INGENIOUS TOOTH PULLER.-Dr. J. C. Burch of
Evansville Indiana, has invented of the most in
genous and effective instruments for pulling teeth
stumps that we have seen, and we believe that
it is the best for the purpose in USE The cause
which brought into energy the faculty to make this
instrument was the great number of decayed teeth
which he had been called upon to extract teeth of
which nothing was left but the stumps. He found
great difficulty with the old instruments to root out
such troublesome old friends although very ill-iked
ones, and he had recourse to his head to contrive
something to meet the casefor doctors and lawyers
have their cases. and very serious ones too, some
| times
The new instrument has neat small pad form
ing one side of the jaw, while the other is of the
hook bill FORM like the old kind, and has lateral
motion. The shoulder and lever handle of the hook
jaw has joint in it which is operated by an inside
spring, so that when the two handles are brought
together like those of pair of pincers the joint spo
ken of throws the hook jaw into and grasps the tooth
at once while the cushion is made to rest on the jaw
and gives firm fulcrum for action. The operator
jerks the decayed rascal tooth from it's seat with the
utmost case. The Doctor has found the instrument
to operate beyond his expectations 1t is trouble
either to patients or the operator--we mean the
drawing of bad teeth,--Scientifc american.
Gen. Houston, it is said, is about to retire perma
