to cut around the tooth

said Dody.
Still! you laundering toad you2 The one

pull any thing you like; ant at all particular

The patient was presently seated once more,
and opening wide his jaws, designated with his
finger the particular tooth he wished to have ex-
tracted.
i see it, said the surgeon, beginning again to
flourish his horse fleam; I'II get the right one
now, if there's any right to it, Then cutting free

the patient charged him anew TO be sure and get

'Out with it, said the man, angrily stammer-

Very well sir said Dody, and he began to
twist once more, but stopping again while the
patient writhed with pain, he enqured the second
time. with singular humanity, il 1t didn't hurt
The patient ungrateful for all his attentions to
his feelings, instead of replying, merely drew
his fist and taking the operator on the side Of his
head, very nearly knocked him down. Then i'm.
itating the language of the student, he asked him
in turn, 'Does that hurt?'
Dody now raised his fist, and was making a
reloinder in some similar terms, but suddenly re
collecting himself, he foTebore to strike, saying
it was in his place 10 cure not to kill, and that il
the patient would allow him to apply the insru-

ty quick.
The patient acquiesced, but swore if he stop

his good-for-nothing numskull for him.
Hmeant il in civil way returned the student
'and had no IDEA you'd be affronted about it.
But III do the job to your liking now. I'll make
the tooth hop like a parched pea; if don't darn
me! With that he applied the instrument, and
giving sudden torcible wrench, out came two
teeth. 'Therc,' said he, wasn't that done slick p
'Oh, you've pulled my head Of exclaimed the
man, springing upon his feet, applying his hand
to his jaws, roaring and raving like mad bull

'WeII that was done plaguy slick wasn't it 2

rage and asonishment, didn't you tell me you
had pulled many a oneP

youth.
yes, you did, said the patient. Then look

prevented him from examining before, he broke
out in new rage-'Confound your awkard soul
you've pulled two teeth instead of onen
'Well, you needn't be so mad about it, re-

'Shan't charge! No, guess you WON'T

Its no loss TO lose rotten tooth thought re.
piled the student, 'and as for the sound one, tha
would have been rotten some time if had'n
pulled it, think it best to mako business of it,
and have good number pulled at once. They
come cheaper in that wayP
'You hadn't ought to ak anything for pulling
