Show Iu Unpleasant Keepsakes. One thing that dentists cannot understand un-derstand is tho frequency with which their customers ask for the teeth that have been extracted. , "What on earth they do with them Is a mystery," said ono Columbus avenue ave-nue dentist. "They aro not pretty to look nt; they do not revive pleasant memories. If every tooth was set with a diamond or had become historic his-toric In some way I could understand tho desire to preserve them. But there aro few historic teeth In the world. Most of those that are gone are only reminders of ache3 and pains. Nevertheless, it is a common thing for tho patient to ask mo to keep tho i tooth. Maybe ho wants to compare It with tho tooth of a friond and there by prove how much more ho suffered than tho other fellow when It was pulled." New York Press. |
