Pains in a dentist’s chair arc forgotten as the patient’s interest is captured by a moving picture thrown on a screen directly in front of the sufferer. Dr A, G. Highgato, of Wauconda, Illinois, United States, believed that a moving picture would be a relief for his patients, especially the children, and he had a small portable projector installed. Through the projector a film is run while Dr Highgate is at work. As a result, he says, ho finds it easier to give his treatments, and they arc decidedly less trying for his little patients. Older people are now asking that the pictures be shown while they arc in the dentist’s chair. Short comedies of the animated cartoon type are enjoyed most by the children who go for treatment.
