We are happy to learn from a Philadelphia paper, that that most rascally disturber of public and private peace-the Toothache, is likely to be "put down." Messrs. Frederick Klett & Co., corner of Second and Callowhill-streets, have an article which will do the business for him. (We ought, probably, to say her, for we believe the old termagant is feminine.) The remedy is called Kreosot; but we dont care what they call it- if it will really drive the toothache out of the world, the inventor ought to be honored with a monument as high at least as Mount Tom. The editors say that the cure is certain and sovereign -no mistake about it. Then let Mr. Klett be forthwith put in nomination for the Presidecy; 'for he has performed an exploit more valuable to his country than the battle of New Orleans, and slain one of her enemies a thousand per cent. more mischievous than were the victors of Waterloo before that battle was fought. We had rather be Mr. K, than to have killed Tecumseh.
