a perpendicular direction, and from the {tru&ure of the ful- 

 crum, the preflure, not falling on the gum till the tooth is a 

 little railed, is very trifling tor its complete expulfion, by 

 which means the injury of the jaw-bone and contufion of 

 contiguous foft parts are avoided, and, confequently, the moil 

 painful part of the operation. The furrounding gum being 

 previoully feparated by the fcarificator (which accompanies it) 

 from the tooth, that the claw of the inurument may be ap- 

 plied as low down as the alveolar procefs will admit of, the 

 upper part of the fulcrum will, on turning the inftrument, 

 apply itfelf exactly oppofite to the end of the claw; the ope- 

 ration is afterwards performed with the greatefl facility, and 

 my patients have uniformly expreflcd their furprifo at the 

 (light pain they experienced. As the infirument may be 

 fecn at Mr. Whitford's, furgical infirument maker, St. Bar^ 

 tholomew's Hofpital, who is fully competent to give every 

 information refpeeting it, I judge any further delineation of 

 it here unnecellary. 



Should the inltrument T now recommend to the atten- 

 tion of my profeflional brethren meet with their fupport by 

 the reful t of practice, I fhali be amply rewarded for my 

 trouble by the honour of their approbation. 



I am, Sir, 



Your very obedient Servant, 

 To Mr. Tilloch. Richard Reece,
