Stated in paragraph concerning " Cota ans Cham

Spf life, was "gamber.'' This we are satisfied,
Efs incorrect. The error arose from inadvertently
Ehssocating with that of MIR. Felch, the character
gpf person who figured in politics about the same
fime, on the same theatre, and whose career was, in
many respects, similar. We do not hesitate to
}sate, that Mr. Felch's moral character, previous to

New suReIcAL opEnAr1oN.-There is

NEW SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-There is
in the middle of each tooth, as every anat-
omist knows, a little cavity, in which the
fine branches of nerves, passing through
the roots of the teeth, are expanded. The
expansion of nervous matter is the seat Of
sensation in the teeth and when, by ca
ries or decay of the enamel, it is exposed
to the influence of external agencies. the,
patient is generally obliged on account of
the violence Of the PAIN to have the whole
tooth pulled out. An ingenious surgeon
from America, lately settled in London,
has satisfactorily shown that the diseased
part Of the tooth, including the cavity a.
boye described, may be cut off with the
greatest ease and CELEBRITY, and that the
sound root or roots may be allowed to re-
main in their sockets. This mode Of pro-
cedure has been shown and explained to
the most scientific surgeons of this town,
who have without exception expressed their
conviction Gifts utility. The operation has
been performed on more than 200 members
of the profession, and they have invariably
declared that it occasioned no pain, and
that itcould scarcely be felt: as their own
certificates show. The instruments used
for this purpose are very simple they are
a few plain forceps,right angled and straight
with cutting edges, likesthe common sur
gical bone forceps, but those edges are
made accurately to fit the necks of the
teeth, and only the necks SO that, how
ever decayed a tooth may be, the forceps
may be safely and easily applied withou,
any risk OF breaking the tooth. Having
been thus carefully applied on the neck O
atooth, the edges Of the forceps should b.
held parallel to the edge of the gum, ant
should be made to press it down little, il
order to ret at the neck about line below
the usual height Of the gum the handles o
the fOrceps are then pressed gradually bu
firmly together, and in moment the upper
part Of the tooth snaps off, including the
