(By Longbellow) DENTAL surgery had made enormous advances since his boyhood, when, he remembered, the following announcement appeared over the entrance to a blacksmith ' s forge which he once visited. ' Tooth- drawing, bleeding, and cupping done here. ' The instrument used was called a pelican, and had a strong, sharp, hooked beak. Mr. J. W. Hulke, F.R.S., at the Dental Hospital Dinner. Under the spreading gum-tree ' s shade The village smithy stands, The smith a busy man is he. For when frail flesh demands. He cups and bleeds and pulls out teeth With his large and sinewy hands. Week in, week out, from morn to night You may see his clients there. Bound hand and foot to the anvil — For he owns not any chair — Squealing, squirming, as he swings The pelican in air. Its beak is sharp and hooked and strong To stir the stumps of man; You shall not see so weird a thing From Crewe to Matapan; They look the whole world in the mouth. He and his pelican. The children coming home from school Look in at the smithy door; They love to see the pelican And hear the patients roar. And catch the double teeth that fall Like hailstones on the floor. The poem h taken from E. V. Llu ' iis ' splemlij jn obJo- vitphiciil work Reading, Writing an J Renienihering (19 y2). ■tl2
