Too-r n Ryan observes hat the al•plication of pure
nitric acid to a carious tooth roduces almost immediate relief
of toothache and faceache, without producing the slightest pain.
The aci!l must be applied to every part of the decayed surface,
and care taken not to suffer it to touch the gum, cheek, lips, or
apparel. The mouth should be washed alter the applicatiofi
with tepid water. It is much casiet to touch the tooth in the
lower than in the upper jaw; and I have never known a single
instance in 'which the acid was fairly tried, and completely applied
to the decayed surface, without, procuring almost immediate re-
lief, and without any pain. When the upper teeth are diseased, it
is very difficult: to touch the nerve in a small opening, and this is
the cause of failure. The remedy may he employed, however
del:. ate the patient, even to children and pregnant women.—
