Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Representative Thomas M. Bell of Georgia has presented Vice Pres. Marshal [i.e. Marshall] with a gavel made from the famous Mulberry tree in Jefferson County Georgia under which Dr Crawford Long performed the first painless surgical operation through the use of an anesthetic March 30 1842. The Vice Pres. in acknowledging the mallet promised to use it during any further discussion in the Senate on the League of Nations in the hope that it might lend its anesthetic properties to such painless operations as the Senate might deem necessary to make upon the body of the League.
