Example of a Nooth apparatus
  • ... that the Nooth apparatus (example pictured), originally invented to produce carbonated water, was later repurposed for administering anaesthetic drugs? Sources: Zuck, 1978: "The two earliest inhalers devised for the administration of ether anaesthesia in the U.K. (Hooper's and Squire's apparatus) both incorporated the bottom part of a Nooth's apparatus... his apparatus was one of the very first to be designed to produce, for medicinal purposes, what may inclusively be called carbonated waters"; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "A modified form of Nooth's apparatus was used in December 1846 to administer the ether in the first-known employment of a general anaesthetic in a surgical operation"
