■■ J i^' ,w>^^- ^^ f L:i2ijj:?? T FOREWORD HE Panama- Pacific Dental Congress was primarily conceived as Dentistry's contribution to the celebra- tion of the opening of the Panama Canal. As the great water-way which now unites the Atlantic and Pacific — bringing nearer the East and West — contributes to a better understanding of men and nations engaged in travel and trade, so — it is expected — will this Congress of Dentists, representing so many countries and branches of the Science, do much to bring about a more perfect profes- sional brotherhood, and to disseminate the results of that knowledge, experience and skill which Dental Medicine brings for the alleviation of pain and the conservation of oral health. This book is the Official Program and Souvenir of the Congress. The arrangement of the papers and clinics will be, for obvious reasons, subject to change, and a Daily Bulletin will be issued containing the day's program. Appreciation and thanks are expressed to Mr. Robert Newton Lynch, Mr. Frank Morton Todd, The San Fran- cisco Chamber of Commerce, the Publicity Bureau of the Panama - Pacific Exposition, Sunset Magazine and the World Traveller De Luxe for much of the interesting data relative to San Francisco and the Exposition. — Program Committee.

History of the Organization and Promotion of the Panama-Pacific Dental Congress ii m By Dr. Frank L. Platt N January 10, 1910, at a meeting of the San Fran- cisco Dental Association, resolution was adopted, providing for the appoint- ment of a committee to take the initial steps to- ward holding a dental congress, interna- tional in character, in San Francisco, dur- ing the period of the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition, and appropriating the sum of one hundred dollars to meet the expenses of the committee in the discharge of its duties. At the February meeting of the society the personnel of the committee was an- nounced as follows: Chairman, Dr. W. A. L. Knowles; Mem- bers, Dr. Frank L. Platt, Dr. Guy S. Mill- berry, Dr. James G. Sharp and Dr. Charles E. Post. This committee met at various times dur- ing 1910 and 1911 to devise ways and means for promoting the congress and finally called a convention of delegates representing the dental societies of Oregon, Washineton, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Califor- nia, to form a representative committee of organization to promote the interests of the congress. This convention met on March 14, 1913, adopted by-laws, and elected officers as fol- lows: Dr. Frank L. Platt, Chairman; Dr. Arthur M. Flood, Secretary; Dr. W. A. L. Knowles, Treasurer. It was decided that these officers, with twelve directors, constitute the officers and board of directors of the committee. Of the twelve directors, five were to be chosen from the members of the profession resid- ing near San Francisco to facilitate secur- ing a quorum at meetings of the commit- tee, one from Southern California, and one from each of the Pacific Coast States rep- resented in the convention. These directors were to be elected by the dental societies of their respective States. Drs. H. G. Chappel, J. L. Pease, Fred G. Baird, R. B. Giffen and A. M. Barker were elected to the directorate. Reports of several sub-committees of the original committee were read and discussed, the membership fee was fixed at ten dollars, and it was voted that the organization incor- porate in order to facilitate the transaction of business. The delegates to the convention and the original committee of organization having performed the duties entrusted to them, passed out of official existence and the Com- mittee of Organization of the Panama-Pa- cific Dental Congress assumed full control of the destinies of the organization. At the first meeting of the Committee of Organization committees were appointed on revision of by-laws and incorporation whose reports were adopted at later meetings. On the advice of the attorney for the board, it was decided that the corporation to be formed consist of only five members rather than the whole committee of organization, that it have a distinctive title and have full control of the finances of the congress. In pursuance of this plan, the incorporation of the Pacific Dental Congress Commission of 1915 was effected with the following of- ficers: (Dr. W. A. L. Knowles resigning as Treasurer of the Congress and declining to strve as Treasurer of the Commission) ; Dr. Frank L. Platt, President; Dr. Arthur M. Flood, Secretary ; Dr. Fred G. Baird, Treas- urer, and Dr. R. B. Giflfen and Dr. Joseoh Loran Pease. The adoption of the plan of incorporation abolishing the office of Treasurer of the Committee, the office of Yice-Chairman was created in order to maintain the required number of offices and provide for emergen- cies and Dr. W. A. L. Knowles was elected Vice-Chairman of the Committee of Organi- zation. The only stock issued was one share to each member of the corporation, which, un- der its charter, was empowered to issue three thousand debenture bonds of the value of ten dollars each. The funds derived ij>\~- #.?