UP-TO-DATE DENTISTRY.
The Part ELECTRICITY Plays Is an
Important One.
Appliances Which Afford the Operator
Greater Freedom OF Movement and
Reduce the Agony of the Patient
to Minimum.

Electricity as an aid to dentistry Is
being adopted by the more progressive
members of the profession with nearly
as much rapidity as it is in mechanical
and business uses. The mechanical ap-
plances long used by dentists are being
widely supplanted by electrically oper-
ated apparatus, and their practice of
fers an ideal field for such applications
of electric power. The delicate manipu-
proper performance precision and ex-
actness in his apparatus, and in elec-
trio power not only are these qualities
found, but there is also ease of applica-
ton and control. The superiority of
electrically operated apparatus over
similar mechanical apparatus is attest
ed by the rapid introduction of electric
power wherever suitable electric cur
rent is available, and the practice of
the office warrants the expenditure for
the equipment.
Yet perhaps the most important con-
tribution of electrical science to dem
tistry, says the Chicago Record, is not
to be found in improvements of existing
mechanical appliances, but in the di-
rect application of electricity to nitro
duce anaesthetics into the body of a
tooth, and to so secure insensibility in
the dentine and pulp tissues, which are
the parts of the tooth known as the
seat of pain. By this means dental
operations may be performed upon TIL"
most sensitive tooth, and without pain
to the patient
One of the most important appliances
is the engine or drill operated by elee,
trio power. Current is derived from
an incandescent-lighting circuit, or,
where this is not available, ordinary
primary cells may be employed to fur
nish the current for the motor.
The heating power of the electric cur
rent finds two applications In dentistry.
The first appliance is hot-air syringe
and the second is an electric cautery
The hot-air syringe consists of rubber
bulb, furnished with a glass tip, within
which is a coil of platinum wire, heated
to incandescence by the passage of al
electric current. A small button in the

which you raise. These are questions
which the public Is competent to de-
eide for itself upon the evidence.
But there is another aud much larger
question upon which the public has not
sufficient evidence to decide, and yet
which the public must decide, both be-
cause there is no other tribunal and
because the public has a right t decid"
it. OF the $4,000 put at your disposal
with which to erect a monument to
Gen. Sherman, $4,000 was contributed
by the people of the United States. The
question is whether by trusting to your
own, in neglect of more competent, be-
cause more instructed, judgment, you
have undertaken to misspend this pub
lie money by directing the expenditure
of it upon a less worthy work OF art
than might have been obtained for it.
1t is question whether the training
and experience that confer authority
in every profession and IN every trade
shall confer authority in the choice of
public works of art, to be paid for with
public money. This Is the question
upon which we have notified you that
we should appeal to the public. We
have endeavored to appeal to the pub
lie, not, as you enormously suppose, by
an appeal to the senate of the United
States; for though we should have held
it entirely proper to invoke the senate
to arrest the execution of your project,
as matter of fact the question was
raised in that body without our prompt
ing. But we have appealed in the first
instance to the secretary of war as the
custodian of the public money which
you propose to spend, not merely with
out but against expert advice. And we
have done what we couil to secure an
appeal to the general public by inquir-
ing of each of the sculpfors in the Sec
ond competition instituted, conducted
and decided by your committee, wheth-
er he would be willing to exhibit his
\ model in competition with the other
three in this city. From Mr.. Bartlett
Mr.. Niehaus and Mr.. Rhind we have re-
ceived unqualified assents. Mr. Rohl.
Smith has informed us that ill-healtl
and absence from the country would
prevent him at present from taking
part in such an exhibition. but that il
the early autumn he might be able tc
do so.
We therefore respectfully invite you
TO cooperate with us in securing al
exhibition of the competitive models
not only in this city, but, so far as may
be practicable. in other cities of the
union. To you we present the consid
Grafton that, if the public agree will
you, your choice viii be ratified anC
vindicated. For ourselves, it is a suf
ficient inducement that such an exhi
bition would necessarily tend to pro
mote public interest IN the art of sculp
ture and public discrimination betweer
more or less admirable examples of tha
art. To bring about such a result i

