lived on liguid nourishment passed
through the tiny aperture between the lips
for years, but recently a tooth fell out of
her jaws and she could not get her mouth
open far enough to get it out. Dr. Hayes

them from growing fast again. While we
learned that the operation, itself, was
quite successful. Its future results will
be a matter of interest to many who have