^.. from their sale are to be used to promote and finance the congress with the under- standing that when the duties of the cor- poration are performed, its debts paid and the congress closed, any sum remaining in the treasury shall be divided pro rata among the holders of the debentures. In order to bring these matters to the attention of the profession, a mass meeting was held in San Francisco, April 29, 1912, at which time the purposes of the Committee of Organization and the Corporation were explained. At this meeting twelve memberships in the congress were taken and two thousand one hundred and thirty dollars subscribed for debentures. At a meeting of the committee held on August 17, 1912, Dr. Frank L. Piatt and Dr. A. M. Flood were appointed delegates to attend the meeting of the National Den- tal Association at Washington, D. C, and were instructed to invite that organization to adjourn its regular 1915 meeting to meet with the Panama-Pacific Dental Con- gress in San Francisco. This invitation was accepted and the congress given most sub- stantial encouragement by the National As- sociation. To carry out the general plan of publicity of the congress, executive committees were appointed in practically every state and country in the world, their duties being to bring the congress to the attention of their state and local societies, secure memberships and contributions to program. The dentists of the state of Colorado failing to take an active part in the organization and having elected no director. Dr. H. A. Fredrick of San Fran- cisco was elected a Director and member of the Committee of Organization. At a meeting of the committee held in Oakland, Cal., June 4, 1913, the question of the election of permanent officers of the con- gress was discussed, and it was determined in view of the unpleasant circumstances at- tending the election of officers of the Fourth International Congress held at St. Louis, Mo., that such an election be held at once. The following officers were then elected : President, Dr. Frank L. Piatt, San Fran- cisco, Cal. ; Vice-President, Dr. Chas. M. Benbrook, Los Angeles, Cal. ; Secretary, Dr. Arthur M. Flood, San Francisco, Cal. ; Treasurer, Dr. Fred G. Baird, San Fran- cisco, Cal. At the meeting held on August 30, 1913, the resignation of Drs. Knowles and Bar- ker were accepted and Dr. C. F. Jarvis of Oakland, Cal., and Dr. T. Sydney Smith, Palo Alto, Cal., were elected to succeed them, and Dr. Arthur W. Chance of Port- land, Ore., was elected Vice-Chairman of the Committee of Organization. A vast amount of correspondence has been carried on by the committee in securing exhibits, memberships and program for the con- gress, but the results obtained seem to have justified the expense and labor involved. The dental journals of the world have been most generous in giving their pages for the publication of data relating to the congress and have promoted its interests quite materially. Manufacturers and deal- ers everywhere have responded to the in- vitation to exhibit at the congress and given it their generous support. The of- ficers and members of the executive com- mittees and of the sections into which the congress is divided have labored long and earnestly to make its sessions notable, and the program of which this is a part tells the story of their success. This history from necessity is brief. It embodies but an outline of the work of the various commit- tees of the congress but is printed in the hope that it will suffice and in the knowledge that it, unlike some histories — so far as it goes — tells the truth. M ■zr Dentistry in America By Guy S. Mii.lberry, D. D. S. jT*"'. " " O epitomize the facts, • which as an expression of public opinion, have given America recognition as be- ing foremost in dentistry today, requires an encyclo- I pedic training which few dare presume to possess, and it is with much hesi- tancy and perturbation that the writer as- sumes the responsibility of presenting this information in the limited allotted space. What events stand out pre-eminently as causative factors in this achievement? Who among the character builders of this nation, by their influence and ability, molded the makers of modern dental science? What institutions were the cradles of American genius? What thoughts, what ideas were responsible for our remarkable growth? The omniscient mind, master over all things, is responsible for a national ideal- ism, represented in the character of a peo- ple. Occasionally digressions from the usual march of progress stamp with a cer- tain individualism the people of one nation or another, an individualism that stands out pre-eminently as a possession of its own, and America can well be proud of the digression which has led our people into a field of usefulness toward an individualism acknowledged throughout the world for its standards of efficiency. Not alone have American