ing to swaged plate work, is communicated
to moulded metallic or vulcanizable base.
Strong Plate Teeth as firmly attached to
the base as if soldered to swaged
plate, are, by this process, substituted for
those specially designed for moulded base.
BY their use the operator is left free to ex-
ercise his own judgment in their arrange
ment, and finds himself no longer confined
to the sameness of the present style Of
blocks, or single teeth weakened by cary,
ing for moulded work.
No new appliances are required in this
process. it is easily acquired by any one
familiar with either moulded or swaged
work. 1t gives to the operator confidence
in the reliability OF his cases, exempting
him from the disappointment and per-
piexity often attendant on his most faith
full efforts. 1t renders partial cases as reli-
able as full sets, and, consequently, will
tend to ameliorate the present deplorable
practice of extracting every tooth, sound
or unsound, which stands in the way Of the
latter.
The method has been thoroughly tested,
and is now submitted to the profession
with the assurance that it VIII be found to
fulfill all that is claimed for it. It's results
are highly artistic, very beautiful, and at
ford the utmost satisfaction to operator
and patient.

other rich articles, and sent it to
Boston for safe keeping. The gen.
tleman to whose care it was sent,
placed it in q bank-vault. marked
with his own name and that of the
owner, with memorandum that the
trunk was to remain until called for
by the owner. The owner, after
many years absence in Europe, sup
posing the trunk to be lost or stolen,
never called for it; and now, after a

valuable trunk has been discovered
in o bank in Providence, r. l., and
