False teeth are popularity suppos-
ed to be a somewhat modern inven-
ton, but this belief has received a
rude shock from certain discoveries
made in the ancient Etruscan city OF
Jalisca. In one of the tombs recent

which was a full set of natural teeth
fastened into the alveoli with golden
ligatures. The tomb dates to the
fifth century before Christ, and the
workmanship displayed in the fast
enings the teeth is of q high order.
