This pain canbe controlled by taking saturated solution of bicarbonateof soda and immediately following with wine of opium overthe gum. Cases of pericemental tenderness, usually followingcrowning of teeth, can be promptly relieved with Dr. Buckleysliniment, applied locally over affected gum area.

In many of the cases of badly broken down cuspids andincisors coming under our observation, the bite is such thatthe use of porcelain for the restoration of corners is con-traindicated; not that we do not possess adequate skill, butthe limitation of the tensile strength of porcelain is such thacwe feel that such a restoration will ultimately result in a fail-ure. This is especially true where the patient is of a vigoroustemperament and a pipe-smoker. It is the purpose of this article to deal with those caseswherein the process of decay has gone to the point wheredevitalization is indicated as a conservative operation, al-though the inlay method herein described may as readily beapplied where the pulp is vital, retention being attained, aswith the porcelain filling, without the screw-post. We will take as our first illustration a superior centralincisor having a very large mesio-i
