He found an ulcer as large as a quarter of a dollar, extending from the molar teeth to within one third of an inch of the middle line, and encroaching slightly on the soft palate, and some diseased bone.
第38页 - The entire left upper jaw was removed from the first bicuspid tooth to just beyond the last molar, and nearly up to the middle line.
第20页 - Democrats on a platform demanding the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.

Dr. EG Janeway, of New York; Dr. O'Reilly; Dr. John F. Erdmann, Dr. Bryant's assistant; and Dr. Hasbrouck had also secretly gone to the yacht.
