A DENTAL CURIOSITY.—There is at present a
a girl about
thirteen years of age, who is in possession of a double row of
teeth in the under Jaw. The two sets of teeth are beautifully
regular, but are not easily noticed unless a hearty laugh
happens. The front and inner teeth have each their fellows ;
and the possessor, as may be supposed,
has good masticatiwg
powers, and feels no inconvenience from her additional ,Itook.
