Case D. L. 4,344. This case is a twelve-year-old girl sent 

 in from one of the State Orphans' Homes for correction of 

 harelip and cleft palate (Illustration IX). She received sur-

 vented the complete correction of the cleft palate condition.

 bined if scientifically cited, but this is a layman's classifi- 

 cation.
