[59] Occasionally the lateral or accessory incisor may be developed or suppressed on one side only, a fact explaining the occasional occurrence of cases with three or five incisors present.

[72] Trendelenburg objects to the harelip operation being called a life-saving one, on the ground that the inability to gain sufficient nutriment depends rather on the associated cleft palate than on the cleft lip. But if the lip be united efficiently the method of feeding by bottle suggested at p. 66 enables the child to suck and swallow satisfactorily in spite of the palatal defect.

[75] In view of the dilatation of the nasal aperture, which often takes place at a later date, it is advisable to make it at first actually smaller than on the opposite side.

[76] The lower lip may also be kept drawn down and everted by the use of collodion applied longitudinally between it and the chin, thus obviating in part the need of the constant application of the nurse’s finger. This ingenious plan has been suggested and practised by one of the sisters in my wards at King’s College Hospital.

[79] It may be interesting to quote Franco’s own words on this subject:—“Pour l’extirpation de telle turpitude, nous y deuous en premier lieu procéder de la manière que dessus (Cure des leures fendues, ch. 119), hormis que quand les dents et mandibules passent dehors, et que ne peuuent estre couuertes de la bouche, il n’y a point de danger de copper le superflu et ce qui ne sert à rien avec tenuailles incisiues ou auec scie ou autre instrument propre à cest essait, en laissant la chair qui est dessus icelles dents s’il y en a, affin qu’elle serue en cousant les deux autres parties en icelles de chaque costé, et s’il y auoit telle distance entre lesdites leures qu’on ne peut les assembler, il faudrait user de semblables dissections en la bouche qu’au cas précédent, et procéder au reste ainsi qu’auons montré” (Franco, Traité des hernies, &c., cure de dents de lieure, chap. cxxii, Lyon, 1561).
