Question

One of these substances, like the telegraph, gastric physiology, and Lake Superior’s copper deposits, was the subject of a priority claim by C. T. Jackson. A monument celebrating these substances depicts a generic turban-clad “Good Samaritan.” These substances revealed the “gist of philosophy” to Benjamin Blood. Oliver Wendell Holmes (15[1])coined the word for these substances after a demonstration at which John Collins Warren declared “Gentlemen! (15[2])This is no humbug.” 19th-century hopes for a (*) “unitary hypothesis” of these substances led to the Meyer–Overton correlation of their (10[1])efficacy with solubility (10[1])in olive oil. A “dome” in Boston celebrates William (10[1])Morton’s work with these substances, which grew in popularity (10[1])after John Snow administered one to Queen (-5[1])Victoria (-5[6])during (-5[1])childbirth. For 10 points, 19th-century doctors used ether and chloroform as what substances? ■END■ (10[7]0[1])

ANSWER: anesthetics [or word forms of anesthesia; accept ethers, chloroform, nitrous oxide, or laughing gases until read; accept local, regional, or general anesthesia; accept Ether Monument or Ether Dome until “ether” is read; accept The Anaesthetic Revelation: and the Gist of Philosophy; prompt on drugs or gases]
