Kow NoT TO DO TT,
AND
THE REASON WHY.

lady called at our Office yesterday, who
told us she had taken the gas four different
times, and had succeeded in getting but two
teeth extracted. She had nine more she
wished out, and after being assured that with
our experience in the use of the gas, we should
probably be able to remove them all at one
sitting, she sat down, inhaled the gas, and
woke up as we'll as ever, with her nine teeth
lying on the table. Another lady called
to-day; said she had taken the gas and it
made her very sick. We administered 1t
twice, and removed quite number Of teeth,
and she soon left the Office, saying she felt as
well as when she came in.
young man said he had tried the gas; but
he felt the pain as sensibly as if he had taken
nothing. We removed his tooth without his
knowledge or the slightest pain.
These examples are but counterparts of the
experiences which we have every day.
The gas is an excellent an@sthetic, and
perfectly harmless in skilful hands; but when
used by the ignorant and inexperienced, it is,
as many people say, "a humbug" The same
remark might be made of many medicines, or
even of the food we eat; if taken in improper
quantities, or at improper times, they often
prove injurious.

Pat on Tooth Pulling.

A son of the Emerald Isle called at the
Cotton Dental Association recently, when the
following dialogue ensued:--
Pat. Are yes the gintlemen / hearn tell on
that pulls poor mans tooth without payin'?
Or. Certainly; entirely without pain.
Pat. And won't feel it, naither?
DR.. No, you won't feel it.
Pat. Won't l be dead when wake up,
naither?
DR.. 1t won't harm you at all.
Pat And yes has no payin' at all?
DR.. Not any pain at all.
Pat. Och by the powers, yes are the most
ginerous and wondrous peoples 1 has iver
known since st. Patrick left the earth! and he
niver pretended to do the likes of this,
naither.
DR.. Do you want tooth extracted?
Pat. No, yer honor, want it pulled. I've
been cryin' bloody murther the whole night
long, and Biddy has been burnin' me jaw with
hot fat iron, till me landlord come in for
the rint, and tould me yes would pull it out
without psyin'.
Pat was soon seated in the chair, when his
tooth was pulled, as he called it.
When he awoke he declared he had been to
Old Ireland, and saw Jerry OLeary, who
treated him to whisky and buttermilk to his
hearts content, besides going to three wakes
and funerals, and he was just going to fight
Jerry OGonagle, to make the occasion re-
spectacle, when the doctor woke him up
"Och bedad," said he, ''two gallons of
whisky, to say nothing of the buttermilk and
funeral! Me tooth gone too, and all without
payin' All! doctor, its more than me CINE
rous nature can stand. Here's couple of
geenbacks for yes, and I'll be givin' yes
some more when me pig is killed; and may
the Blessed Virgin spare yes life as long as

OUR EXTRACTORS.

Our extracters are all practical Dentists.
The propriety of the removal of tooth is
always decided by them, and their relation to
the Association is such that they have no
motive in extracting single tooth that could
be saved by filing By devoting their whole
attention to extracting, they acquire dex-
terity and skill in removing the most difficult
roots and teeth that are really surprising. DR..
F. Hasbrouck, the operator at this Office, is
pioneer in the use of gas, being one of our
first operators in New York city. His long
experience in this business has rendered him
one of the best operators in the country. DR..
Cotton manufactures and administers the gas
to his patients.

The Editors Of the Bulletin, TELEoRArn,
Mercury, Franklin Repository, BassiasorS
american, and many others, have tested the
operation of the gas personally, and given us
some very handsome testimonials. For short
surgical operations, as we'll as for the extrac-
ton of teeth, the testimony is conclusive that
there is nothing that will compare with tho
Nitrous Oxide as safe and sure anesthetie.
Sickness and nausea, SO common with
chlOroform and ether, are entirely avoided,
the patient awaking in a minute on two as
from natural sleep

Important Notice.

Formerly, when the use of our preparation
was an experiment, we published the names
of a few well-known persons who had expe-
rienced its advantages as an an@sthetic agent
at our Office, to convice the public of the
entire harmlessness of the gas when pure and
properly administered.
Many of these names were published at the
suggestion of the patients themselves. They
were so delighted to have found way of
escape from the old style torture of tooth
drawing, that they felt it their duty to the
public to let the facts be known.
But as there is no longer any necessity for
such course we shall publish no names in
the future. Our scroll of Fifteen Thousand
names can be seen at the office, and we con-
slider that Sufficient evidence.
Moreover, our patients themselves are con-
tinually doing us the favor to tell every
DQdu ulb anu tllC law CLlat NO aLlC
doing larger business at present than eoer
before at this season of the year, is the best
proof not only that we endeavor to do our
work in the best possible manner, but that
the public appreciate our endeavors.
N. B. We do no other dental 9cerk, neither
is any such work done in our Office or build
ing, Notwithstanding the fact that another
party claims to be ''the only one in the city
where the other Branches of Dentistry are
entirely eTcIIded."
The names of patients from every State
and Territory in the Union are represented
upon our scroll.

Sir Humphrey Davy, the great philosopher,
made the following remarkable anticipation:
Nitrous Oxide may some day be used as
pain-destroying agent for surgical opera
TONS"
DIR. Wells, of Hartford, in 1874, besides
having tooth extracted himself, extracted
others for different individuals, but failed to
secure uniform results, and became discour-
aged with it.
DIR. Cotton, who was identified with DIR.
Wells in his first experiments with the gas, in
1868 determined to demonstrate the value of
this agent as an anesthetic.
Finding it to answer every expectation, he
established the Cotton Dental Association in
New York in July, 1868.
In October, 1866, he established Branch
Office in Philadelphia, No. 737 Walnut street,
below Eighth, since which time he has ad-
ministered the gas for the extraction of teeth
to fifteen thousand persons in this Office alone,
and in his various offices to more than one
hundred thousand persons, without failure
or accident.