dentists achieved distinction in other lands, but American institutions have educated persons of foreign birth who have returned to their native lands to dis- seminate American ideas amongst their fellowmen. A discussion of the importance of good dentistry or a review of the history of den- tistry in America cannot be even briefly dwelt upon in presenting the facts which stand out boldly as creative influences dur- ing the last century or indicating the progress of dental science in recent years. The Panama-Pacific International Expo- sition, responsible for the holding of this Congress, is intended to portray the more recent events in the progress of our nation, yet I feel it would not be too presumptu- ous to go back to a period well within the last century, when Hayden and Harris con- ceived the idea of making dentistry a liberal profession and proposed to elevate it to a position where the appellation of "a den- tist" would not be a reproach, in discussing the recent events in our progress. The '40's stand out as an epoch-making decade in American dentistry, encompass- ing within that decade the organization of the first dental school, dental association and dental journal, and the application of nitrous oxide and ether in producing anes- thesia, as some of the most significant things in our history. California, whose hospitality you are enjoying, dated its re- birth in this same decade with the discov- ery of gold in 1848. Names do not stand for much except as they reveal character, and when character develops so as to be an inspiration for good to all who come within the sphere of its influence, it represents the highest de- gree of individualism. The desire on the part of Doctors Hayden and Harris to pro- vide better educational facilities for tho.se who desired to practice dentistry, and the character of these two men is in a very large sense responsible for our present posi- tion. Eugenics teaches us that the best traits of character and the best strains in physical development are worth cultivating and perpetuating. If we are to believe in eugenics, and recent progress in the do- main of plant and animal husbandry prove its verity; if we believe in Mendelian the- ories with regard to hereditary strains ; then the impulses and desires of Hayden and Harris were only the expression of will formed through the development of their character and that of their ancestors. Horace H. Hayden (1768-1844) after gratifying his wanderlust by taking several sea voyages, embarking in business in the West Indies and serving as an architect's apprentice, had occasion at the age of 24 to consult John Greenwood for professional services, and becoming interested in the science, studied dentistry after the meth- ods in vogue at that time. How many young men of today are influenced by simi- lar relationships in adopting dentistry as a profession ? He began practice for himself in Balti- more in 1804, and in substantiating his faith in higher education he continued his studies in medicine, receiving honorary de- grees from Jefferson Medical College, Phil- adelphia, and the University of Maryland. His predominating opinions were that a better scientific training was necessary for the practitioner of dentistry. His ideals, to which may be added a ripe experience and mature judgment plus the enthusiasm and vigor of his younger colleague. Doctor Chapin A. Harris, were without doubt the most potent factors in creating that trinity which stands now as the distinguishing in- fluence in American dentistry. Doctor Harris (180G-1860), after reach- ing maturity, pursued the practice of medi- cine, surgery and dentistry in various locali- ties in Ohio and part of the time as an itinerant dentist, making favorable impres- sions wherever he traveled, finally locating in Baltimore. Not the least important event in his professional career is the work he accomplished in assisting Doctor Hay- den, aided by others, in establishing the first dental school in this country, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. This institution, incorporated February 1, 1840, with five students in attendance during the first session is the prototype of American schools which have done so much toward building character into American dentistry. Second in the trinity is the dental jour- nal. Transportation and the modern means of communication, aided by utilizing elec- trical energy, have enabled us as individu- als to learn of conditions in other parts of the world in the briefest spaces of time, but the art of printing has been the great- est single factor in the dissemination of knowledge that ever existed. The influence of Samuel W. Stockton, one of the manufacturers of porcelain teeth, who issued a monthly advertising sheet, Stockton's Dental Intelligencer, the prototype of our present-day trade jour- nals, must be respected. Advertising liter- ature of the present day. however, is a serious menace rather than possessing a value because of the erratic statements