Excerpt from The Discovery of Anaesthesia

He further said that he presumed that he (dr. Wilhite) was the first person who had ever profoundly etherized any one - and it was under these circumstances. Dr. Wilhite says that from the time he was ten years old he was familiar with the use of ether by inhalation as an excitant; that the boys and girls in his neighborhood near Athens, Georgia, were in the constant habit of using it; that there was hardly ever a gathering of young people that did not wind up with an ether frolic. Old fashioned quiltings were very common in his day and time.
