    About thirty years ago there lived in the village of Carrick a man named Tom Newell who was a blacksmith and he practised dentistry. Any local person who got a severe tooth-ache would go to him to have it extraced. H1s method of extracting the tooth was this:- He would put the patient on a few sods of turf and put his or her head under his arm and brutally extract the tooth with a little pincers which he kept for the purpose.
