Since that time the doctor ha3 performed several transplanta .ions, on the galloper in an effort to get h'm back to normal, but only with indifferent success until the last one, when he was refitted with a set of bulldog, whose failing teeth have re bulldog, whose failing teeth hae re moved his further need of them.
