To meet this condition, which Iattribute to disturbance of the inferiordental nerve, due to removal of the thirdmolar, the following prescription wasgiven: R—Aspirin, gr. 10 Caffein citrate, gr. 2 Phenacetin. gr. 5. M. Ft. cachet, vi. talis. This acted as a sedative, but was foundrather depressing, therefore discontin-ued. The suggestion of a small bottleof stout every day met with the patientscordial approval.

Whenremoved finally at the end of sevenweeks it appeared as shown in Fig. small piece of the external alveolarplate was exfoliated during the sixthweek without any disturbance. Thehealing process of both sockets was en-tirely normal, and without the leastdiscomfort. At the present time—fourteen weeksafter the operation—the replanted toothis in perfect condition, and quite firmin its socket.
