ANCIENT DENTISTRY.
S|'.vi;k.\!, Museums of antiquities have been established at Rome, amoug which is one outside of the L'orto del L'opolo, in which are kept all the objects of interest found without the city limits. Among recent additions to this exhibition is one which possesses a peculiar attraction for dentists who are disposed sometimes to fancy that their profession has made great strides. This object is the skull of an old Roman, in which all the teeth of the upper jaw have been lost or removed, and replaced with artistically made teeth of solid gold. These teeth are set into the eavi'ies left by the natural ones, and in some respects at least are superior to the modern style of attaching to plates.
