Tooth Extractor
notes: label: Description
content: Edouard Jacques René Oudry (1827-1873) was born in France, and immigrated to the United States. In the Directory of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Cities for 1861, he advertised “TEETH EXTRACTED WITHOUT PAIN by the use of a new apparatus, whereby no drugs or galvanic battery are used.” In 1863 he obtained U.S. Patent 39,673 for an “Improvement in Apparatus for Cooling the Teeth.” This item may be his patent model. A paper label reads “DR. EDWARD OUDRY / APPARATUS FOR / Extracting Teeth Without Pain / PITTSBURGH, PA.”
