Abstract: Two men sit facing each other as the one on the right pulls on a string which has been tied around a front tooth of the man on the left. His left foot bent up and braced in the patient's left hand, the large-nosed doctor laughs as he pushes a redhot coal in a pair of large tongs towards the patient's mouth. The patient screams in agony as his head is forced back and to the side, his hand pushing the tongs away
