I am not aware that there can be much discussion upon a paper of this charac-ter. I do not know that there are any technical objections to the position thatthe paper assumes as to the possibility of moving the teeth in phalanx bodily, thesockets as well as the teeth. If there are any such objections, they must fall beforethe positive evidence of clinical observation. I think the paper shows conclusivelythat as Dr. Farrar remarked, this demonstrates an era of advance in orthopedic Fig. surgery. I think we are most indebted to Dr. Case for an intelligent study of themechanical principles which govern the movements of the teeth by applied force,in connection with the fact which he has demonstrated, of the possibility of movingthe teeth and the processes together.
