The subjects which require to be described in this part are four,—the maxillary, or jaw-bones ; the alveoli, or sockets of the teeth; the gums, or i soft sheathing, for the protection of those sockets against hard substances; and the teeth themselves. To each of these a chapter is devoted,—one section consisting of a description of the parts, and another of the diseases to which they are subject.
