Pain Killed by Light.
TOOTH EXTRACTION ROBBED OF ITS TERMORS. i After 1)hiioo years of patient research Professor Hedtird, oi Geneva, assisted by Professor Emery, has discovered a new, anaesthetic which promises | to revolutionise the practice of dentistry. Finding that the nervous system i 8 influenced by coloured light, the professor experimented with each hue I'd turn, and soon perceived that blue has fin extraordinarily soothing effect on the nerves." Putting this discovery to practical use he now shuts up a patient in a] dark room and exposes his eyes to a blue light of sixteen-oandle power for three minutes, causing Slim to lose all sense of pain, although tat the same time retaining his senses. A tooth may then be painlessly extracted with none of the after eflccts on the system which sometimes follow other or chloroform.
