Show flciitlolry In China. The report of tho phy-dcian in charge of tho Xingpo Missionary Hospital Hos-pital for the past year contains some interesting observations on tooth-drawing in China. Dr. Daly remarks that Chinese toeth are much more easily extracted than those of Europeans. The native dentists are said to possess a wonderful powder, which is rubbed on the gum over the affected tooth; after an interval of about five minutes the patient is told to sneeze, whereupon where-upon tho tooth falls out Dr. Daly has offered a reward of $100 to anyone performing tho operation in this way in his presence, on condition that he is allowed to choose the tooth and examine ex-amine the mouth before and afterward. So far no one will consent to perform the operation on these conditions. British and Colonial Druggist. |
