One day not long ago a tall country
man, with his boots frescoed with
waller" mud and his pants legs stuffed
into their tops, walked into Market
street dental Office and inquired IL that
was the place where they "yanked" out
teeth.
The dentist informed him that it was,
and he, taking a seat in the operator
chair, told the dentist that he had one
he wanted ''yanked'' out.
The dentist gave the tooth several
preliminary probes with sharp in
strument, which appeared to give the
coLntryman great pain, and then told
the countryman that as this tooth was
very sensitive it would be necessary
for him to take gas to deaden the pain
which would be caused by the opera
ton.
The countryman grew indignant at
this and very quickly informed the
dentist that he would take coal oil II

pie bein' 'fixiated by takin' it," The
dentist pulled the tooth without tho
