Brutal times! (Actually it went: arm crushed by train --> amputation --> infection for two days --> death) Most of the time their solution was to cut the limb off and 75% of those times it led to death from infection! I wonder why it took so long to come up with something else? We have some dental action coming up. Here's a teaser from 1865: > Sarah has had a hard time with her teeth. I told her I should go to Dr Bowers and have them fixed, so she went and he has pulled one and killed another, and filled 14 cavities. It cost her 23 dollars. This was just after Sarah's 18th birthday.

What a horrible way to go, and $23 that was a huge amount, I find dental work now to be miserable. I can't even begin to imagine it back then. I had heard that few survived amputations and it seemed to be their solution to any badly damaged limb. Bowers, I have family with that name. Thank you for the kind upvote.I hope you have a great weekend.

Dental work will always be painful and expensive! It seems some thing will never change... Same to you, re: the weekend!
