nm. Snc SalN no, he was always
there in ten or fifteen minutes after
he received the message. There was
Il yolmg man in the dining room and
I asked the lady if that was her hus-
band. She said it was one Of the
family that was going back to the
mill. l asked him if he was going
right away and he said he was, and
that he could call the doctor as soon
as he got there. I told her l had
called at noon time to pull little
boys tooth while his father was
there. | told her that I had done all
that / knew to do and I would have
to turn it over to medical doctor.
] | left her and told her if had time,
| would try to get back. got out
side and looked at my watch and it
was 20 minutes past IL o'clock. I
had made arrangements TO go off on
that 1916 train. I told my sister
in-law that / would come by and see
her before | went. | went back to
Newberry mills about 25 or 26 mill
utes to l o'clock. | talked to my
sister-in-law a little bit and went on
to the train. 7 told Hope or Cope
and other people that was going to
leave on the c., n. & l.. train. I
told him at breakfast and he told
me to come back TO dinner, and I
asked what time the train left and
he said 12:47. and 7 told him T
wouldn't have time. Day before yes

norman and I also told him that I

1 have been practicin@ this dcntis-
try for two years the 18th of next
July. I have been using this medi-
cine on different patients ever since
then. Mrs. Berry's pulse seemed all
right when I was working on her and
that was the reason I thought she
was going to stand it.
L am not licensed dentist. I UNI
derstand it is not unlawful to pull
teeth without license. We have a
book on the laws of dentistry and it
says it is not against the laws of
South Carolina to pull teeth. II
don't know whether or not it is
against the laws to use amaesthetics
to kill pain in pulling teeth. I don It
know what kind Of different medi-
cines it is composed of. don It
know how many times I filled my
pump when I was putting that med
ieine in there. I always put the
medicine in until the gums turn
white, then it is ready for pulling.
You can't tell how much you put in
the gums as you waste the medicine
some times more than goes in the
gums, sometimes not as much.
When I first started she seemed to
be all right, but of course she was
sickly, as she said herself she was
Sickly, but she had a good nerve.
When [ first started she seemed to
stand it all right. I didn't know
whether this medicine comes up to
but she said she thought she could
stand almost anything. T do not know
whether this medicine comes D to
the pure food law or not. You can
ask DR.. Strickland, rs he mixes it.
q. Are you not supposed to know
whether the patient can stand it or
not before You put the medicine in.
A. 7 can't tell. We have never
had trouble in using this medicine on
we'll person and expect we have
used 1t a thousand times. The bottle
was something like 2-3 full when T
started this work on Mrs. Berry. AZ
forwards T used the same medicine
ON Mrs. Bcrry's sister. pulled SIX
teen teeth for one lady at Clinton
and used medicine out of this same
bottle and 7 suppose it is 1-3 full.
That bottle was one ounce bottle. I'll
had bottle Of 1-40 grain strychnine
IN that satchel and other medicines
for myself.
