In comparison with our American
contfivances for mending and extracting
teeth the French methods seem rude
and unscientifc. Thus we read of q
Partisan who had long been suffering
from toothache, but obstinately refused
to 70 to dentist, and at length, finding
the pain uncomfortable, took the following
uncommon method of extracting: To
the tooth he attached long string and
to the string heavy stone; thus armed
he proceeded to the t0pmost story of the
house he occupied, opened the window
and hurled the stone into the air. The
weight OF the stone and the length of
the string produced 80 violent shock
that not only was the tooth pulled out,
but with it q portion of the jaw, his
neck being 20 painfully twisted that he
tainted. Hours ensued ere conscious
ness returned. and when he recovered his
senses it was only to find himself de-
prived of the faculty of speech. It may
be proper to add that this gentleman Is
styled "half. witted" by the newspaper
recording his adventure, bat we have
always heard that they knew nothing of
the art of dentistry in France, and have
little doubt that "they all do it" in
something like this primitive manner.
Sometimes they reverse the operation,
We understand, by fastening the loose
end of the cord to rsfter and jumping
out of the window themselves far
better arrangement, as the strain on the
tooth il then upwards and there is very
go0d chance Of the tooth's coming out
instead of the Jaw. There il one rather
serious drawback to this latter expedi-
ent, however, which prevents its moro
general employment, which is that the
patient is apt to lose his life in the oper.

must BE- pronounced BY upprejudiced

The PaN MaN Gazette says: "A Ger
man physician has started new theory
with regard to food. He maintains that
both the vegetarians and meat-eaters are
on the wrong tack. Vegetables are not
vegetables, and nothing is gained by con-
suming compound Of both. Whatever
nutritive qualities they may possess, he
says, are destroyed in great measur s
and often entirely by the process of cook
ing. All food should be eaten raw.
If this practice were adopted, there
would be little or no illness among human
beings. They would live their appor-
toned time and simply fade away, like
animals in a wild state, from old age.
Let those afflicted with gout, rhematism
and indigestion try for time the effect
of simple uncooked diet, such as oys-
ters and fruit for instance, and they will
find all medicines unnecessary, and such
q rapid improvement of their health that
they will forswear all cooked articles of
food at once and forever. Intemperance
would also, it is urged, no longer be the
curse of civilized communities. The
yearning for drink is caused by the un-
natural abstraction from what are term
ed solids of the aqueous elements they
contain-uncooked beef, for example,
containing from seventy to eighty per
cent. and some vegetables even larger
proportion of water. There would be
less thirst, and consequently less desire
to drink. if our food were consumed in
its natural state, without first being sub.
jected to the action of fire. Clothing,
our adviser also thinks, is q mistake, but
he admits that the world is not yet fal
enough advanced in civilization to &c
about undressed. Whatever differences
of opinion may exist a. to this antiscook'
ing theory, there cannot be doubt that
in getting rid of the kichen with all it,
abuses, including the cook, housekeeperl
would be spared vast amount of worry
and probably on this account alone
would live to greater age than al
present"
