Toothache Remedies and Dentists in a Fragmented Tale
A jumble of excerpts on toothache cures with peppermint essence laudanum and electricity, a dentist's cure, plus a comic digression about a broken locomotive, fishing misadventure, and social vignettes. Narratives switch between advice fragments and colloquial asides in old newspaper voice.
