138 CHEOPLASTIC METHOD OF MOUNTING TEETH. 



facsimile of tlie piece broken can be obtained, 

 ground to its position, and fastened by pouring 

 the metal ^bout it hot enough to unite with the 

 plate, a point always easily secured. It is then 

 dressed down so as to leave no indication of the 

 repair. 



To give some indication of the extent of the 

 use of this process in America, I would state that 

 there have been sold between 300 and 400 rights, 

 and that, during the year 1858, over 300 lb. of 

 the metal was sold by the agents. This year, 

 thus far, the increase has been much greater, and 

 will no doubt reach 600. 



However, this statement you have doubtless 

 seen made by others, as found in the last edition 

 of Harris's '' Principles and Practice," in his trea- 

 tise on cheoplasty. 



The very small amount charged for the right 

 of use, the inexpensive character of everything 

 employed, the entire absence of new implements 

 or machinery of any kind, the liberal and unquali- 

 fied indorsement of its advantageous use by men 

 whom we all know and respect ; and also the fact 

 that its adoption will save to its users several 

 times its cost the first year, are, with those named, 

 a few of the leading advantages of this process, 

 expressed within the exact limits of facts from 

 experience.