published, which are not borne out by ex- perimental or clinical evidence. Journals of today, so influential in the distribution of knowledge, are dependent upon trade support, as those published by manufacturing concerns, or upon member- ship subscriptions as those fostered by den- tal organizations. The American Journal of Dental Science, first published in New York, was one of the pioneers in the field. Doctors Hayden and Harris are also cred- ited with being responsible for the publica- tion of the first dependable dental journal. There were about 500 copies of each num- ber published. The expense was main- tained by pledged amounts and subscrip- tions from about 175 dentists. This jour- nal ran through three series, the first being under the supervision of a publishing com- mittee and the second under the direction of Chapin A. Harris as editor and propri- etor. The Dental Nczvs Letter and its succes- sor, the Dental Cosmos, is one of the leading dental journal of America, a posi- tion it has held for practically the full period of its existence, since October, 1847. The new type of professional journals exemplified in the Journal of the Allied Societies, and later the National Dental Journal, symbolizes a new era in journalism in our professional growth. They are sub- sidized by the profession. They represent democratic rather than autocratic control, and must satisfy the will of the profession or fail in their efficacy and educational merit. They will never wholly replace trade journals for obvious reasons. Many other journals, and among them the publications devoted to special fields as orthodontics or hygiene, are not without influence in upbuilding our standards. Again, monographs and text-books, sub- sidiary factors in dental educational work, have molded dental opinion. They are largely the outgrowth of needs in dental schools where books became a necessity. The teachers were usually the authors and in many instances the teachers and authors were the editors of our journals. Fitch's "System of Dental Surgery" (three vol- umes) first published in 1829, and very comprehensive, was one of the earliest good American publications. "The Principles and Practice of Dental Surgery" and Harris' "Dental Dictionary," by Chapin A. Harris, show the versatility of professional attainment that this re- spected man possessed. The writer cannot refrain from mention- ing Taft, Garrettson. Miller, Essig, Gorgas, Black, Broomell, Cryer, Talbot, Burchard, Angle, Kirk and Noyes as being 'among 15 w the foremost authors of America, whose written word has spread the gospel of American dentistry over the globe. The third factor in the trinity, the Den- tal Association, brings us again to the name of Hayden, who was chiefly instru- mental in organizing the American Society of Dental Surgeons in New York, August 18, 1840. He was the first president and succeeded himself to that office until his death four years later. Although this As- sociation did not continue permanently, ow- ing to social disturbances, it served as the prototype of a dental society, which under the reorganization plan of the National Dental Association bids fair to equal or outnumber any dental society in the world. Associations today represent professional opinion more than they did in our earlier history when schools were the leaders in our professional progress. Associations do much toward standardizing conditions in this country both as to laws regulating the practice of dentistry and changes in cur- riculum due to individual genius and pro- fessional attainment. Each of these pre- dominating factors is of mutual benefit to the others. Laws regulating the practice of dentis- try and exercising supervision over the licentiates followed the rapid growth of dental schools. Although the first law was enacted in Alabama and approved Dec. 31, 1841, it was not until the later '60's and early '70's that they became general. It is often difficult to understand why this system of regulation has been set up in the United States, but the general feeling symbolized in the States' Rights provision in the Constitution and the creation of an impartial jury similar to the Registration Boards in the English possessions, is the fundamental cause. On the whole, the advantage is in favor of the public. One cannot omit reference to the remark- able growth of dental manufacturing and the public demand for a sanitary environ- ment. Cleanliness, education and activity usually beget a useful career, a successful life. The Forsyth Infirmary symbolizes these. Much credit, also, is due dental manufacturers for their efforts to supply the facilities for the rapid development of our science. During the early years, por- celain teeth and hand instruments were the essentials provided by the manufacturer for the dentist, who, ingenious and a mechanic. isolated and with limited transportation facilities, was obliged to make many of his own instruments and supplies. The year 1844 is significant in