The answer is ETHER.
"ETHER" refers to a volatile liquid compound that was historically used as a general anesthetic during surgical procedures. In the past, before safer and more effective alternatives were developed, ether was commonly administered to induce unconsciousness and insensitivity to pain during medical operations.
It works by depressing the central nervous system, leading to loss of consciousness and relaxation of muscles, thus allowing surgeons to perform procedures without causing pain or discomfort to the patient. The use of ether as an anesthetic dates back to the mid-19th century, when it revolutionized surgical practice by making procedures more bearable and less risky for patients.
