Ether is a great cooling solvent. When we apply ether on our body, it evaporates quickly and makes the body part extremely cool. This coolness makes the cells, at that particular part, a bit unconscious. This reduces the feeling of pain. As cells become inactive, we do not feel pain. So, surgeon applies ether before making any minor cut or even giving an injection.

Heyaa folk,

Ether -- Molecular formula : (C2H5)2O.
Scientific name -- Diethyl ether.
Ether is a cool substance. It reduces the pain on the skin. It sluggishes the skin for a short period. As it is a liquid solvent, it evaporates after some time. Hence, If there's a minor cut for surgeries, the surgen spreads ether on skin.
