SIRGEKV, 



. We have to announce that a confiderable improvement 



has lately been made on the German key for extracting 



teeth. Mr. Charles Brown, furgeon, having for fome time 



part turned his attention to the ftruclure and mechanical 



powers of thofe instruments ufed in the lefier operations of 



forgery, it appeared to him, that, the German-key moil 



commonly in Life, notwithstanding the various improvement^ 



it has undergone, partly by profeffional men, and partly by 



inftrurhent-makers, was not well calculated to extract teeth 



with fafety and eafe. Having had great experience in this 



particular branch of furger'y, he endeavoured, and with fuc- 



cefs, to remedy the defects that were frill obvious in the in- 



ftrument. As the one produced by Mr. Brown poHHTes in 



an eminent degree many advantages over all other;., we mail, 



in a future number, prefent our readers with a defcrr 



of it, which the ingenious inventor has promnea to furnifh 



us with, illuftrated with an engravino;. In the mean time, 



fiich of our readers aswiui for a more early knowledge of its 



ftruclure, mav fee one of them at Mr. Whitford'?, furgeon's
