(I regret that the radiograph has beenlost.) Neither the second bicuspid nor the second molar had cavities norfillings in them. Considering the evidence of neglect of the mouth andteeth, it was not deemed worth while to try to conserve the teeth. Ac-cordingly the second bicuspid was extracted, which permitted the escapeof considerable watery, brown pus. A doubt then arose as to whetherthe radiograph showed an involvement of the molar

Anotherradiograph (Fig. 253) was made. It shows that the molar is was extracted and more serous pus evacuated.

The cyst was curetted, cauterized and packed withsterile gauze. Healing except from within outward was prevented by theuse of gauze, and the case recovered. Relief from pain and soreness was.
