Il GERY.-It has Tor many years been great desi-
deratum among European and American Dentists 10
nufacture TEETH from ineorrnptible materials which
should initiate the artificial living teeth.
Many have devoted years TO unsuccessful experiments,
and others have succeeded in manufacturing Teeth of
terias similar to the porcelain ware, but generally they
have An opaque white appearance By which they east
ly distinguished from the human Teeth.
After long and tedious experiments the subscriber has
succeeded in manufacturing Teeth Of materials entirely
corIptble and perfectly in imitation of human Teeth.
They have semitransparency and are made of various
size and shades.
In cases where absorption of the areoIar process or
other may render it necessary he ll cast of the

From Professor Ducatei.
Having examined some Artificial Teeth prepared by
DIR. F. H. KNAPP and learned from him what are the prn-
cpal ingredients that enter into their composition and the
nature Of the materials by which they colored, am
inclined to think that they will proye as he represents
them to be- incorrupble. DIR. Knapp, having moreover
acquired the art of varying the coors of the enamel
which covers his Artificial Teeth, is thereby enabled
impsrt 10 them natural appearance than such
Teeth usually found 10 possess; circumstance that
will doubtless render them acceptable to the public
