Some comments: 1. Wood did not invent the syringe. He used the syringe made by Mr Ferguson of Giltspur Street, London. (Wood, A. A new method of treating neuralgia by subcutaneous injection’, Ed Medical & Surgical Journal (1855))

2. Brunton, D. (2000) is available online at http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/vol30_4.1_12.pdf Should be linked 3. Kane, H.H. published Hypdermic injection of morphia.. in New York in 1880
