While the Greene Brothers' Prosthetic Course is limited to plate'work, it takes in about all of that much=neglected brancli; and along new lines and advance test methods. By test methods we mean such as enable us to know by actual test in advance what the re- sultant outcome will be. To illustrate my meaning I will suppose you have, for instance, a plate that exactly suits you and its wearer. If you should mold and du])li- cate another one from it, you would know, in ad- vance, just how the new one would be. Bear in mind, I say, if you duplicate the tested plate. Xow, it is proposed to give you a whole course, amounting to a System, of advance=test plate^work methods, covering about all of tlie imjoortant ])oints in the specialty. THREE SEPARATE LECTURES. The Course is generally given in three sep- arate clinic lecture*demonstrations, wherein the principles are taught by reason and analogy, and the ap])lication by showing (from Missouri). Incidentally it becomes necessary to sliow, likewise by reason and ajDplication, that some, and not a few, of the old and commonly used methods are not only defective and faulty, but absolutely erroneous and absurd.
