The Greatest Discovery OF


That Teeth can be extracted with
without the aid Of Eather or Chlorifofnl
other agency Of the kind that produces
ciousness, but by the simple application
to the part around the Tooth to be reri0Ved.
DR.. LEWIS, has at great expense prOcffed q
Instrument called the Local Anasthesia, ihven-'"
ted and patented by Dr. Branch, Of Galena,
Ill. l publish the following, being circular
letter issued by DR.. Branch, to which are at
tached nine or ten certificates Of respectable
Dentists and Physicians;
"DEAR SIR--1 send you this to answer the.
inquiries which correspondents are constarel
making concerning my Instrumentand
for the production Of Local Insensbil
pain during Dental and Surgical operationS-]
These questions are, LIST, is it efficient to thisS
| answer that in extracting Teeth it does AFFECT
it so perfectly that in large majority of cases
the operation is entirely painless, and in all
cases it SO mitigates the suffering as to render
it comparatively trifing matter. Second
query isis it harmless2 1t is absolutely 80
have used it in hundreds Of instances, and
other Dentists, some Of whose names are atA
tached to this, have done the same 9TH no ~
consequences. No pain follows the eEpe1ae
as is common when the operation is perfo
! without its use and the gums appear To- heS
with less inflammation and swelling than F>orGS
dinary cases without it, Third-how much
time is consumed in producing the effect2
+ answer, from to minutes after the appIica-
4 ton is made; the affect is confined to the i'm
mediate vicinity of the operation, producing
no mental or constitutional results.

Extraction OfTeeth.
From the persons employed, and the instru-
| "a avid ~ L., &c
i a tooth was formerly considered an unmpor-
q tant operation. The blacksmith, barber, butch
- er and physician, with formidable turnkeys and
T." huge ''nippers," were the acknowledged
e knights of she toothache," and their titles de-
i rived from roysI extraction; they whired out
l. the offending organs in true 'Cant hook" style
O No wonder, then, that this operation exctes
= stronger feelings of dread, and is submitted to
Z with greater reluctance than any other. Many
endure, for months, all the untold tortures Of
10 toothache through dread Of mangled gums and
h broken Jaws their fears excited to the highest
pitch by the daily accidents resulting from in
u appropriate instruments, in the hands Of the
sS ignorant and unskilled. Ii is scarcely neces-
l. sary TO say, that " ith suitable instruments, In
a. skilful hands, the operation is always safe, and
seldom very severe. 1t is matter Of surprise
= that so important an operation was, for years,
re and in many cases still Isl entrusted to hands SO
ng unskillful, And the fact ofphyscians and sur.
I'D geons attempting it with such instruments
proves the necessity of making dental surgery
separate and distinct profession. Thejs
minds are so thoroughly preoccupied by otht
operations that they csnnOt give this one du'
Ie- atteRtiOn.
Those who have hitherto dreaded the
