It was the 1830s and Liston was renowned for his surgical speed. This was important because, before anesthesia was widely used, patients had to consciously endure every moment of surgery. The quest for anesthetics that could induce unconsciousness and enable more meticulous surgeries launched long before Liston. Around 200 CE, Chinese physician Hua Tuo described mixing alcohol with a powder of various ingredients to anesthetize patients. And 13th century Arab surgeon Ibn al-Quff described patients taking anesthetics, likely inhaling drugs like cannabis, opium, and mandrake, from saturated sponges.

This corset is too tight. Every pull of these strings intended to cinch my waist and enhance my breasts is instead crushing my already bruised ribs and reminding me of being handled too roughly by Jeremiah.

A town with more swindlers and conmen than there are bottles of liquor and gold in the stream.
