AMATEUR DENTISTRY
BARMAN PULLS TOOTH Dentistry is a craft which is usually left to those who are qualified to practise it, but a barman in a -Christchurch hotel recently stopped 'pulling the beer pump for long to pull a tooth which was -causing the trouble. The patient had just suffered a spill from his bicycle and a tooth had been loosened in the fall. What he lacked in skill the barman made up for in initiative and, seating the -sufferer in a chair, he produced a pair of forceps with which, after a - preliminary scuffle, he extracted the offending tooth. Contrary to usual practice, the patient took the anaesthetic after the operation.
