Excerpt from The Horse's Mouth, Showing the Age by the Teeth: Containing a Full Description of the Periods When the Teeth Are Cut; The Appearances They Present; The Tricks to Which They Are Exposed; The Eccentricities to Which They Are Liable; And the Diseases to Which They Are Subject 2.

In the absence, however, of positive and corroborated testi mony, the teeth become the best evidence, and that on which reliance should be placed. When opposed to the indications of the mouth, the oath of a single in dividual, for obvious reasons, would be of no weight.
