    Figs. 4, 5, 6, will shew the effects of a screw plate such as described, with but a small amount of attention from the den- list, and that only towards the completion of _ the] casej'when the right lateral was drawn into position, by lacing with rubber dam. (Fig. 7). Case when completed. When inserting such a case in the mouth, the patient should be directed to wear the divided plate for a short time before commencing to separate it, after which he may make one turn of the screw every third or fourth day, so as to ensure constant pressure being kept up. He should also be advised to report himself in from three to four weeks' time or longer, according as a small or large amount of expansion is required, and if the patient has been faithful and performed his part of the contract, a great improvement ought to be visible. When a patient has to come a long distance, this method of treating a contracted arch will be found peculiarly advan- tageous, at any rate from the patient's point of view.
