example, dimethyl ether \(\left( \right).\) Uses of Ether Among the many uses of ethers, we can find them in the fields of medicine, laboratory purposes, perfume, flavouring agents etc. Let’s examine some of their applications in more detail.
