DENTISTRY AT SEA.


AA%G " @et1s[hhE AAohA<
When a sailor on a deep-water ship
has toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
in his tooth, and if that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it, says the New York
Sun. 1t is common thing for sailors
to pull their own teeth. Their method
is to put string around tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; On some vessels
a fair outfit of them. A ship captain
Of long experience said that in the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-labeled,
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically weIi-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest book explaining the uses
Of the medicines. The captain is like
IL to have some other book on medical
subjects which ne has read and studied.
and he is likely to have had a good deal
Of experience before attaining the rank
of master of ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires, the
captain p-escribes; he is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are OF course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances in which the captain would not

A birds nest was found in the suburbs
