SCIENCE ROBS DENTAL
CHAIRS OF TERRORS
And 1t Has Also Deprived the Profess

Stock in Trade, Says Dr..
Richard H. Riethmuller.

Louisville, Ky, July 27.-How scienc,

rors and the professional humorist of q
good piece of stock in trade was de
scribed to-day by DR.. Richard Rieth
muller, of Philadelphia, and member OF
the faculty of the University of Penn.
sylvania, in his address "Inter- Oral
Methods OF Local Anaesthesia," before
the Interstate Association of Anesthet-
lists holding session in connection with
the annual convention of the National
Dental association. The method de-
scribed by DR. Riethmuller is known as
! I"Conductive Anaesthesia," and he rec.
commended it as being vastly superior TO
older methods.
Under this method OF anaesthesa =
or nerve deadening," said DR.. Riethmul-
| Ter, "a single injection Of drug into,
| for instance, the lower jaw will render
insensible to pain the hard as well as
the soft tissues, including the bone, and
eight teeth on one side Of the mouth,
and it would be possible to remove all
the teeth or to remove part of the jaw
bone itself without any pain whatso-
ever and with the patient fully conscious
all the time"
DR.. Riethmuller said that advantages
claimed for this method are: absolute
painlessness. full consciousness of the
patient and absence of hemorhages dur
ing operation, even if ii be OF a surgi
cal nature
"The drug used in this method of pain
less dentistry is novocain,' he continued
,s LAY, /,
caine, is non habit forming and can he
easily sterilized by boiling. 1t produces
insensibility of the hard and
soft tissues of the mouth without any
detrimental after-effects whatever.
"A highly important feature of this
is that, by its use, it is posi-
BILE to obtain complete asepsis-or alb
sence of pus forming bacteria-of the
anaesthetic solution itself, and of the in
struments used, and of the part where |
the injection is made The injection is |
made at certain selected spots, and the |
patient feels no pain whatever from the
injection, and one injection produces |
complete lack of sensation in several |
teeth at once"
DR.. Riethmuller told his audience that
It was the aim of this method to elm
mate pain and shock from all dental
operations, no matter how apparently |
.rifling in kind or degree, and to thus rob
iental operations of the fear of them
which is entertained by great many
people The duration of the anaesthesia
$ sufficiently long to allow first healing
to take place without pain, and,
there is no distressing ait
II r-effect.
By means of lantern slides and motion
'ictures made especially for the lecture,
)r. Riethmuller explained the intimate
and appreciation of pharmac-
logy and the physiological action of
lovocain-suprar asepsis, histology
nd anatomy that are required in this
method Of anaesthesia and showed the ,
echnique 'of injections for such oral
urgical operations as extractions, re-
ection of root ends, and curetment OF

And All New York May Be
Tied Up in Big
Strike
DISORDERS BREAK
OUT IN THE BRONX
In Yonkers, Mount Vernon
and New Rochelle No
Cars Were Moved

New York, July 27.-Upon the arrival
of President Mahon of the street railway
employees union to-day, motormen and
conductors of all street railways in the

strike which has tied up the lines in
the Bronx and Westchester county. At
tempts to resume operations in Bronx
have resulted in disorders. No cars
moved to-day in Yonkers, Mount Vernon
or New Rochelle.
The strike was extended to the sur
face lines of the Bronx yesterday and
all surface cars in that borough north of
10th street were ordered to the barns
at s o'clock last night by Edward A. Ma
her, general manager of the Union Rail
road company, which operates the lines
of the Bronx. Railrotd officials ex-
planned that this was due to protect the
men who refused to obey the strike or
der, as numerous threats of violence had
been received.
Union leaders claimed that more than
1000 carmen in the Bronx responded to
the strike order, while Mr.. Maher de-
elared not more than 500 had walked
out. During the evening rush hours,
however, it was said that only one line
in the Bronx was operating cars any
where near schedule.
One hundred strikers armed with
bricks last night attacked car in the
Bronx, smashing nearly every window
and demolishing part of the woodwork.
There were no passengers on the car.
The motorman and conductor took shell
ter inside and were not injured. Police
reserves dispersed the rioters, arrestng
three of them.
