Ax amusing exhibition of the effects of laughing gas upon the human system took place at a free entertainment given by Dr Carr, at the Academy of Music, Grahamstown. Several gentlemen, well-known at the Thames, were induced to inhale the gas, the effect of which was to develop in a remarkable manner the idiosyncracies of those subjected to its influence.

The scene was intensely absurd.