American dental his- tory. Aside from being the year in which Horace H. Hayden died and Horace N. Wells discovered nitrous oxide anesthesia, it marks the establishment of the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Company by Dr. S. S. White. To hurriedly pass on while discussing "this self-made profession," which has erected and equipped buildings, developed teachers, provided facilities for research and practice, created libraries which in their aggregate will exceed 60,000 volumes, regulated malpractice, practically abolished the apprentice system, and received but very limited amounts for endowments, to some of the conditions of today is but to span the ordinary life of a thinking indi- vidual. Among the notable monuments to Ameri- can dental science so recent as to have been discussed but yesterday, we have, typifying justice and charity to the chil- dren, the Forsyth Dental Infirmary at 140 The Fenway, Boston, Mass. No phase of the child hygiene movement has been given greater publicity than oral hygiene, and the founders of this great institution in realizing the influence of a clean, healthy mouth in general good health have estab- lished a precedent in fostering this branch of preventive medicine and conserving the health of the youth of our land, which is worthy of emulation in every large center in America. Illiteracy and indolence beget degeneracy, and both of these primary causes are frequently traceable to ill health. Architecture and equipment will exert a potent influence on the development and growth of similar and co-related educa- tional institutions, while the provision for teaching orthodontics, so important in chil- dren's practice, will be of lasting benefit to our children of the next generation. And lastly, the dedication of the Thomas W. Evans Museum and Dental Institute, School of Dentistry, University of Penn- sylvania, on the one hundred and seventy- fifth birthday anniversary of the latter institution, marks a period of complete- ness in the recognition of the importance of thorough dental instruction, which should serve for all time as a refutation (Continued on page 47) 1— Dental Office, U.

Photographs courtesy Dr. Carpenter. History of U. S. Army Dental Corps By S. D. BoAK, M. D., D. D. S., Dental Surgeon, U. S. Army, West Point, N. Y. RIOR to the war with I Spain, there were no den- I tal surgeons in the army, emergency work being done by certain enlisted men of the Hospital Corps who had had some dental training. In the campaign in the Philippines in 1898, many of our men in the field had imperative need of dental treatment, to secure which they had to ob- tain authority to leave the front and go to Manila. This involved considerable ex- pense and was even more objectionable on account of loss of the services of the indi- viduals. It was discovered that in the ranks of our volunteers there were a num- ber of dentists; and, to avoid the objections mentioned, some of these were detailed to attend exclusively to the dental needs of the commands. In 1901, Congress authorized the crea- tion of a corps of thirty contract dental surgeons. They held no military rank and were attached to the Medical Corps of the Army. It gave the Surgeon General power to appoint, without examination, those men who were graduates in dentistry and whose character and services were satis- factory. Five men were given contracts under this act, as a reward of merit for their pioneer work in the Philippines. In accordance with this law, sixteen were sent to the Philippines and at different times one or more were sent to Pekin, Cuba and Porto Rico. In 1907, an additional dental surgeon was appointed with station at the U. S. Military Academy. The contract status did not prove satis- factory to the dental profession or to the members of the Dental Corps, and various attempts were made to remedy it. A bill was passed March 3, 1911, giving one commissioned grade, that of first lieuten- ant. This act allows one dental surgeon to each thousand of actual enlisted strength of the army, so that if the corps were filled on this basis, it would consist of ninety dental surgeons, sixty of whom could become first lieutenants, the balance remaining acting dental surgeons until a vacancy occurred in the commissioned per- sonnel. At present, the corps consists of twenty- eight first lieutenant dental surgeons and forty acting dental surgeons. Of these, eleven are stationed in the Philippines, eight in Hawaii, eight on the Mexican border, one in China, and one in Panama. One is sent each summer to Alaska and two accompanied our troops to Vera Cruz. At each of the five recruiting depots a dental surgeon is stationed, his duties being to examine the mouths of all recruits, often over eighty per day, and before a recruit is sent off to a regiment, to put his mouth in such sanitary condition as time permits. As this time is limited, opera- tions are, of necessity, of an emergency character and only fillings of cement and amalgam are