DE DENTITIONE,HALLER, ii. p. 123.
TRAITÉ DE LA DENTITION,GARDEIL, ii. p. 476.

Though this is of a spurious origin, it is considered as a good practical treatise, and much in character of the Hippocratic writings. It speaks of numerous aphthous ulcerations, the accompaniments of infancy. It may be stated concisely, to give a detail of the state of children before, and at the period of dentition, and of the crises and prognosis derived from such state, as shown by the character of nutrition, the excretions of stool and urine, vomiting up of the milk, &c., dentition, and its symptoms, and the various aphthæ and ulceration of the mouth and fauces. It occupies but a single chapter.—Ed.
