mond Crown ought to be dropped, as he was a
fraud, the true inventor being DR.. Beers

paper not to say the Richmond Crown, but the
so-called Richmond Crown.
DR.. Bausman said SO much had
been said of Crowns that it was
almost useless to say any more. He
had noticed an old fashioned way, which he ex-
planned, that he thought was as good as any for
attaching teeth

the subject of crowns and thought that some
methods were better than others for certain
cases. He was glad that so many methods
existed and thought they were all valeable.
