Chloroform, vitalized Air, Gas and Ether
are the old time anesthetics for the painless ex.
traction. Of teeth, the use Of which we have
come to dread more than having teeth pulled
without the use Of any anesthetics, for the rea.
son that by their uSe the patient becomes un-
coIs cious, which affects the whole system. The
inhalation Of such strong drugs Is accompanied
with great danger, especially when the patient
is suffering with heart or lung trouble. and
Zine out of ten Of rs are more or less thus af-
fected. The many instances of patients dying
while under the influence OF Gas or Vitalized
Ar Is proof Of the great danger accompanying
their use. The many in.tances Of physicians
refusing to allow their patients to take these
strong drugs Is another proof Of the extreme
danger in using them. O-Don Tunder, for
the painless extraction of teeth Is the grsndest
success Of the age, for the reason that, with
the uss Of O.Don. Tunder the patient remains
conscious all the time. There Is no inhalation
Of drugs. Nothing is taken into the system
and consequently absolutely no danger accom-
psnies its use. Don-Tunder Is local sppli
cation numbing the gums 80 that the teeth can
be extracted entirely without pain. Come one,
come all. am prepared TO extract teeth for
old or young, rich or poor. white or colored,

very loud when Jim pulled her uE

He began right away, as if he liked

down; how he told her not to DO It,
and how presently off flew the glass
Unto a hundred million pieces. u
Really, Jim was quite out OF breath

The mother heard him to the end,
and then, fixing her soft brown eyes
on him, asked, "What was my glass
doing on the table, Jim"
Where was Jim's tongue now? He
was as still as mouse, and began to
wish he had not been in such hurry
about telling on May.
"Who took my glass out of the cup.

mother again.
