I collect old newspapers. This is from The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August
6, 1862. I hope you can make most of it out. I couldn't fit in the
prices but a "Full upper or under set of teeth on silver...$10" . He
also offers on "amber, gold or patina" up to $50 and "Extraction" 25
cents.

Can someone tell me what he means by "Teeth extracted in five seconds by
the application of electricity without the slightest pain"? Electricity?
What did they use for anesthesia? Some of you may have these old ads in
your dental books, etc. but if you'd like a copy of this or another one
on the same page, feel free to email me and I'll xerox it for you.
Here's the url for the picture I took of the ad:
