IN A RAGING TOOTHACHE
Paris Society for Suppression Of Moral Pain by Physical Pain Has
Novel Method Of Treating LoveSiCkneSS.
BY ADA LYNN.

A CURE has been found for a broken heart and for this we are indebted
"a to the Society for the Suppression of Moral Pain by Physical Pain. of
4 n Paris. We have otter heard that N pain drives out another. tut
OF u ave ever believed that this is really possible. The founder of this
society, who is at presenti in Paris, promises to come to this country in
the near future to- TIN aid of those who are suffering with any physical or
mental anhnent s EEt = 4t
For instance a woman who is stricken with son grief; perhaps IN Is
brutany abandoned by som dearly beloved husband and life becomes m IN
tolerabIe burden. Now, instead of dreaming of suicide III merely telephones
to this society or to one of the members Immediately a dentist is sent to
herh home. That able man approaches the desolate woman and gives Ter a
injection which causes a raging toothache. The pain lasts for three days.
The deserted woman groans an roars but during that time at all events she
Tot think of her broken heart.
After tn pain caves her III is happy to be Tive and does nt greve over
the heartess man who left her. In fac she is encourage to forget this n
worthy individual an proceeds to get a divorce so that she may be rid of
him entirely
Those who do not believe that such a society is in existence should
consult this able nan who is coming to this country next fan. to tell Of his
work
In the meantime, if any of you love-ick maidens wish to be cured of
the malady, why don't you try the remedy suggested? 1 know you do not want
any toohache. but then you know it would leave you within a few days,
while the lovedckness will keep up for a long time And you know mere mar
does not deserve that we worry over him.
1t seems o m that this society will have a prosperous future in this
country. We have many women and men, too who need a cure for ovesck-
ness an woriment Justim imagine worrying overt ihing things sin the house
hold duties and wearing apparel Why tisso society might be able to Civ. you
a simple remedy which will ispel all you worries and you may be happy.
Also, business men will be benefited by such a society If they have
many business troubles insteado Of being driven to insanity n committing
suicide, they ear telephone to one of he members of this society n they will
send a remedy which will cure all their worries.
1t certainly would be a splendid thing if such a society could be formed
In this country, wheret there is 50 much hustle and hustle and SO much wor-
rinent n sickness We would then be able to look forward to IN ideal LIE
