Nav PROCESS OF FzrnAorNa TnarH.-rhe

Baltimore Patriot says:
We yesterday witnessed the trial OF new process
Of extracting teeth BY which it was stated the ope
ration would cause no pain. The tri j was made at
our College of Dental Surgery. and the operators
were Drs. Harris and Arthur. 1t WAS certainly the
most satisfactory trial OF the kind we have ever wit
messed. A number of teeth were extracted. and the
patients declare they received no pain, hut expe
rienced nnmbing sensation about the tooth. This
soothing is produced by passing current Of electr
city through the tooth at the time Of extracting The
patient grasps firmly in his hand one pole from an
electromagnetic machine, the other pole from the
machine Is attached to the sorceps and by this means
current ofelectricity is passed through the tooth
and produces a local anaesthesia. and so avoids the
use OF choroform or ether. The amount of current
is adjusted to suit each patient not to produce
an unpleasant sensation.
