A fine sculpture in the Boston Public Garden is a marble group
representing the Good Samaritan helping the man who had fallen
among thieves. But more beautiful than the fine work of the
sculptor is the inscription showing how the monument was erected
to commemorate the earliest use of anesthetics in surgery at the
Massachusetts General Hospital, with these texts from Scripture
appended:
“Neither shall there be any more pain.”
“This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is
wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.”--FRANKLIN
NOBLE, “Sermons in Illustration.”
