want it extracted she only wanted it ex-
amined. The student told her to take seat,

did not want the tooth pulled. She was
very nervous, and young Mr. Baab had just
put his finger on the tooth. when IL gave

He ierked it away, and the skin was seen
to be broken. The young woman was very
sorry. She said her tooth was better and
went away. The Slight wound healed
