which included the use of suppositories and saline enemas in an effort to uncloud the patient’s mind, thus rendering him more suscep- tible to the implantation in his cranium of basic scientific and technical data. After con- sultation with Drs. Bishop, Zimmermann and Hill, however, it was decided that oral surgi- cal procedures should be instituted, at which time permission was granted from Dr. D. Lamar Byrd and this photograph was taken. (Fig. C) The oral approach proved to be unsuccessful, and the patient was required to spend most of the remaining year confined in various laboratories. (Fig. D) This face mask (moulage), Fig. E, was taken during his third year here, at which time the patient was assigned to physical therapy and oral rehabilitation in the operative, crown and bridge and prosthetic clinics. Therapy in these departments caused much physical pain and anguish, as can be seen from the expression on the moulage. Finally, after four years of treatment, which included therapy by every doctor on the staff of BDC, the patient was released. The patient has supposedly undergone a cure for his origi- nal affliction of dumbness in the area of dentis- try. He has been given an unconditional D.D.S. release from BDC (Fig. F), and in departing was admitted to OKU (Omicron Kappa Upsi- lon) for an annual check-up. After several months, the above patient is at this time completely free from any symptoms and is currently residing in a city to the southeast of Dallas where he applies some of the principles and techniques he learned at this institution in an effort to alleviate the dental sufferings of other members of the human race. —Case Closed— Fig. E Fig. F (Below)

Figure A Figure B This twenty-five-year-old white male was first admitted to Baylor Dental College in an ambulatory state in September, 1960. On admission, the chief complaint was a dumbness in the area of dentistry. Family history concerning the problem was negative. Past history included four years of confinement at Baylor University in Waco in preparation for his treatment at this institution. On release from the institution in Waco Dr. McCarthy and staff agreed, after much pleading and persuasion by the patient, to undertake the solution of the problem here. During his first year at BDC, Drs. Biggs, Wagner and Matthews attended to gross abnormalities present in the anatomical, biochemical and histological makeup of the patient. The above photographs were taken, respectively, during and after completion of an oral anatomic evaluation by Dr. Biggs which proved to be a com- plete failure. (See Fig. A and Fig. B). During his second year the patient had been suffering from acute pathological and physiological insufficiency most of the year (Allbright’s Syndrome, etc.). Mr. Smith from the Baylor Hospital Pharmacy, suggested an approach to the problem Figure C Figure D
