    AUTHOR'S PREFACE When, about fifteen years ago, I began my first experiments in the tightening of loose teeth, I was in- fluenced solely by pity for my patients. Even eminent scientists in the dental art had paid but trifling attention to this branch of dentistry, and the patient was ever given the stereotyped sorrowful answer : ** Lost labour ! loose teeth must drop out. When from such a humane feeling I first undertook the treatment of loose teeth, the literature of the sub- ject was very meagre, and the timid beginner vainly sought advice and counsel from any more experienced master. Subsequently, after many failures, I obtained gratifying results, and I accordingly desire to bring before the profession the result of my many years' researches and work.
