Strong J'late Teeth as firmly attached to. . tho base us if soldered to swaged plate, aro. by thia process, substituted for those specially deaigned for moulded base. Ry their uso t'?.o operator is left freo to ex? ercise his ovn judgment in their arrange? ment, and finds himself no longer confined to tho samenoas of the present Btyle of blocks, or single teeth weakened by carv? ing for moulded work. No now appliances aro required in thia procesa. It is easily acquired by any one familiar with either moulded or swaged work. It givea to tho operator confidence in the reliability of his cases, exempting him from the disappointment and per? plexity often attendant on bia moat faith? ful efforts. It renders partial cases as reli? able as full Bots, and, consequently, will tend to ameliorate tho present deplorable practice of extracting every tooth, Bound or unsound, which stands in tho way of tho latter. Tho method has been tboronghly tested, and is now submitted to the profession with thc assurance that it will bo found to fulfill all that ia claimed for it. Its results are highly artistio, very beautiful, and af? ford the utinoat satisfaction to operator and patient.
