by the mere touch of pedal that
one could almost imagine Z" 'twere a
living thing'' On the left arm OF the
chair is fixed beautiful fountain cuspi
doir which plays continuously. To the
right stands the once much dreaded drill,
the break of which is placed in the hands
OF the patient, who has entire control
over the engine and upon the slightest
indication of pain can stop the whole
machine. The wonderful electrical ap-
planes by which the engine is worked
are of the latest and best manufacture,
and the scrupulous neatness and cleanli-
ness of everything connected with the
Doctors parlors struck me as being some
what out of the ordinary.
The young lady in attendance showed
me stacks of white linen which she uses
daily in wiping and cleaning the
instruments after each operation. Every
little piece of mechanism that touches
a patient is at once washed in an anti
septic solution, carefully wiped on a clean
towel and replaced in its case.
New rubber dam is used in every case,
leaving nothing to be desired by the most
Since DR.. Griswold has used the famous
Hale method Tor painless filling his prac-
tice (Which was always large one) has
so increased as to necessitate two more
able assistants, and with all the chairs
running, patrons can scarcely be accom-
modated. So much for the excellency of
the Doctors work.
l was next introduced into the art of
tooth manufacture and bridge work. 1t
would take whole page of this paper to
describe the many things saw in that
department.
I discovered that by means of bridges
where there are three or four teeth or
roots remaining in position in either
the upper or lower jaw, the vacancies can
be filed by means OF bridge and the
mouth restored to its natural condition OF
beauty and comfort as well as the power
of mastication and speech, without the
annoyance and unsightliness of plate.
This process is no experiment and its
utility can be practically demonstrated in
a Jew moments to any intelligent person.
It is without doubt the greatest triumph
Of mechanical surgery known to the
world. Upon inquiry | found that so
great was the demand for this kind of
work that the Doctor had to send east for
skilled practical man to take entire
charge of this department as he had more
than he and his assistants could attend to.
then asked few questions about the
Painless Method for filling teeth, and
found that most ladies and not few men
dreaded the dentist. In fact, nearly all
came with fear and trembling; but,
thanks to DR.. Hale's discovery, five min
utes in the chair relieved them of all ner-
vousness, as they find that operation per-
formed by DIR. Griswold or any of his
assistants are absolutely painless. " One
young lady, remarkable for the energy of
her language, made an addition to her
form of prayer to suit the emergency:
e'From battle and murder, from sudden
death and from the hands of dentist good
Lord deliver us.'' Thought that would
do for the time being, SO wishing DR..
Griswold every success, departed, feel
ing thankful that if the time should ever
come when my teeth required attention,
should not have to undergoany of the tor
lures of the dentistry of old.
