We love to hate our dentists, but I for one am really glad they’re there and can make tooth problems go away.  Of course, asking that the problem go away may be a tad too open-ended…today at the pioneer heritage village (circa 1860’s) on the wall in the blacksmith shop was a sign offering tooth extractions for a very reasonable rate of seven cents.  And a few streets down at the drug store I took a picture of this advertisement:

Yes, that’s offering drops of cocaine at a price of 15 cents for a sure cure for toothache.  Makes you wonder what else it would ‘cure’ while it was at it?
