Hello,

I am looking for a reference to "Waterloo teeth" in Mark Twain's work.  I
believe I was browsing a Mark Twain collection when I ran across this
expression a few years ago.  In the context it was only a passing comment
but I think it was an allusion to a practice of collecting teeth from a
battlefield to be used in making dentures.  I have since re-read all of Mark
Twain's short stories and essays.  I have also scanned several of his books
without success.  Can anyone help me with this?
