Discovery of the War Triumphs in Pain Conquest
An article excerpt notes a Collier's story about Gordon Edwards who reportedly developed a local anesthetic for external wounds during World War I. Edwards moved from New York to London and Paris seeking approval, claiming a topical solution could numb large wounds without injections. The tale cites a 1916 Verdun context and describes him testing in a lab to perfect a sloshable, surface-applied anesthetic. The piece questions authenticity but treats the claim as potentially true.
