Teeth That Won’t Stop Growing.

One of the most extraordinary cases known to dental science is that of a Virginia man whose teeth won’t stop growing. About five months ago he discovered that his teeth were becoming longer and more prominent. He consulted a dentist, who-advised him to have them trimmed. He did so, and soon after they began to grow faster than at first. He had them sawed off again, but they continued to grow. The best doctors were called in. but none can tell the cause of this strange affliction. At this time his teeth are almost an inch long and are turning backward in his mouth, so that eating is difficult; hence there are fears that the disease may result fatally.
