Freak Of hhtute Of Rare OeCuFPeHce.
PHILADELPHIA, January "a "A freak Of
nature, recalling shakespeare's reference
to Richard III was the birth OF child Of
Thomas and Eleanor McManns with three
teeth already Cnt, two OF which, the lower
incisors, were perfectly formed and as
large as those OF year old child, and the
other o canine tooth on the left edo Of the
lower Jaw. In bis examination Of the
mouth the doctor found that 0ne oil the
inCisors was not tightly inbedded In the

causing trouble he renewed 1t. The baby
quietly submitted TO the operation and
seemed TO eDjty II, as II C0oed all the
