    readjust the upper teeth to my lower natural ones. While the case, waxed^u]), will, as a whole be cool and rigid, the teeth thereon, themselves, will be slightly warmer so as to give a little in their wax environment. I '11 slip the case into my mouth and bring my jaws together by a no*bite. I '11 finger*pull the teetli down onto my natural lower ones all round till they all touch the way I want them, while at the same time I '11 bite up lightly. Xow all are together, perpendicularly. I '11 hold them so and side=wiggle and sheep=chew (lateral motion), a little. Xext I '11 spit the case out of my mouth and most carefully mouthsblow=pipe tlie sticky wax to the pins of the teeth. This is natural anatom- ical occlusion. Xext I '11 cool it all and scarify the roof of my base*plate a little. And I '11 olive=oil my mouth a little; and take a thin plaster impression (pass-word way), in my adjusted case. I '11 wait till the remnant plaster in my little earthen bowl is hard; and then spit it out again. I '11 be careful not to touch the waxed teeth, for fear I might displace them. Xow, after my plaster impression is dry, I '11 varnish with separating fluid; then soap*stones dust it with soft brush and therein make my final model; of course, this time preferably using the Greene ready-made approximate. Xow, doctors, you see I 've taken my impres- sion in my bite and my occlusion pressures at all same stress; all at once. So there can be no con- flict in them. Xow I '11 set my case in the first half of the flask, seeing there is but little, if any, plaster under it, to disintegrate and change. And here
