Alexander Graham Bell's notebook entry of March 10, 1876, describes the first 
successful experiment with the telephone, during which he spoke through the 
instrument to his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, in the next room. Bell writes, 
I then shouted into M [the mouthpiece] the following sentence: 'Mr. 
Watson--come here--I want to see you.' To my delight he came and declared 
that he had heard and understood what I said.

The occasion was that Bell had spilled some battery acid on himself and
wanted Watson to help him neutralize it and wash it off.
