HA BY CUTS GOLD TOOTH.
The Doctors Declare \tlanta Baby j
Has Priceless Molar.
Eva Catherine Lee's " gold tooth"
bids fair to upset long-established
scientific theories and furnish means
for pathological discussions that may
develop factions in medical circles
throughout the country and establish
her standing as the world's latest and
greatest wonder, says the Georgian
American.
Already three doctors have seen
and declared the glistening molar in
the upper left jaw of the 7-months-old
child of Mrs. Xora Lee, at 117 Oc?
' -l 1 ,1
muigee street, to oe 501a. oc?ci?i
others have branded the claims of
these three as impossible. But the
striking fact stands forth that only
one of the scoffers lias examined the
tooth, and he is not a dentist.
Interest in Eva Catnerin's tooth
heightened Saturday when Dr. Marion
S. Tribble, D. M. D., professor of dental
histrology at the Atlanta Southern
Dental College, made an expert
examination of the molar and immediately
pronounced it to be gold. Dr.
Tribble, who is one of the leading
women experts in dental science in
the south, made her test with the aid
of magnifiers and scientifis appliances.
Declares Tooth is Gold.
"The tooth is positively gold!'" she
exclaimed immediately after she had
made her first preliminary examination.
A second test caused her to reitery
ate her statement.
"There is absolutely 110 doubt in
my mind but this tooth contains
gold," the said. "The great question
now is to determine how it came to
contain gold. The child is too nervous
and fretful for me to use dental
explorers at this'time, so I can not
determine if the gold is a part of the
tooth's composition or merely particles
of the metal stuck to the surface.
She then questioned the child's
mother as to whether or not she had
been allowed to bite while teething on
any gold article, such as a ring or
bracelet. No such incident could be
recalled by Mrs. Lee.
"The tooth is not a normal molar,
and appears to be without a normal
formation," continued Dr. Tribble. "I
intend to see the child again in a few
days, as soon as it has recovered from
the nervous shock of having its
mouth opened so often for persons to
gaze on its contents, to ascertain if
the tooth has a normal surface of
enamel or is a chalky structure of
soft dentine found sc often in badly '
developed teeth. Then I can sa> positively
whether or not the gold grew
there or stuck just after it, cut 1
1 through the gum by the child biting 1
some gold object. . ^
*' Suggestions Absurd.
"Statements that the child may ?
Tiave developed this gold tooth by j
'-swallowing some gold object when j
very young is aosura. Any iure gu
substance of metal swallowed in that ;
way would pass out through the j
bowels in a normal way, and intact. ,
The human body is not a machine to j
manufacture metals into useful or ?
artistic objects. j
"It would also have been Impos- j
sible for the tooth to have come as a 1
result of the mother swallowing a (
particle of pold during pregnancy
when she had dental work done. The ^
body of the mother would no more 1
be able to direct the metal into the (
developing form of an infant than j
tthe body of the infant itself.
, Dr. N. 0. Tribble, M. D.. husband
of the dentist and himself professor
of bacteriology at the Atlanta Southern
Dental College, was also present
and, while he did not make a close
examination of Eva Catherine's
mouth, he vouscliafed the ipnion ,
that no emotional strain had ever
been known by niedical science to
have resulted in such a development
-- - TT _ 1
as a birthmark in a child, ne aisu
said any admission of metallic particles
intc the mother during, or before
preg- ncy or to the body of the
infant, resulting in a similar development,
was likewise unknown.
The first declaration that the tooth
contains gold was made by Dr. J. O.
Brantley, who examined it with a
magnifying glass and with his fingers
and advanced the theory that
prenatal influence was the only plausible
solution he could offer. The
second claim was made by Dr. S. F.
West, who examined it after Dr.
Brantley.
Sure It Is Gold.
"I am sure it is gold," both of
these diagnosticians said. "It is
about an eighth of an inch in diameter
and the gold is spread over a
portion of its surface similar to an
inlaid filling," continued Dr. Brantley.
"It is a discoloration of the enamel
or of the dentine shining through
the enamel," said Dr. R. L. Hood, a
practicing physician who was the
first to examine the tooth.
Although the tooth only broke its
way through Eva Catherine's gums
last Thursday morning, Dr. Thomas

WOMEN NEED NOT SERVE.
Attorney Ocneral Says Constitution
Calls for 12 Men on Jury. 1
Columbia. Sept. ?Sam H.
Wolfe, attorney general, this afternoon
handed down an opinion in
which he holds that women of South
Carolina are not available for petit
jury duty in the circuit courts.
Mr. Wolfe points out that "sectfon
22, article ">, of the Constitution prescribes
that the petit jury of the Circuit
court shall consist of twelve
men." Mr. Wolfe also explains that
the ratification of the nineteenth,
amendment does not affect this.
The opinion, was given to J. L. Perrin,
clerk of court in Abbeville county.
In writing to Mr. Wolfe, the Ah
beville county officer explained that
as jury lists are made in December
from books of registration it is important
that this question be determined.
What is home without an Edison?
Under our easy payment plan, you
can own a machine and never know
the difference. W. H. CHANDLER.
W. Brock, dentist, who has not seen
the molar, said Saturday that in his
opinion the enamel had worn off and
the dentine had assumed a golden
appearance as a result of some acid
condition of the child's stomach.
Dr. Brock based his opinion on the
report of a well-known surgeon who
saw the tooth and reported to him,
but who wanted his name withheld.
While different physicians advance
different theories as to the cause of
the tooth's containing gold or being
discolored to resemble the precious
metal, no one has offered any explanation
as to whether any particular
act or shock received by the mother
during pregnancy could have resulted
in such an unique birthmark on her !
child.
Mrs. Lee admitted that she had
two gold crowns adjusted in her own
mouth two and a half months before
Eva Catherine was born. Several of
the doctors have taken the position
that this was too late to cause a prenatal
development in the child, Dr.
Hood was most emphatic in his declaration
that such a result would
nave oeen lmpcssioie.
Ot,hers attributing the phenomenon
to a prenatal act fail to go further
than to say that it is only possible
or plausible solution they can offer.
Open Minded as to Cause.
The three doctors who have pronounced
the tooth to contain gold are
9 %
still with open minds as to the cause.
All of them contend nothing in medical
or dental history has ever recorded
a similar occurence and none
of them will deny that sometinfe and
somewhere, or maybe even now all
former medical precedent is to be
upset by the unusual caper of a blue3yed
girl baby, who does not understand
why so many serious looking
people insist on peering into her pret:y
mouth.
On the advice of Dr. N. 0. Tribble,
Mrs. Lee Saturday stopped exhibiting
Eva Catherine's tooth to callers, '
who began to increase after publica- g
:ion of her strange possession Friday,
rhe child appeared nervous and worn *
from the ordeal of having her mouth J
pried open so often. Her mother, 1
likewise was wearied by the continuous
stream of visitors. j
"We have never had very much
?old in our lives, but this is a case of !
too much gold," she said to the first *
i
caller refused the privilege of seeing j
he molar. "Eva Catherine might well \
wish she had no tooth at all rather =
than to have the first piece of real
gold cause her so much trouble and
bother."
