Lancing
the
gums
is
further
advantageous,
because
it
empties
the
inflamed
part
of
its
blood,
and
so
relieves
the
pain
and
inflammation.
The
relief
children
experience
in
the
course
of
two
or
three
hours
from
the
operation
is
often
very
remarkable,
as
they
almost
immediately
become
lively
and
cheerful.

Cure
for
Toothache.
Two
or
three
drops
of
essential
oil
of
cloves
put
upon
a
small
piece
of
lint
or
cotton
wool,
and
placed
in
the
hollow
of
the
tooth,
will
be
found
to
have
the
active
power
of
curing
the
toothache
without
destroying
the
tooth
or
injuring
the
gums.

Gutta
Percha
Tooth-Stopping.
Since
the
introduction
of
gutta-percha,
the
use
of
metallic
succedaneum
for
filling
decayed
teeth
has
been
superseded,
especially
in
cases
where
the
cavities
are
large.
The
gutta-percha
is
inodorous,
cheap,
and
can
be
renewed
as
often
as
required.
It
is
only
necessary
to
soften
it
by
warmth,
either
by
holding
it
before
a
fire,
or
immersing
it
in
boiling
water.
Succedaneum
is
best
when
the
decayed
spots
are
very
small.

Succedaneum.
Take
an
old
silver
thimble,
an
old
silver
coin,
or
other
silver
article,
and
with
a
very
fine
file
convert
it
into
filings.
Sift
through
gauze,
to
separate
the
coarse
from
the
fine
particles.
Take
the
finer
portion,
and
mix
with
sufficient
quicksilver
to
form
a
stiff
amalgam,
and
while
in
this
state
fill
the
cavaties
of
decayed
teeth.
This
is
precisely
the
same
as
the
metallic
amalgam
used
by
all
dentists.
