vo IMPLANTATION OF TEETH,
Tr it is true, as medical men assert, that one can
have teeth replanted which have been accidentally re-
moved, it may be of use to some reader, sometime, to.
know their statements regarding the matter. These.
are from a paper on this subject read by Dn Abbott,”
of New York, before the New York Academy of Medi- |
“cine, and printed in the Medical Record :—
“Teeth, which had long been out of the mouth,
have been inserted into artificial sockets made in the
jaw, and. have become, to all -appearance, good,
healthy, and servicable teeth. Into the socket from
which a decayed tooth has been extracted, a sound
"tooth, taken from another jaw, has been inserted,
- dnd, being held in for a time with ligatures, has
united fully with the tissues of the socket. This
has occasionally. been done for two centuries, and
possibly much longer. Ambroise Paré says in his
* work published in 1561: —
“<I have heard it represented’ by a credible person ;
that he saw a lady of the prime nobility, who, instead
of a rotten tooth she drew, made a ‘sound tooth—
drawn from one of her waiting-maids at the same -
time~to be substituted and inserted; which tooth,
in process of time, as it were taking root, grew 80 |
firm as thatshe could chew upon it as well as upon
any of the rest.’

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The scene that ensued when Joseph made himself known
to his-brethren can be better imagined than described or
pictured. His greatest anxiety pow was that they should
‘hasten back to the land of Canaan, a distance of 300 miles,
and bring hither their father, and his entlve family—chi'dren
and grand-children. In order that they might know bfoe-
hand for a surety that they would not -be without a re-
gion of country to dwell in, he promised them the land of
Goshen, a stall but very fertile district between the eastern
channel of the Nile and the desert, the modern province of
es Shurkiyeh, still the richest in the land of Egypt. The
distance from the Egyptian capital, = where Joseph was, to
Goshen, is about 80 miles.
Joseph promised his father's family a goodly land to. o dwell
in, and Pharaoh supplemented this generous provision with
a promise that they should be Liberally provided with house- |
hold utensils, agricultural implements, or other: articles, so

The rapid increase in population of Jacob's posterity in
Egypt bordered on the marvelous, Beginning with about
eighty souls when they settled fn Egypt, they multiplied to
‘that extent that in about two hundred and fifteen years they | |
numbered upwards of 600,000, independently of old men, .

But soon after Joseph's death, a king arose who disup-
proved of the system of government instituted by Joseph, |
and haughtily refused to acknowledge the obligations under
which the whole land of Egypt was laid to this eminent prime
minister of one of his predecessors. - Manetho, au Egyptian
historian of the third century, relates that anclently Egypt
had suffered terrible oppressions from the shepherd-kings;
and we may conclude that Pharaoh reasoned that as the
children of Israel were of the same occupation, {. e., shep- |
herds; and that as they were foreigners, and multiplying
with wonderful rapidity, his country was really in danger
from them; and as he stated * That when there falleth out
any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against
us. n

© «The Egyptians contrived a variety of ways to afflict the |
Israelites; for they enjoined them to cut a great number of
channels for the river, and to build walls for their cities and
ramparts, that they might restrain the river, and hinder its
waters from stagnating upon its overrunning its own banks;-
they set them also" to build pyramids, and wore them out,
