FOR THE MOUTH.

Probably no part of the human anatomy
requires so much attention As the teeth, and
the mouth Of man and woman combined
cost manifold more than tina. of any other
animal. These thoughts were suggested to
reporter yesterday BY the monster display
Of dental curiosities displayed Mr.. Arthur
T. Metcalf, agent of the St Louis dental
mandatory, who had a whole room spread
full of them at the Manhattan hotel yester-
day. The display of false teeth of all shades
to suit Customers suggested the thought that
all is no. gold that giitters. The false teeth
business has increased at Won derful Fate in
the last decade until now probably more
than one half of the people wear false grind
ers. The wonderful variety of dental instru-
ments and Filings in this assortment is won
derful and a mystery to one not in the tooth
business.
