. Dental icuspid region like that produced bytouching ones funny bone.

Cocain phenate may be used to advantage as an applica-tion under the gum before removing deep-seated calculi fromthe roots of teeth affected by pyorrhea; as an application to re-lieve the pain caused by the entrance into the mucous tissues ofa hypodermic needle; for the relief of pulpitis; to relieve thesensitivity of pulp remnants after partial extirpation under ar-senic; in the treatment of post-extract
