same purpose as paper, the stoppage of
the how OF blood being cansed by the
rspid motion of the jaws, aud the coun-
ter action of the muscles and arteries
connecting the jaw and nose. Physicians
say that placing small roll of paper or
muslin above the front teeth, under the

always better 10 have the wafer tho 4

etter to use rain water in preference to e
