DR.. Mowry, IN eccentric English
physician, had an original method Of
drawing teeth, in which he took such
keen delight that in the absence of
patient with fee for the service, he
would sometimes be his own dentist,
and operate on himself from pure
love of art. The process was this {:
round the tooth to be drawn the doc.
tor fastened securely a strong piece
OF catgut, to the other end OF which
q bullet was attached. A pistol hav.
ing been charged with this bullet and
full measure Of powder, the opera
ton was performed effectually and
speedily. The doctor could rarely
prevail on his friends to let him re-
move their teeth in this singular and
startliugly simple manner. Once n
gentleman who had agreed to make
trial OF the novelty, and had even
allowed the apparatus to be adjusted,
turned craven ut the last moment
Stop stop y he exclaimed. I've
changed my mind But haven't
changed mine, and you're q coward
for changing yours answered the
doctor, and he pulled the trigger, and
ont went the tooth.
