The house where Simpson first experimented with chloroform in 1847 by inhaling it along with friends after dinner and remaining unconscious until the following morning. He was probably not, however, the first doctor to send his friends to sleep after a dinner party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Young_Simpson The house is now a training centre for qualifications in counselling children and young people.
