The AMERICAN DENTAL CONFERENCE.-The
American Dental Association is now holding its
annual convention in Boston.
communication was read, on Wednesday,
from DR.. J. Nj. Weber, Of Paris, setting forth
that he had discovered a new and improved
method Of preparing gold for filling teeth He
forwarded with his communication five drachms
OF his preparation, "plastic gold, as he calls it.,
and explains the method Of using it,
An interesting debate was held as to the cause
OF bad teeth, and it was generally conceded that
1t was the action Of acids upon the teeth which
destroyed them; and that cleanliness is the great
preventive against decay and loss. The general
have much to do with healthy teeth AS to the
effect Of alkaies and saleratus upon the teeth
there was a difference Of opinion.
DIR. Severance, Of Great Falls, N. II :, was of the
opinion that IL is the action of acids which causes
the decay Of teeth. He called the attention of the
convention TO the fact that all our organs and
limbs grow strong and healthy by exefc se and
USE and asked why should not the teeth be also
improved by action and work! He favored sort
OF dental gymnastics, to give these organs
strength and vigor. : ....-..
Dr. Townsend, Of Philadelphia, thought that
much good would grow out Of the discussions of
the day, but he thought the speakers had not gone
back to the root OF the matter. He thought when
we went back as far as the King Of Prussia did,
when he prohibited marriages Within certain re.
lationships, we should have done something
These marriages among kinsfolk caused an infe-
rior race OF children, and as long az this is SO,

Yesterday morning Judge Dawson, with Pro.
fessors Barker and De Wees, proceeded to til,

ing medical examination of the person of Mrs
Cunningham, In case she should consent to it, t.
ascertain whether or not she had been delivered

was lying in the bed in an apparently langud
and feeble condition. Her daughters Helen and
GeOrgiana were with her. Judge Dawson made
amined, and DR.. Barker asked her if she was
willing to be examined, to which she replied that
she had no objection on her own part, but de-
clined by the advice of her counsel.
DIR s. III. Catlin, the man concerned with Mrs

from her that she was with child by the late
Harvey Burdell, but that was my inference from
her conversation. ] then firmly believed the fact
was as she stated IT. soon after her acquttal
noticed that her appearance correspondent to the
fact OF her statement. She said that Judge Dean
had told her that if she had a child it would be
heir to the property, and she hoped II would live;

Immediately to No. 81 Bond street and entered
the room; saw her sister, Mrs. Barnes, and Mrs
Cunningham; Mrs. Cunningham was on the bed;
Mrs. Cunningha was undressed and In bed;
she said she was sick and was suffering great
deal of pain; examined her tongue and pulse,
and was satisfied she had had cholera morbus; [
gave her an emetic; did not then any child;
few minutes later she vomited green bile;
soon after examined her person; her abdomen
was In nearly natural state; sato she toaS NOT

about the child, that it had Burdell's nose, but
