James Simpson,Scottish physician
James Simpson (1811-1870),Scottish physician. Simpson,later James Young Simpson,was the first person to use anaesthetics on women giving birth. He first used ether during a difficult labour on 19 January 1847. In November 1847 he began using chloroform instead of ether. Simpson published a pamphlet,'Account of a New Anaesthetic Agent' (1847),but opponents claimed that painful labour was a biological and religious necessity. In 1853,Queen Victoria used chloroform during childbirth. Simpson was made a baronet in 1866. This 1893 drawing is by the US artist Frederick S. M. Pape (signature and year at bottom)
