that conduct the sensation Of pain TO
the brain arc nearest the surface, and
the demanding effect produced by the
electric current upon the sentient
nerves dtssipates the pain, with which
all are familiar. In short, the current
IS 80 much more rapid than she nerve
action, that the vibrator becomes, for
the time being, the carriage OF the pain,
so 20 speak, and carries IL of. The pa
tient takes his place in the operating
chair, grasps an electrode in each hand,
the forceps are charged, and almost be-

the verdict Of those who have ,ried it.

When told that the job was done he
vowed that be was ignorant of the fact,
and manifested his delight in antics
that partook more of the appearance of
a song and dance man than one who, as
he said, had for days endured all the
agonies Of victim of the inquisition.
As rule, however, patients are
weighed down with anxiety and appre-
hension, and only realize the absence Of
cause therefor when the tooth is drawn.
And in this particular 1t may be said
men thus afflicted outnumber the oppo-
site sex. While visiting the rooms re-
Gently reporter witnessed an old lady
waiting her turn in a state Of apparent
mental disquietude difficult 20 des-
cribe. Finally she was called to
the chair, the current was started,
and IN second the dentist
in charge removed the -ause of her dis
tress. She seemed scarcely conscious
OF the success he had achieved, and
when shown the tooth declared she felt
but slight twinge, and could hardly
believe the tooth grasped in the forceps
had once belonged to her. These are
instances, taken hap-hazaTd, OF the
utility and effectiveness of she new dis
pensation. bat others have been re-
marked, for from twenty 70 thirty day
is the average that are now having
recourse to the instrument as panacea
for the chiefest i'll which teeth are heir
TO.
When first introduced In Peoria there
arc said 20 have been nearly ono thou
sand teeth. prongs, stumps and inhrm
relics removed by this process IN one
week, and that the daily average was
from seventy-hve to one hundred. An
opportunity 20 test its pain-kiiling
power was offered the reporter, but be
declined With thanks. Notwithstanding
that no charge would have been made
for tho services rendered.
II the claims made in its behalf are
borne out By tho facts may il not be
that In the near future parties will be
made up % enjoy the experience OF
tooth drawing without pain?
