IMPORTANT Discovery IN DENTAL
SuRGERY--Teeth extracted uithout
pain!-We take pleasure in calling
public attention to the new process Of
extracting teeth, which las been practi.
ced with the greatest success. IL has,
for years, been the great desideratum
Of the profession TO alleviate the pain
and suffering of its necessary and impor-
tant operations Many patients suffer
far more from dread Of pain than from
actual experience; and any reliable
method, freeing from pain. should be re.
gerded n public benefit. The process.
which is the result Of long study. is
known as Ccngelation and consists Of
the local application Of a benumbing a.
gent to the parts to be operated upon.
The application arrests the circulation.
and just in proportion as this is effected.
is the pain diminished and while it is
amply efficient for all cases, it is open to
none Of the objections urged against 9TH
er methods. We have seen letters from
a large number Of persons who have had
from ono to eighteen teeth extracted by
this new process, and all speak of it in
the highest terms Of commentator. All
interested in this important discovery in
the dental art, we would recommend to
call at the office of Drs. Cummings &
Flagg, 25 fremont street. who will take
great pleasure in explaining the opera
ton. These %enterprising gentlemen are
noted for the speedy adoption of every
useful improvement calculated to lessen
the pain and increasc the comfort of
their numerous patients, and we are glad
to know they are meeting with that suc-
cess they so richly merit Boston Jou,-