used. Many of the dental surgeons are sent on itinerants, visiting six to eight posts in as many months. Each is accompanied by an assistant, an enlisted man of the Hospital Corps. They carry with them a field outfit including a foot engine, and at each post are assigned an operating room by the post commander. Each dental surgeon does foreign service in turn. The conditions under which most of the men of the corps have worked have been vastly different from the modern office with its strictly sanitary and up-to-date equipment. Compare the office of the den- tal surgeon in the tropics and on the border with your office. In the tropics the humid- ity is so great at times that gold foil be- comes damp passing from annealer to mouth. Instruments, if not given special care, become coated with rust, and leather furnishings mould overnight. In Cuba and the Philippines frequently my only light at night consisted of a tallow candle with a galvanized-iron bucket or Standard Oil can for a reflector. In 1905, one den- tal surgeon traveled 7,000 miles in five months in Alaska; 500 miles was by dog team, to treat eleven men of the Signal Corps; his board cost $11.00 per day, spe- cial army rates. Army dentists work under all conditions and in all climates. ■ft v> ■ 4^' other unit HE establishment of dental service in the Navy has been accomplished by pro- gressive stages attended with the usual caution of ; the executive branch in ■ proposing, and of Con- gress in enacting legisla- tion which would add an- the vast and constantly increasing system of governmental activi- ties. That dental service was a necessity had long been recognized, and efforts to pro- cure legislation in its favor, appearing occa- sionally for possibly the fifty years preced- ing 1894, have been constantly and insist- ently made since that year, until legislation establishing the present dental corps was finally obtained in August, 1912. The de- lay in the enacting of this legislation was due to a lack of unanimity between the representations of dental organizations and those of the Navy Department, rather than to any disposition to prevent legislation. In the early years, dentists were enlisted in the Hospital Corps for general service, having the same status as other enlisted men, and then specially detailed for dental duty at the various stations in the United States, foreign possessions, and on hospital ships. These men were graduates of den- tal colleges or had had special training in dentistry. This arrangement was not par- ticularly satisfactory, but worked well as a temporary expedient, and the service ob- tained was fairly efficient. The present dental corps was established by a law enacted August 28, 1912, which also specifies that after August, 1915, members of the corps who have served two or more years will be examined for promotion and if found qualified will be recommended for commissions as assistant dental surgeon, subject to appointment by the President and confirmation by the Senate. When first appointed, candidates receive the rank, pay and allowances of an assistant surgeon of the medical corps. Twenty-eight dental surgeons comprise the present corps. The duties of dental officers are set forth in the following instructions: "Dental officers are by law a part of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, and are required to serve profes- sionally the personnel of the naval service and to perform such other duties as may be prescribed by competent authority. "The regulations provide that the pro- fessional services of dental officers shall be available only for oflScers and men on the active list of the Navy and Marine Corps, and such services are restricted to those measures which will most effectively and economically preserve the teeth of the personnel and insure physical fitness. The department has construed Article 2991, Navy Regulations, to apply to and include officers and men of the Naval Auxiliary Service. "Prosthetic procedures, such as gold, bridge, or crown work, are not contem- plated as a part of the work of a dental officer." These duties and the class of work to be performed will be enlarged upon as soon as practicable. The equipment at the present time is being enlarged to meet the requirements and conditions confronted as rapidly as is consistent with the number of dental surgeons employed. While some 60,000 men constitute the personnel of the Navy, constant discharge of men from the service and the enlistment of new recruits to take their places make a continuous flow of patients, and keep the proportion requiring services at about the same ratio. As about ninety per cent of the personnel have defective teeth or need dental treatment, it will be readily seen that the time of the dental surgeon is well occupied with even the restricted class of work now being undertaken. With further development it is hoped that this service may be a great aid in making our Navy more efficient through the improved health of our men.

