Most physicians and dentists try to retain the natural teeth for you if possible. because they grind the food better, sud are more comfort- able. So if they advise the removal of teeth you may rest assured that it is necessary- And now comes the big worry. You must undergo the extraction of teeth. As you go to the dentist he tolls you that he can extract teeth by three methods. First. remove them without any preliminaries whatever. Simply put on the forceps nnd draw them out: This was the old method. Second. "He can put an anaesthe- tic into your gums that will block the nerves, and you will feel no pain whatever. Third. He can use gas, which will put you into a dreamy state and you'll feel no pain. qWliat are you going to do about My suggestion is that you takc the dentist's advice in the matter. if the teeth are diseased and arc getting loose in the sockets, thorc is no need for any anaesthetic, either lnto the gums. or by menus of gas. if the teeth are solidly in their sockets, ivhich is the best method. blocking the nerve with the local it ls decided that some of your Manufactured by oi Canada Limits imperial Tobacco Com any ini-irr reduction ln the speech iroml with such severe jolts cannot be a true picture of the laud 0f rest for which the christian is to sigh nnd pray and look forward to in cngcr sxyn-ctaucy.
