So 'enter Jonah.' There was xomelhing more of constraint in Mis Dorothy's manner than uual, as she mo honed Mr Elderberry to a chair; a degree ot consciousness w hich looks very well at fisieen, but i perhaps, re ersed w hen the ire reversed.

The only specific ever offered to the public, from which a permanent and radical cure may be obtained of that disagreable pain, the tooth ach with nil its attendant evils; such as fracturing the jaw in extracting of the teeth, which of ten proves more painful than the toothach itself; and could passintr from the decayed teeth to the jaw, thence to the bead, producing a rheumatic affection, with many either unpleasant affect uch as a disagreeable breath, bad taste in the mouth cc ic. all of which arc produced from foul or decayed teeth. I am happy to have it in my power to offer to the world a remedy, that will not only remove the pain nine times out of ten, if properly applied, but preserve the teeth from further decay, and arrest the disease in such a. are decaying ami have not commenced aching, restoring theai to health and usefulness.
