In Episode 390 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the story of Dr. Horace Wells of Hartford, Connecticut, a dentist who attended a nitrous oxide expedition in 1844. Though the performance was a laughing matter, Dr. Wells took what he saw seriously. He was inspired to try using the gas in his dental practice. Though he sought fame and fortune, Wells spiraled downward into darkness.
