EXTRACTION OF TEETH BY ELECTRIcITY-
Mr. George The Paris dentist, ha, lately sent "a
letter to the Academy of Medicine, IN winch he
communicates that he has tried the Invention
with much success that he cannot give posi-
tive opinion on the manner III which electricity
acts on the teeth, but believes that success ma Y
be generally obtained by it when the tooth Is
easily to be taken hold OF by the torceps, he hav-
ing generally found thai IN cases of inflammation
Of the gums, swelIed face, abcrsses, &c, the
pain is often rather aggravated than diminished
by the manner of operating. Mr.. George then
states that he has arranged the electric ma.
chine uader hIs operating char, with brass
plate on the left elbow OF the char to replace
the usual handle. a tube is fastened to the
back Of the char to regulate the tlnId. so as TO
give the force ncccssagy, which he measures
by placing the tOrcrpsNm the hands "t tle pa
tIent, and gradually increasing the force while
it can be borne without any unpleasant sensa-
ton. He then seizes the tooth, requesting the
patient to place his hand on the brass pate ;
the current flies to the tooth simultaneously
with the extraction. and by this system the
shock is entirely cbvlated.
