William Thomas Green Morton (August 9, 1819 – July 15, 1868) was an American dentist who first publicly demonstrated the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anaesthetic in 1846.
The promotion of his questionable claim to have been the discoverer of anaesthesia became an obsession for the rest of his life.
