Painless Extraction of Teeth.

DIR. A. C. Castle states that he has for
thirty years extracted teeth without pain,
without giving chloroform, ether, or nitrous
oxide gas. One method is the application
of ice to the temples, which is somewhat
distressing, the sensation of cold striking
deeply. The other, to which he gives the
preference, is done by an assistant with
each of his middle fingers, pressing the
points of the fingers with persistent firm
ness and force into the hollow behind the
ridge of the temporal bone, which forms
the external bone circle orbit of the eye
Pressure for one minute is all that is nee
essary, so benumbing the whole nerve as-to
allow the teeth to be removed with sensa-
tion so slight as to be scarcely noticed by
the patient. The practice is as simple as
it is harmless, and leaves no after unpleas-
ant sensation. 1t is an instructive method
often adopted by people themselves, who
press their temples with their fingers to al
leviate temporarily the acute paroxysms of
nervous headache.
