My wife has had six teeth taken at a sitting, but the last two she wished to have out, she could not make up her mind to the work until I promised her it should not hurt in the extraction, which I accomplished by accompanying her to Dr. Porter's dental office, of this city, and administering chloroform in the usual way, just to the point of nervous stimulation, or until its effects were felt over the whole system, at which time the teeth were taken, not causing pain, she says, equal to toothache for one minute. Not the slightest inconvenience was experienced from the effects of the chloroform. I consider this plan, and so does Dr. Porter, far preferable to administering it until entire stupefaction, by which many valuable lives have been lost.

8. Dentrifice which Removes Tartareoos Adhesions, Arrests Decay, and Induces a Healthy Action of the Goms. —Dissolve 1 ounce of borax in 1J pints of boiling water, and when a little cool, add 1 teaspoon ot the tincture of myrrh and 1 table-spoon of the spirits of camphor, and bottle for use. Directions. —At bedtime wash out the mouth with water ; using a badger's hair brush (bristle brushes tear the gums and should never be used) ; then take a table-spoon of the dentrifice with as much warm water, and rub the teeth and gums well each night until the end is attained.

9. Tooth Wash —To Remove Blackness. —Pure muriatic acid 1 oz.; water 1 oz.; honey 2 ozs. ; mix. Take a tooth brush and wet it freely with this preparation, and briskly rub the black teeth, and in a moment's time they will be perfectly white •, then immediately wash out the mouth with water, that the acid may not act upon the enamel of the teeth.

It need not be used often, say once in three or four months, as the teeth become black again, washing out quickly every time. Without the washing after its use, it would injure the teeth, with it, it never will. This blackness is hard to remove, even with the brush and tooth powder.

10. Dr. Tiiompson, of Evansville, Ind., gives the above in twenty drop doses, three times daily, for laryngitis or bronchitis, taken in a little water, throwing it back past the teeth.

11. Tooth Powder — Excellent. —Take any quantity of finely pulverized chalk, and twice as much linely pu'verized cbarcoul; make very line; thei add a very little suds made with Castile •oap, and sufficient spirit* of camphor to wet all to a thick paste.
