Electricity Utilized by Dentists.

A new machine has been Introduced for the purpose of safely and conveniently adapting the power of electricity to the uses and requirements of dentistry. The operation of a small slectrlc motor enables the dentist to dispense with the foot lever commonly jused, and to concentrate all his attention on the work In hand. In the filling and stopping of te?th the electric dental engine Is specially serviceable, as the various mallets used can be run from a slow to the very highest speed. It was noted as curious that a large number of the early orders for this de-* vice came from seaside places. Upon Inquiry It was found that many city people realise their need of a dentist only after they have left their homes. As soon as they reach the seaside their tefcth begin to throb and pain. The reason given by the dentists Is that the change of air and the Invigorating outdoor life which summer idlers lead strengthen and stimulate them. Their hearts have a stronger beat, and if there is a weak spot anywhere about them the pressure of the quickened circulation finds it out. Thus It happens that teeth which are no trouble In the city bring grist to the mill of the seaside dentist—New York Times.
