A history of nitrous oxide and oxygen anaesthesia IVD: Henry Hill Hickman in his time

Br J Anaesth. 1978 Jun;50(6):623-7. doi: 10.1093/bja/50.6.623.

Abstract

Fresh evidence of Hickman in Ludlow is recorded: an advertisement for an apprentice and an annotation in the Shrewsbury Chronicle relate to his private museum. This and his household goods were auctioned in 1824. That he may have been inspired by Benjamin Collins Brodie is considered.
