    PREFACE. To afford information to the Menibers of the pro- fession of Medicine and Surgery upon a subject of considerable importance, and to give the fruits of research and the results of many mechanical ex- periments to the Artists who are engaged in the same avocation as himself is the intention of the writer. When it is considered, that no work like the present exists, and that those whose business it is to remedy defects of the Palate by mechanical means, are, very generally, ignorant of the various improve- ments and modifications which have been made in the apparatus for that purpose, from the time of its first inlroductio7i, the utility of such a publication must be obvious.
