He went there because it was nearer

That was a cowardly lie. He knew
he had no dentist. He knew that he
had suffered at intervals with that
tooth for years, and because he was
afraid of a dentist But he did not want
the drug man 10 think he was coward.
| So he invented this lie in order to get
ANYTHING that would give him sur

IL he could do that he would sit down
alone somewhere and chuckle to him
self that he had won another victory
over an old tooth and without seeing
a dentist. And he could say, as he had
said before to others: II did rot have
to go to dentist. am my own den
tist." There is nothing man can do
of which he will he prouder than knock
ing out toothache without resorting
to the dentist.
