NO MOKE FALSE TEETH
A report from W&tbinaton say.:— A man about forty y_av. -short, pleasant faced and with the keen appear ac e of an epicure — was watched with gre t interest tbia morning by a roomful oi dentists at the Franklin School Balldiig as he performed a oHnic m opera iv dentistry upon a portly Englishman who lay baok m the dental ch-ir. The olinii was a praotioal demonstration of the art of implanting teeth. The man waa D William J. Younger of San Francisco, anr tbe operation was the result of a diuputi between the dentist from the Golden Scat, and an English dentist who had st mttj asserted his disbelief m the praotioabtlit j of planting a tooth m a a man's mouth I and making it grow there. The d input » Wis ao warm that the Englishman offered himself aa a subjeot If no other person oonld be found to be operated upon. I was not found necessary, however, to hold him to his promise, as a fellow-country* mti was secured. It is claimed that although a man may bave been without his natural teeth for years, the process Dr Younger has discovered will allow sonnd teeth to be Inserted m tbe place of tbe lost ones, and thus do away wl h f*ls. teeth. Diseased teeth can also be re* moved, oleaosed and replaced. Tbe operation is thus briefly described by one of the dentists pre.ent — 'Dr Youngetake. a sound tooth, corresponding m apses to tha hole left by the missing tooth, ligatea the gun, and separates it from the alvlal process, and drills a o»vity Into whioh he plaoes the tooth and then li^ates it to another tooth t. retain it m position.' In the operation a right and left lateral tooth were successfully implanted.
