    There is no end to the story of medical folklore, but I must make an end to it here. The examples I have quoted represent but a fraction of what exist, but they will serve to show how concerned man has been about his teeth through the ages and throughout the world. I will conclude with the words of old Robert Fennel, who terminates his remarks concerning the teeth with the words : — “ But the best remedy for a hollow tooth is to pull him out.”
