ANESTHETICS.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, March 20, 1871 am glad
to see in your paper this morning some
comment upon the death in a dental Office
in New York few days ago from nitrous
acid,or laughing gas, as it is commonly call
ed. | have long since given il up,believing
too much risk for the little benefit resulting
from its use in my profession, dentistry.
The New York Tribune deserves credit for
hunting up and publishing sta
tistics in regard TO the use of an8sthetics.
The number of fatal and injurious results
might have been very much enlarged if de-
sired, but sufficient has been given to
warn the people against taking any anBs-
thetic for minor surgical operations, espe-
cially extracting teeth. l have always
doubted the propriety of educating the peO-
pie to demand of dental practitioners the
administration of any anRsthetic, and as
time passes along leaving its truthful i'm
press upon everything, am becoming fixed
in my opposition to it. From the statistics
given by the Tribune, We see more fatal
results from the administration of chloro-
form than any other an9sthetic. While
that may be true, | am satisfied
the injurious results from gas are far more
numerous than the people are aware of.
There is no doubt but it has crazed the
minds Of many persons, some of whom are
in asylums to-day. If l should choose be-
tween the two would as soon take chloro-
form.
am glad to see some of our leading
dentists coming out in condemnation of gas,
as well as other anesthetics. Prof Cutler,
of the New Orleans Dental College, says in
an article published in the american Jour
nal of Dental Science: "Nitrous oxide gas
is a great humtug, one of the great
est evils. So far as dentistry is con-
cerned, multiplied thousands of
teeth are sacrificed annually that might
be saved but for its USE" Prof Watts
says: "When we take into consideration
that it requires as much science and skill to
make pure nitrous oxide gas as chlorofOrm,
and that every dentist that gives it manu-
features his own gas, regardless of his
chemical science and skill, the wonder is
that more people are not killed than are"
My opinion is, its injurious effects upon the
minds of those who survive its inhalation
are more to be feared than death, nObWith-
standing it does kill DR.. John Allen, one
of the oldest and most reliable dentists in
New York, says he always tells his patrons
when they call upon him for an anesthetic,
the risk is too much for so little. l hope
the time is not far distant when all dentists
will say the same. 5. j. COBB.

UNION AND AMERICAN.


hear in the thickets the brooklet's fall;
A thrush on the lilac spray
Singsas OF old the vesper song
OF tie slowly waning day;
And the Fragrance comes down from the chest
nut trees
In the meadow where the daisies blow,
As It came when the tender twilight came,
In the springs Of long ago.
Far over the dark and shadowy woods
Comes floating the church-bell's chime,
And wander and dream in the fading light,
As l dreamed in the Olden time,
When l fingered under the chestnut bOUghs
Till hushed was the birds sweet strain,
And the shimmering light of the m0Onbeams
fell
On the leaves like a silver rain.
But never again shall wait and watch,
In the hush Of the sweet spring night,
For a step in the depth OF the rustling cOpse,
And the CLEAN Of a garment white
And never again meath the dew-gemmed flow
eTs,
Shall linger my love and !,
When the tremulOus stars through the feecy
bars
Look out in the western sky.
Yet Joy which is nameless and strangely sad,
ThrObs in my hearts deep core,
As the sweet, sweet love Of the days long fed
Is thrilled into life once mere.
o dear was TO the heart that is cold
And her love O'ershaGOws me still;
And the stars shine down on her grave tonight
In the lone churchyaTd on the hill.

there are only about sixty Of them, and

members say they enjoy giving as much as
they do praying. They do agreat deal of both,
and, as a result, they have conversions and

this church is beyond all praise, and worthy

For the Hickman cnrriar


Aessrs. Committee As you have
been pretty ha,d on the whisky sellers"
for pursuing an avoeation, which Is
recognized and upheld by the laws Of
the land, and have generously offered q
place in your department of the paper.
for those who. desire to present the other
side Of the question, wish to call your
attention to some of the acts which the
law condemns and Furnishes, aud " hen
you have the law enforced as il now
stands on our statute books, you can
then turn your batteries on the law as
you would have it.
BY reference to Vol. 1st of Revised
Statutes, page 400, drunkenness is made
an offence, and the guilty party is liable
to a fine of FIVE shilings for each offence,
and by the City of Hickman ordinance,
art. 3. sec. IL, the penalty is fixed at not
less than one dollar nor more than twsn
ty-fve. Sec $50 Of the criminal code
makes it the duty of all peace officers to
arrest drunken persons and carry them
before magistrate to be dealt with &C
eording to law, and in sec. 392 it is pro
vided that if he be arrested in the night
time, he shall be kept in confinement till
morning. The code in sec. % says that
sherifs, constables, jailers and marshals
are peace officers, and in sec. % makes it
the duty of magistrates to issue a war
rant, when from his own personal knowl-
edge, or from the information of others
there shall be reasonable grounds to be-
heve public offence has been committed
Now Mr.. Committee if your object is
to stop drunkenness, and it is such a
great curse and evil as you say it is, why
don't you 60 to work in straightforward.
legal and business like way to punish
drunkenness, and let us alone who do
nothing but what the law licenses, up
holds and says is right. You have your
County Judge and City Judge whose
courts are always open for the trial Of
drnnkards, you have a sheriff, marshal,
constable and jailor within your limits,
TO arrest drunken men, and have them
tried, surely with two courts always
open, and four officers to wait on your
couris, you might put down "this awful
curse" in your little country village,
"dubbed city"
1t is the sioorn duty of your County
and City Judge, to issue warrant for
every man they may see drunk, as it is
also, the sworn duty of your sheriff, mar
shall, constable and jailor to arrest all
persons drunk that they be tried and
dealt with according to law, and it ap-
pears to me that if these six officers,
whose offices and places of business is
upon the most public part of town,
would but half do their duty, your clam
or would cease, and l respectfully ask
that your wrath be held in allegiance a:
to law abiding man, until you have pun
ished the law breaker, as an act of sheer
JUSTICE.
