EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in the history of medicine. The print depicts Horace Wells, an American dentist, conducting a tooth extraction in front of his students in 1844. This groundbreaking event took place at the Boston Hospital and showcased Wells' pioneering use of nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, to anesthetize his patients. The image is part of a collection titled "Les Merveilles de la Science" (The Wonders of Science) by Louis Figuier, published in France in 1868.

In this scene, we see Wells confidently performing the procedure while surrounded by attentive students eager to learn from their esteemed mentor. The engraving beautifully captures the atmosphere of scientific discovery and innovation that characterized this era. Wells' contribution to medical science cannot be overstated.