which this society exists,

Orin Curtis, native Of this town
and q brother of our townsman, A. A.
Curtis, died athis home in Charles
town, Mass, the 2Sth of last month.
Mr.. Curtis passed last summer with
his nephew, Geo. S. Curtis then a
resident of So. Londonderry. The
Charlestown Enterprise of Aug. lst
says:
Orin Curtis, a respected citizen of
Charlestown and at one time prom
inent business man of the district,
passed away last Tuesday at his
home, 462 Main street. He had been
in poor health for many years and a
bout three years ago retired from the
grocery business which he conducted
on Main street near his home.
Mr.. Curtis was born in Londonder-
ry,Vt., on March II, 1887. He was
the son of Nathaniel and Betsey
Curtis. He attended the schools of
that place and came to Charlestown
at the age of eighteen. HIS first en-
| ployment was with John Easterbrook
the teamst er. He next became man
ager of II. & S. p. Hills livery sta.
bic on Park street, and soon after,
wards engaged in the retail business
on his ownaccount. He retired from
this business in 1881 and opened 8
gro Gerry store which he conducted Tin.
til failing health necessitated his re
tlrement.
He was married in 1852 to Adm.
cite Z. Stowell of Londonderry, n
H., three children being born to then
one of whom, Frank L., is now liv.
ing. The latter is the we'll known
superintendent of the Waverley
House. Mr.. Curtis was a member
of Henry Price of Masons and was
formerly a member of Boston Ian.

We Ancient Ways.

Quite an illustration of the days of
the fathers can be seen at the highland
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Mansfield
in the shape OF decorated room. The
house was built in 1929 and the next
year one Powers, painter, supposed
to be the father of the noted sculptor Of
that name, was employed to decorate
the square room" or parlol. These,
done in oil upon the bare plastering,
are well preserved as could be seen
lately when the paper was removed
prior to putting on new, and consisted
of figures of men, women, horses, lions,
Indians, trees, vines, etc. Over the
mlntel are portraits of the Prince of
Orange and his wife and was fairly
good compared with canvas paintings
Of that day. The prince is dressed in
officers uniform: top boots, military
hat and old fashioned collar and stock.
His wifes dress is quite after modern
styles, big sleeves and pointed bodice.
One looking at this work can but
wonder at the taste that Inspired it.
But thea that was nearly seventy years
ago and who knows but in three scoro
and ten years from this our tastes may
be the subject of as severe criticism as
this is now?
Our mill man, c. D. Farnum, is

claim celebrated healers. According
to this talk we have one that eclipses
all of them. Like the others he heals

building at the foot of main street and
proposes to rebuild the dam, put in a

building for the manufacture of small

ed for such business and doubtless can
be made success. 1t may be as well
to mention here, for the benefit of 9TH

under vote of the town all new manu-

be exempt from taxation for a period
of five years.

handle makes the circuit and gives the
dentist an instant current of heated
air on pressing the bulb, current
which may be regulated from one
slightly warm to the hottest blast.
This Is for drying the cavities in the
teeth prior to filling them.
The electric cautery is employed for
rendering dull the pain of sensitive
dentine. A platinum wire loop, sup
ported at the end of hard-rubber
handle, is heated by the passage of an
electric current through it. The cur
rent is turned on or off by a small push
button on the handle. The rapid pass
ing of the heated loop of wire across the
sensitive spots upon the worn or
atrophied fasces of bicuspids and molars
will often produce an immunity from
pain when all other agencies fail
The electric mouth lamp, or laryn-
goscope, supplies a means of discover
ing which is an offending tooth when no
cavity or decay is apparent. The dentist
by its means is able to discern the slight
est departure from the normal condi-
ton. 1t lights up the gums and teeth
SO strongly that hidden cavity or un-
suspected dead pulp, or even a slight
thickening of the tissues, which is the
precursor of decay. can be easily de-
tected Sound teeth will appear trans
lucent, without variations in texture,
while dead tooth will appear Opaque,
often when it's color gives no indication
u ordinary observation. This appar-
atus consists of tiny incandescent
lamp, supported in front of a suitable
mirror, to reflect the light as may be re-
ouired.
This same result might now be at
| tained by the use of the Roentgen rays,
the source of which would be placed out
side of the cheek,opposite the tooth, and
| the image of the tooth observed on a
state and placed inside the mouth.
The electromagnetic mallet is an
other device welcomed by skillful oper-
ators. It's advantages are that it deliv-
ers the hard or the light blow as de-
sired and this can at all times be varied.
| When properly used it condenses the

the entire filling. Owing to the control
of the instrument gold may be i'm
pacted against thin, frail walls with
ease and without fracturing the enamel.
Besides, it saves the operator the time
and the fatigue attendant upon the use
of a hand, automatic or foot-power NAL
let With this instrument the blows are
given with great rapidity, thus greatly
decreasing the time in which the patient
is in the chair.
The recent discovery of the applica-
bility of electric currents to produce
local anaesthesia, either in sensitive
dentine, the pulp chamber or in ulcer
ated portions of the gums, renders ex-
fractions or other usually painful oper-
ations possible without pain to the pa
tient and without administering gas.
