Electricity an AID to Dentistry.

In dentistry, cataphoresis is sup
planting many of the primitive meth
ods, from the reproach Of which even
that progressive profession has for
many years past vainly endeavored TO
escape, and has made actually painless
operations at last possible. For by
this method cocaine can be applied not
only to the soft tissues Of the body, but
TO the hard substance Of the tooth.
The teeth, although coated by super
fetal skin-the enamel-internally
are composed Of a tubulous structure
called dentine, quite capable Of con.
veying current, since within the little
cububles is closed a gelatinous filament
rich in salts and fluid, which makes II
a good conductor Of electricity.
If cavity in the tooth-which is
constituted a cavity for tho reason that
the enamel has been destroyed and a
portion Of the dentins has been en-
croached upon-is filed with pledget
of cotton saturated with a solution Of
cocaine, and to this pledget is applied
piece ofplatinum wire connected TO
the positive pole Of the ordinary gal.
vanic battery, and very small current
is allowed TO flow, in period varying
from six TO thirty minutes, according
to the ability and knowledge Of the
operator-the shortest period recorded
is a minute and a-half-the cocaine
will be conveyed by the electric cur.
rent down the tubules 10 the nerve
itself, and the dentist can proceed with
the dreaded preparation Of the tooth
without pain to the patient. The tooth
can be excayated, filed or even ex.
tracted without the inhiction Of the
slightest suffering.
If one takesinto account the steady
and accumulated agony Of dental ope-
rations throughout the world, and con-
siders the wear and tear Of protrscted
pain which they entail, he may easily
comprehend what an enormous boon
to suffering humanity such process
as this will be when generally applied
in dentistry.

Fulton's First Fare and Passenger.

There was one little incident in
Robert Fulton's life about which few
people know and which Fulton never
forgot. 1t took place shortly before
the return trip of his famous boats
voyage by steam up the Hudson river.
At the time all Albany focked to the
wharf, SAYS Harpers Round Table,
which relates the story. to see the
strange craft, but so timorous were
they that few cared to board her. One
gentleman, however, not only boarded
her, but sought out Fulton, whom he
found in the cabin, and the following
conversation took place
This is Mr. Fulton, l presume ?"
"Yes, sir.
"Do you return to New York with
this boat?"
1--WE shall try to get back, sir. &"
Have you any objection to my re-
turning with you ?"
III you wish to take the chances
with us, sir, have no objection.
What is the fare y
After a moment's hesitation, Fulton
replied, "Six dollars. And when
that amount was laid in his hand he
gazei at it long time, and two big
tears rolled down his cheeks. Turning
to the passenger, he said
Excuse me, sir, but this is the first
pecunidry reward ! have received for
all my exertion in adapting steam TO
navigation. | would gladly commem-
orate the occasion with little dinner,
but | am too poor now even to do that.
If we meet again, | trust it will not
be the case.
As history relates the voyage ter
minated successfully. Four years later
Fulton was sitting in the cabin Of the
Clermont, then called the North river.
when a gentleman entered. Fulton
glanced at him, and then sprang mp
and gladly shook his hand. 1t was
his first passenger, and over a pleas.
ant little dinner Fulton entertained
his guest with the history of his sue
cess, and ended with saying that tho
first actual recognition of his useful
ness to his fellowmen was the SO paId
to him by his first passenger.

Thrown
From a Horse

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
bic for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-called blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and Is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
II never fails to cure a blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

A STORM.

The blazing sun is high
Still in the sky so clear,
But from the willow trees 4 sigh
Proclaims a storm is near.
The sky is growing dark,
And yet it does not rain,.
But the clouds glide like bark
Upon the waters name.
The clouds grow dense, it darkens,
a rum milling sound is heard,
And the rising wind harkens
AS tho it had lost word.
The trees bend and are reeling,
The lightning plays around,
And the thunders distant pealing
Makes all the earth resOund.
But seel the clouds are opening,
AT least it seems that way,
And the distant echoing
is from the thunders play.
The rain comes down in torrents,
Then low it seems TO cease
Just for few short minutes,
Again and all is peace.
Look out in the western sky,
A dim soft light is seen,
The sun from up on high
Sends out its golden beam.
But now look to the east,
What beautiful sight!
Earth and sky have created
A rainbow beautif'ly bright.
And so it is in life,
In joy or in pain,
We know not when we're happiest,
Before or after the rain.
Helen Carey Lane.

Mr.. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
about three years ago my grand
daughter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
manned about the same. until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and feSrfully
disfguring her.
"After being constantly under a
physician for a year, and her condi-
tion great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a well-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
Reading of the many cures of
blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it, and II relieved her
promptly. At first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. s. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula,
Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, ETC., no matter how deep-seated
the case. S. S. s. is guaranteed

and exhibited before either the doctor
or his wife died. II took ten years TO

were Of carved rosewood, beautifully
ornamented with silver. They cost
5000 apiece. The doctor died two
years before his wife did, but she had
bis body placed in an ordinary coffin
and went on exhibiting the rosewood
