R.L. Ripples
"Laughing Gas" and cocaine constantly on hand for the painless extraction of
teeth. C. S. Van Doren. Dentist, Winfield. Kansas, 1884
I've been meaning to post a suggestion re dentists which the above reminds me
of....
We all remember where TRP says they succeed shrinks who succeeded shamans as
our societal moralists..............
With the comic suggestion of dentists, I might argue that TRP 'predicted' the
societal
move from 'talk therapy' to pill therapy, so to speak. And, with cocaine above,
we're
back to the future that is the Golden Fang in IV, again, so to speak.
