ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS.
DR.. l. Waugaman's New Pro-
cess Of Filling the Teeth.
A NEW AND WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

"There are but few people who have not
experienced the exquisite torture Of the
dentists chair, either under the painful
operation OF having q tooth extracted or
the still more dreaded and tortuous process
of having the teeth filed" said DR.. I. 8.
Waugaman, the wel1-known Penn avenue
dentist. to q reporter yesterday, "and 1t is
easy to account for the wellknown dread
that keeps the people away from the dentist
when they need dental work done in the
worst way.
my experience as a Dentist" continued
DR.. Waugaman, "has been q constant reach
ing out and effort to discover some process
outside Of the well-known and harmful anes-
thetics. such as ether. chloroform, gas etc,
by which teeth could be extracted or pro-
pared and filed without pain, and after
years Of study and experiment, can say
without exaggeration OF fear Of contradfc-
tion, that I have made a most wonderful
discovery, and one destined dtorevolutionizs to
the ordinary operations Of dentistry.
"My new method of preparing tho most
sensitive teeth for filling, without pain, with
perfect safety to the tooth, and to the abso-
Lutte satisfaction of the patient. has the
merit, while giving the most perfect results
Of being perfectly harmless in every way.
While pain cannot exist where 1t Ia used, it
has no detrimental or disagreeable after ef-
fects, and leaves no shattered nerves to
worry and distract the patient.
"As It Is applied directly to the tooth while
the cavity is being prepared. and in several
cases where the most extreme sensfttveness
prevailed, that merely wiping out the cavity
with cotton was much more painful than the
drilling out Of the cavity was whom tho
process was applied, making it entirely pain
less, and where also have extracted the
living nerve from the tooth by this process
without tho patient feeling the slightest
ITO prove that the preparation and I'LL
ing, or the extra citing of teeth by my new
process is absolutely painless, have tried
it on my own teeth and on those Of many
others, and In every case 1t has given per-
feet satisfaction. and in order to demon
to the public. will give a free demonstra-
tion in my dental parlors, s06 Penn avenue,
every Saturday afternoon fromS to4 O'Clock
during the months of July and August.
to which I especially invite all whose teeth
are extra sensitive and cannot stand being
operated upon, and I will guarantee that
they can have their teeth prepared for fill
ing OR extraction without pain and without
cost.
"Another reason why so many nervous
people will endure great deal Of pain and
have them hllad is the thought that when
they once seat themselves in the dentists
chair to have their teeth operated upon,
they must endure all the pain. no matter
how great, that comes from drilling around
the teeth. To overcome this difficulty
have had an attachment fitted to my engine
from winch extends cord that IL held by
the patient, by pulling which the drill is in
stantly stopped If the slightest pain is felt.
1t sometimes happens that while patient
is undergoing long and very tedious opera
tion on the teeth that the effect of the pro-
cess used will gradually wear out and the |
nerves regain their usual sensitiveness while |
the patient is still in the chair, but in all |
such cases the pain that would necessarily
result is felt only for an instant as the |
slightest pnll upon the cord held by the |
sufices to stop the drill at once.
"Thus, you see," continued the doctor, |
II have tried to provide for every possible |
emergency, ana think l have succeeded |
in every respect. 1t is a much greater sat-
tsiaction to me to operate on q PERSONS |
teeth now than 1t was under tho old and |
cruel system, while know the patient ap-
preciates the change much more than / do. |
may say in conclusion that have the sole |
and control of my new process
and that will be the only dentist to use it |
In this city or county. shall use my new
process in all my ordinary practices. SO that
all who call upon me to have their teeth
operated upon or extracted will be sure to
receive the benefit of It aud count most |
upon suffering no pain what
ever."
