Früher wurden die Platten, in denen die Zähne gesetzt sind, nur aus Gold und Silber oder aus Elfenbein geschnitzt, was sie necessarly sowohl schwer als auch teuer machte, wo - wie jetzt - Platten nicht nur aus Gold und Silber, sondern auch aus Platin, Gummi und cellu-Loid gemacht werden.

. History of Wayne, Pike and Monroe counties, Pennsylvania . WAYNE COUNTY. 219 improvements made in this direction, and theirintroduction into general use, have added largelyto both the attractions and difficulties of theprofession, and drawn to it many possessed ofsuperior mechanical skill. Formerly the platesin which the teeth are set were made only of goldand silver or carved out of ivory, which neces-sarily made them both heavy and costly, where-as now plates are made not only of gold andsilver, but also of platinum, rubber and cellu-loid. Rubber plates were not introduced until manor-house of the Avery family is still ownedby its representatives in Devonshire, of whomsome emigrated to this country among the ear-liest of the Puritans.

He earlymanifested the martial spirit of his ancestors, served for a time in the French and IndianWar, all through the Revolutionary War, en-gaged in the occupation of a teacher after theclose of that struggle, and lived to be nearly. about 1854, and celluloid much more recently.The filling of artificial teeth is also a leadingbranch of the science, requiring both skill, judg-ment and delicacy when properly done. The county of Wayne has a number of rep-resentative dentists, who attend assiduously totheir profession and reflect credit upon it.Prominent among them is Dr. Avery. Dr. Otis Avery, of Houesdale, was bornin Bridgewater, Oneida County, N. Y., Au-gust 19, 1808. The family of which he isa member is of English descent, and the old one hundred years of age. John, his sou, wasalso born at Groton. He was a silversmithand watchmaker by trade and followed thatoccupation at New London, Conn. Thence heemigrated to Oneida County, N. Y., wherehe was identified with the earliest settlementand development of that now prosperous sec-tion of country. He married Roxyhanna, daughter of William Humphrey, who alsoserved in the Revolutionary War as a captain.Dr. Avery e
