    Newtons Improvements in Artificial Teeth. placed in the teeth after the first baking or burning process (technically known as biscuiting), by drilling holes in the teeth, and inserting the pins, taking care to pack round the pins within the holes with some of the same composition of which the teeth are made. The teeth may then be subjected to the second burning process, by which they will be finished. The teeth thus made with 5 pins having heads at their outer ends are a new article of manufacture. Having now described this Invention of improvements in artificial teeth, and explained the manner of carrying the same into effect, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, I claim as the Invention secured to me by Letters Patent, as aforesaid, the manufacture of mineral teeth with pins having 10 heads at their outer ends, as and for the purpose herein set forth. In witness whereof, I, the said William Edward Newton, have hereunto set my hand and seal, the Second day of June, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two. * W. E.