A CORRECTION OF FALSE REpREsEN
TATIONS.

In November, 1863, former employe Of
our Association opened an Office near by us,
and hung out sign with the words
"CoLToN DENTAL ROOMS
In large letters upon it. Judge Allison granted
an injunction restraining him from using such
a sign, upon the ground that il was "ijste,scSed
TO decei0e tie public"
Subsequently circular was distributed
throughout the city intended to convey the
impression
!. That DR.. G. Q. Cotton did not introduce
the Nitrous Oxide Gas as an anasthetic agent
in Dentistry.
q That he did not establish branch Office
in Philadelphia.
3. That he has not had any connection with
the Association doing business under that
name at 1877 Walnut street.
4. That "dnOther party, and not DIR. Col
ton, has had charge of this Office, and
5. That he, and not DR.. Cotton, was the
principal person represented at that establish
ment.
All the above representations are false. DIR.
G. Q. Cotton has now and always has had an
interest in this Association DR.. j, J. Cotton
Ga nephew, College Graduate, for 8 years
Teacher of Chemistry, and Graduate of
the Medical Department of the University of
Pennsylvania, was placed in charge of this
Office when first established in October, 1866,
and still has the entire charge.
AS regards the introduction of the Nitrous
Oxide Gas in Dentistry, if DR.. Cotton is not
that person, who is the individual?
1t had certainly not been used for 20 years,
and then only enough to prove it's impractical
bility, when DR.. Cotton, by his persistent eff
forts, and against the most violent opposi-
ton, proved its entire safety, and made it q
success. This same man now advertises him
self as our 'tLate Operator" He has also,
for months past, claimed to be the only one
in Philadelphia who makes speciality of the
use of the Gas for extracting Teeth, intend
ing thereby to prejudice the Dental profes-
sion against us.
We have nothing to say 6erogatory to his
character, any further than to correct these
false representations con veyed to the public
by his advertisements.
We know that whatever reputation he has
acquired in Philadelphia was obtained at our
office and through our instrumentatty, and
the ordinary courtesy of society ought, at
least, to have prevented him from using such
decepttOms as were intended to S,,jaSre us.
OUR WHOLE ATTENTION
Is at present, as it has been for the past 4
years, devoted exclusively to the use of Nj
TROUS OXIDE GAS, for the PAINLESS
EXTRACTION OF TEETH, and we perform
such operations not only without pain, but
with greater care and success than ever be-
fore.
Respectfully, JOHN J. COTTON.
N. b. No other Dental work done at our
office, OF in our building.

a Great Result.

We ask the attention OF the public TO the fol-
lowing brief statement of facts:-It 10 we'll
known that in June, 1868, DR.. Cotton introduced
the nitrous oxide, or Laughing gas" for the
painless extraction of teeth, and established the
Cotton Dental Association. On the 4th of Feb
yaary following QS64) we commenced TO ask
cur patients to sign scroll, certifying that the
Eas was pleasant to inhale, and that we had
drawn their teeth without pain. (Our scroll was
opened in Philadelphia, October H. 1859 That
we might know the exact number who should
sign this paper, we numbered every name on
the margin When we had reached one thou
sand $1,000, and without an accident, we thought
1t great triumph. WE HAVE THIS DAY, DE-
CEMBER 4, 1869, REACHED THE NUMBER
OF FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND (55, 5,000) PA
TENTS! AND WE HAVE NEVER YET HAD ONE
ACCIDENT WITH THE GAS! Can any stronger
proof be presented that the gas is q SAFE anes-
thetic, and that we know how to use it? Here
are FIFTY-FIVE FULL REGIMENTS of pa
tients, and if they were marching in single file,
allowing three feet for each, the line would be
MORE THAN 3114 MILES LONG! We make
the gas every day, and. for the past two years,
have used from two to three hundred gallons per
day. large part of our business comes from
the leading dentists of tue city 1--WE do nothing
DOL eXIract teetn) VINO know tnat by long ana
constant practice we have acquired great skill
in the business. Skill perfected by practice
overcomes almost all difficulties. To most per-
sons the gas produces very pleasant sensations,
while to FEW it is pleasure to have teeth ex-
Iracted by it. We PREFER to give the gas to
healthy people, but have given it to hundreds
suffering from all sorts of disease, and with no
i'll effects. We can ordinarily draw from ten to
fifteen and sometimes twenty teeth or stumps
with one dose of gas. THE SAFETY OF THE PA
TIENT is the first consideration, the next is to
extract the teeth carefully, and not injure the
gums or alveoar process We strive TO do the
work IN the very best manner. Price, So for

For if you go spluttering over page,
When couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread so much, you see

SO when you have story to tell
And would like little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend

When writing an article for the press
Whether prote or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the fewest words,

And when it is finished, and you suppose

This city contains nearly million of peo-
pie, all of whom at one time or other must
have teeth drawn. With most this is far more
than directly painful-it causes weeks and
months of apprehension, of delay, of suffering
from toothache. The fear of the pain to be
caused by the extraction of one tooth often
leads to the loss of dozen or more. The
patient is afraid to go, and therefore ao05tS,
using in the meantime palliatives. His breath
becomes foul, he is constant nuisance to all
