	Herbal In Germany.
		Among the German Fathers of Botany, Sprengel includes a comparatively little known name, that of Valerius Cordus (1515-1544), a man whose actual achievement was small, but who, if he had not died so young, would probably have become one of the most famous of the earlier herbalists.
		Cordus was injured by a kick from a horse, which brought on a fever, and his companions had great difficulty in getting him as far as Rome.
		Cordus did noteworthy service to medicine, however, for when he passed through Nuremberg on his travels he was able to lay before the physicians of that town a collection of medical recipes, chiefly selected from earlier writings.

		The name ether appears to have been applied to the drug only since the times of Frobenius, who in 1730 termed it spiritus aethereus or vini vitriolatus.

		The introduction of chemical anesthetic agents to abolish surgical pain occurred in an epoch‑making five‑year period between 1842 an 1847, though the first of these agents, diethyl ether, had been known for hundreds of years.
		In 1540 an alchemist, Valerius Cordus, gave the earliest account of the synthesis of this fluid, which he called oleum dulci vitrioli or "sweet oil of vitriol." To "very biting wine (ethyl alcohol) "sour oil of vitriol" (sulfuric acid) was added.
		Cordus found that sweet vitriol was an excellent solvent for many substances, and noted that it "may be used in pleurisy, peri-pneumonia, and hacking cough to draw from the lungs pus and mucus." F. Frobenius, a German chemist, gave sweet vitriol the name "ether" in 1730.

	The Under-treatment of Pain - an on-going medical controversy
		Even knock-out blows to the head may have been used in surgical operations.
		In 1536, Paracelsus described "laudanum", an alcoholic tincture of opium, for pain, and soon thereafter, Valerius Cordus described "sweet oil of vitriol" or ether, which, some 300 years later, was demonstrated by William Morton (1846) to be a scientifically effective anesthesia for surgery - thus, initiating the modern science of anesthesiology.
		However, the artificial relief of pain to mitigate suffering has been another issue, and the aspect of its morality has played a powerful role in governing the medical use of analgesics even into the current discussion.
