PULLING TEETH

[Welland Tribune, 1 December 1882]

              Only a short time ago the death of one of our most respected residents, unfortunately occurred from the administration of chloroform to deaden the pain expected from a dental operation, and again on Friday great excitement was occasioned by a young lady named Nellie Shea (or Shane) going into convulsions whilst under the influence of some new-fangled process to deaden pain. Fortunately, however, in this case the results were not so serious.
