"Not by any means; John Bull has at

OF sutta-perchi, porcelain or metal, as
the case may be. AT the roof of the
false tooth holes are made. Holes are
also made upward into the jaw. The
tooth is then placed in the cavity.
In short time q soft, granuiated
growth finds its way from the patients

growth gradually hardens and holds
the tooth in position. 1t is stated that
it does not matter whether the cavity

from which a natural tooth has been
recently drawn or whether it has been
healed for some years.
