Boston people nowadays have their
superfuous teeth drawn by electricity.
The process is very simple. scarce any
apparatus being required beyond an
ordinary two cell battery with vibrator
attachment. This attachment is a
thin strip of metal fastened at the
ends, which is made to yibrate thou
sand or more times a second by the
electric current. At each vibration the
circuit Is cut off and renewed again, the

"A" Now, TO the battery are attached
three wires. Two of them handles at
the ends, and the third is hitched to a
forceps. The patient in the chair is
given a handle to hold in each hand,
and the current is turned on gradually
until it becomes painful. Then he is
told to grasp the handle as strong as
possible, the electricity-haviug been
switched off for a moments turned
on again suddenly, and the dental sur

People Who Faint.

Women faint much more frequently
than men 10, and young women than
older ones Yet old women do faint,
and a fainting fit is more dangerous
with them than with the others;
and even strong men now and
then succumb to the same weak
ness. OF coures where there is dis
ease of the heart occasioning the
phenomena of fainting it has no respect
of age or sex or person. In cases of
what is known as fatty degeneration OF
the heart, or as a result of profuse
hemorrhage, fainting becomes invested
with great danger, and the event may
even be fatal, the subject never coming
out of the state of syncope. But IN
most instances fainting is q merely
functional affair, implying nothing seri-
GUS beyond the moment; in fact, being
more of a relief than otherwise, and
more injurious-by means of the fright
IT gives them-to others than 1t Is to the
patient-Net0 Orleans Picdyu'le.

circulation of hot water. and is cooled
by ice in a refrigerator underneath the
flooring, when temperature below
that of the outside atmosphere is
required. The heating apparatus,

to light the larger burners when the
