A DENTAL CURIOSITY.
The Set of Artificial Teeth That Wash
inqton Endured.

The Set of Artificial Teeth That Wash
ington Endured.
1t may not be generally known that
the Father OF His Country was one OF
the first Americans to wear artificial
teeth. BY the time the war of the
Revolution had ended he had parted
company with most of the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
and dentist of New York city
undertook the then unusual task of re-
equipment and produced at length a
full set of artificial teeth. These are
now, of course, dental curiosity and
offer an additional proof of the heroism
of our first president, for it is n matter
of fact that General Washington wore
those teeth for many years and, so far
as we know, never complained of them.
The teeth were carved from ivory
somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three
large clamps in particular figure con-
spicuously in the roof of the mouth
and must have caused difficulty, II not
anguish. There We're an upper and an
under set, and the two We're connected
and held in position relatively by a
long spiral spring on each side, says
Harper's Weekly.
Nevertheless Washington wore them
long and we'll, a fact sufficiently attest
ed by the worn and dintcd condition of
both teeth aud plate.
AT the last account these teeth We're

Eighteen years ago l ordered that
