HIS THIRD SET OF TEETH.
Aged Buffalo Resident Makes Surprising
Discovery.

OecOvcry.
William Holmlund, Of 464 South Dr.
vision street, Buffalo, n. Y, who is "a
years old, is cutting his third set of
teeth. Mr.. Holmlund is well known on
the east side and in business circles, be-
ing retired wall paper merchant. He
is q native of Sweden, but has lived in
this country and in Buffalo for many
years. Up to eight years ago Mr.. Holm
lund had the use Of his second set OF
teeth. He he'd a number left, but they
had passed the stage of practical use
fitness. He got along as best he could
for a couple of years, then had the re-
manning teeth extracted. and q set of
false ones made. About two weeks ago
his gums began to annoy him. They
were sore along the edges, both cp the
upper and on the lower jaw. He Thought
his false teeth were the cause OF tho
soreness, that they had set up an irrt-
tation which would pass away in day
or two. He did without his artificial
teeth for a few days, but the soreness,
instead of abating, increased.
One morning last week, when the
septuagenarian arose, his gums were so
sore that he could not refrain from TAX
ing smell mirror and examining the
interior of his mouth. With the g1ass
he made discovery that amazed him.
It also amused him, although it panied
him. Protruding slightly from the mid
die of has upper gum was neat, white
tooth. Mr.. Holmlund dressed and broke
the news TO tho family. They would not
believe until they had seen. Their e1-
animation revealed that there were
others, but they were not through, al
though close to the surface. Each day
since then new teeth have been appear
ing on both the upper and the lower
jaws, and Mr.. Holmlund is now the pos
sessoY Of half dozen brand new teeth.
One on the lower jaw is SO far developed
that its owner is able to use it.
