Show A. BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF DENTAL SURG ERT, Just sixty days ago Dr. G. V. Leek of 6 O'Farrell St., Francisco, operated on a young lady ul 15 years, who wad di-iigurvd I by a hair lip and deft pallute with a hole a ' large as a marble. The lip was cut in aller-' aller-' lulling strips; tliesu rips were twisted and ' brought from one side to tlie other and it' wed with strong cat gut ligatures, then covered with adhesion pla.-ter, and lor two ; weeks t lie lady was kept in a dark room ; and feed on soft loud. No person exi-cpl ; her mother being allowed to see her for tear , die might move the muscles ut her lace j and break up the adhesion. A small gnld plate was tilted to Ihe clelt in Hie tnouili ! and attached to leetli on euch side bv gold hands; the teeth around which the "hands were put were covered with gold, ordinary s cold gold crowns so as to prevent unv wear troni the movement of the hand when tho apuraluH is being removed once a duv lo he cleaned. " ': The scar has almost disappeared and the' articulation is purled, j It is not generally known that Dr. Leek can perforin any of these wonderful opera-; lions, painlessly, by ihe use of his local i iinjfsthetic, the same as he uses in the pain- ' less method of tooth extraction, without the use of iiiiy dangerous ga.s sucli as Colton ' gas or laughing gas. We cannot recommend any person going to yun Francisco for dentisirv to any other dentist than Dr. Leek, because in his" building, build-ing, three stories high, he employes nineteen nine-teen expert dentists, and claims "to he the only dentist in the world that perlonns every operation known to the .science of dentistry without going out to call in some specialist not in his employ to asiist or perform per-form the operation if it be very complicated, such as removing a cancer, surgical operation opera-tion for tumors or cleft palate. |
