    Massey s Improvements in Artificial Teeth and Gums, teeth and gums, and also through the metal mouth plate, when one is used, and then rivetted; but the mode of fixing the parts together, as also to the metal mouth plate, when a mouth plate is employed, may be varied, as I do not confine myself to the means of fixing together such teeth and gums. And gums prepared according to my Invention may have applied to them artificial ^ teeth made of other material than that referred to. When the artificial gums are made, as here explained, separately from the teeth, the teeth may be more readily adjusted in length or otherwise, as may be desired, than when formed with the gum. Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details herein mentioned; but what I do claim is,— First, the combining or incorporating with mineral substance to form arti¬ ficial gums of coloring or staining matters, as herein explained. And, secondly, I claim the forming of artificial gums of mineral substance separately from the teeth, and the fixing thereto of suitable teeth, as herein explained. In witness whereof, I, the said William Massey, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eighteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four. 20 WILLIAM MASSEY, (l.s.) Witness, Edw^ J. Massey. LONDON: Printed by Geokge Edwaed Eyre and William Spottiswoode, Printers to the Queen's most Excellent Majesty. 1854.
