A NEW FEATURE IN DENTIsTRY.-Dr.
Thomas, of Detroit, details IN the ''Dental
Cosmos" a case in which he successfully
inserted in the mouth of gentleman, who
had lost right superior cuspidate, solid
and healthy tooth that he had removed
from a woman's mouth four weeks pre-
viously. He opened into the canal and
pulp chamber of the tooth, from the apex
of the root only; cut the end off one-eight
Of an inch lit being that much too long),
reduced the size somewhat in centre of
root lit being tritie larger than the root
extracted), filled and placed it in position.
He says that several dentists were not able
to distinguish the transplanted tooth from
the others. Two features in the case that
he calls particular attention to are: That
although the tooth had been in his office
four weeks, there is no perceptible change
in color, and that the re-attachment is as
perfect as though it had been transplanted
or replaced the same day of extraction.
DR.. Thomas knows of but two obstacles in
the way of the perfect practicability of
"transplanting;;" first, the difficulty of OBJ
tanning the proper teeth at the proper time:
and, second, the possibility of incubation.
The latter is the most formidable of the
two, and, to escape the ills that might
follow, the greatest caution is necessary.
The first difficulty is more easily gotten
over, for it is not necessary that the tooth
transplanted should correspond exactly in
shape and size to the one extracted, if it is
too large, it may be reduced; or, if too
small, new OsseouS deposit will supply the
deficiency.

A venerable citizen who has lived through
four financial panics and gathered wisdom
in all, expresses the opinion that if two
hundred thousand dollars was started at
one end Of Virginia and run through to
the other it would pay all the private in
deptedness of every man in the State who
is not hopelessly bankrupt. But, he
added, it couldn't be forced through; the
first man that Was both creditor and deb
tor for five thousand would stop this sum
in his own hands and leaving his debt I'LL
paid, would invest in land expecting to
pay his debt out Of the profits Of the crop
and retain the land for his share Of the
venture, OF start a store with similar hopes.
And so, the two hundred thousand would
melt before it got out of it's own neighbor-
hood. 1t is the moral tone of the people
that makes debt paying general and easy
matter.
