In 1762, Louis-Antoine Marquis de Caraccioli (1719-1803), a prolific writer of the eighteenth century, dedicated a book to a psychological theme that medicine has forgotten: '' in French, which we will translate as 'cheerfulness'. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, this work inspired two doctoral theses in medicine, one defended in Montpellier, the other in Paris. In their texts, Louis Monferran (1785-?) and Vincent Rémi Giganon (1794-1857) explored the therapeutic benefits of the medical prescription of cheerfulness. In addition to lifestyle recommendations, they focused on the psychotropic substances available to them: alcohol, coca, hemp and opiates. In an original and novel way, Giganon introduced and recommended '', or inhaled nitrous oxide gas.
1762 年，高产的 18 世纪作家路易斯-安东尼·马奎斯·德·卡雷奥利（1719-1803 年）专门写了一本书，探讨了医学已经遗忘的一个心理学主题：“cheerfulness”。在 19 世纪初，这项工作启发了两篇医学博士论文，一篇在蒙彼利埃，另一篇在巴黎。在他们的论文中，路易斯·蒙费兰（1785-？）和文森特·雷米·吉加农（1794-1857 年）探讨了愉快情绪的医学处方的治疗益处。除了生活方式建议外，他们还关注他们可获得的精神药物：酒精、古柯、大麻和鸦片。吉加农以一种新颖独特的方式引入并推荐了“吸入一氧化二氮气体”。
