    The first usage was January 1842 by William E. Clarke, not 1846 by W.T.G. Morton, and there was yet another one that March by Crawford W. Long for a tumor removal. Morton was of course still one of the pioneers of ether as an anaesthetic.

      Maybe it’s saying it was the first time Morton had used it?

      Wow. It’s still pretty intense. I had gas (halothane?) as a 6 year old in about 1991 and they took about 10 teeth…a weird minty smell and then echoes. I woke up with a headache and a strange feeling where my teeth were.
