SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Truckee Republican (Nevada County, CA) dated Feb 23, 1874. This newspaper contains an inside page article headlined: "LAUGHING GAS". It previews an upcoming lecture in Truckee, CA on the dental and medical uses of Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas") for General anesthesia.
Very early TRUCKEE, California newspaper with LOCAL Truckee news and ads from nearly 150 years ago (In addition to the Nitrous Oxide report).
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or nitrous, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N2O. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas, with a slight metallic scent and taste. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.
Nitrous oxide has significant medical uses, especially in surgery and dentistry, for its anaesthetic and pain reducing effects. Its name "laughing gas", coined by Humphry Davy, is due to the euphoric effects upon inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic.
