BILL
WHIFFLETREE S DENTAL
I- EXPERIENCE'
Have you ever had the tooth" ache ? If
not theu bjessed is your ignorance, for it
is indeed bliss to know nothing about the
tooth ache, as you know nothing, abso
lutely nothing about pain thp acute dou
ble distilled rectified agony that luiks about
tile roots or fangs of a treacherous tooth.
But ask a sufferer how it feels, how it op
erates, and you may learn something the
oretically which you may pray heayen that
you may not know practical lr.
But there's poor Bill Whifiletree, he has
been plough the milf, fought, bled and
died (slightly,) with the refined, essential
oil of the agony caused by a raging tooth.
Every time we read OtheIIo,we are half in
clined to think that more than half of Ia
go'a devlisbness came 'from that 'raging
tooth, which would not lee him sleep,but
tortured and tormented 'mi he ancient ,' so
-1 . i
that he became embittered against all the
world aTJd blackamoors in particular."
Wm. Whiffletree's case is a very strong
illustration of what tooth ache is, and what
it causes p?opla to do ; and affords a pret
ty fair idea of the manner in which the
teeth.and sufferer are medicinally and mos
rally treated by the materia medico, and
friends at large. . U j
' ; William Whifiletree or 3;llr as most
people called him was a-sturdy young
fellow of two and twenty? 'poor but re
spectable parents,' and:. tended the dry
goods store of one Ethan , Rakestraw, in
the vilhge of Rockbottom, State of New
York. j: . j
One unfortunate day for poor Bill, there
ca-me to Rockbottom a galvanized looking
individual,; rejoicing, in the euphonium of
Dr. Ilanibal Orestes Wangbanger. As a
surgeon', be bad according to the. album
full of cVrtfto-praed o at the sci
entific br nches .of ampntalibn, fioro the
scalp lock to the heel tap, upon Emperor
King-Quenand common folks; but up
on bis acienc in the dental way, he spread
arid grew luminous J r-In short he had not
been long Rockbottom before his gift of
i
gab, and unadulterated propensity to elon
gate the blanket, set everybody, including
poor Bill Whiffletree, in a furor to have
their teeth' cut, filed scraped, rasped, reset,
dug out and burnished np ! i
Now Bijl, being as we aforestated, a
muscularly developed youth, got np in the
most sturdy New Hampshire styleM teeth
were ttetbj in every way calculated to per
form long and strong ; but Bill was fast
imbibing countef-bdpper notions, dabbling
in stiff dickies, greased soap locks and oth
er fancy flab dabs, supposed to be essenti
al in cutting a swarth among ye fair sex.
. go that When Dr. Wangbanger once had
an andicence with Mr.Wm. Whiflaetree,-
in regard to one of his molars, which Bill
thought had a speck on it, he soon con
vinced the victim that tlie said molar was
not onJy specked, but but of the dead
plumb of its nearest neighbor, at least the
4t. part of an inch T . t.

Poor Bill ! he scarcelyjkpew what fain,

That night was-one of anxiety and mis
ery to poor J3ill. The disturbed molar
growled and twitched like ma4;.andjby
daylight his cheek was swoolen, up equal
to i printer's buff ball his mouth pucker
ed and bis lighteye half-bunged up.

; Mrs. Rakestraw applied the landannm
to Bills molar, but as it did no kind of good,
old grandmother proposed a poultice ; and
soon poor Bills head and, check were
done vp Iin mush, while he groaned and
grunted ndj started for the sfore, every.
bQdygpping at his swollen countenance as
though ho w a-rare curiosity.
'Ha'Iob Bill T. says old 'Firelock, the