Prior to that time, how- ever, the Faculty of Medi- cine of Buenos Aires had created as an accessory branch of its curriculum a course in the "Art of Den- tistry" extending over a period of two years, and had named Mr. Juan Etchepare- borda as Dental Examiner. This action of the Faculty of Medicine was brought about partly as a protection to the public from the large number of quacks who at that time were prostituting the profession here, and partly as a result of the brilliant ex- ample set by countries of North America in dental matters. Dr. Nicasio Etchepare- borda was placed in charge of the school when it was first established, and to his energy and personal activity the present status of dentistry here is largely indebted. Under his able management the school has steadily advanced and is today estab- lished on a very firm basis. In the beginning the course of study ex- tended over a period of two years, but in 1910 the time was extended to three years, followed by a "finishing course" of three months. The requirements for admission to the dental school include a certificate of good health and good moral character, and a bachelor's degree. Students are required to provide them- selves with all instruments needed except forceps, and to wear a white coat while operating. All medicines and filling material are fur- nished by the school. Students, in general, are not allowed to choose their patients, but must accept those assigned to them by the professor in charge. All operations by students are made un- der the supervision of the professor and the chief of practical work. Black's instru- ments are used and the Black system of cavity preparation is employed. The total number of students enrolled in 1915 is 333, of whom fifty-eight are women. The minimum amount of operative work required of the student during his third year is as follows: Fifty extractions, thirty gold fillings, three treatments of the third grade, ten treatments of the fourth grade, two incrustations of porcelain, the manu- facture and fitting of two gold crowns and two pivots, the treatment of at least one case each of gingivitis, pyorrhea, ab.scess with fistula, and blind abscess. For pros- thetic work, the third year's requirements are six crowns, four pivots, one bridge and two pieces of burnished metal. The faculty of the school comprises the following : Dr. Nicasio Etchepareborda, Principal. Dr. Rodolfo Erausquin, Professor for First Year. Cirio Durante and F. Lafarga, Chiefs of Clinics. Dr. Leon Pereyra, Professor for Second Year. Emilio Boye and Alberto Barui, Chiefs of Clinics. Luis Fasanella, assistant. Dr. Nicasio Etchepareborda, Professor for Third Year. Cariolano Brea and Gabriel Anitna, Chiefs of Clinics. J. Argeno Aneta, assistant. D. Antonio Guardo, Professor of Pros- thesis. A. B. Molina and A. E. Lattauri, Chiefs of Laboratory. F.

White [E State of Queensland, comprising the northeast portion of the continent of Australia, has an area of 670,500 square miles, with a population of 637,425. Brisbane is the capital, with the last census show- ing 151,272 inhabitants. The Dental Act passed in 1902 is ad- ministered by a Board consisting of five (5) dentists and two medical practitioners. The registrar is appointed by the Board, and the office has been held by Mr. T. B. Hunter, B. A., for some years. The Board's duties in general consist of : 1. Protection of the public by the pros- ecution of unregistered men. 2. Setting the standard of dental edu- cation. 3. Holding of examinations. 4. Registration of practitioners. The standard of education comprises : 1. Passing of a preliminary examina- tion of the matriculation of the University of Queensland, or other university. 2. Registration as a student for a period of four years to a registered practitioner, including hospital practice. 3. Passing of intermediate and final ex- amination held by the Board. The requirements in general for admis- sion to the register are: 1. Completion of the requirements of the Board as to local standard above men- tioned. 2. Licentiate in Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Ireland. 3. Licentiate in Dental Surgery of a university of Australia or other British dominion. 4. The degree of Dentistry of Harvard, Michigan, or Pennsylvania Universities, combined with a four years' course and matriculation examination. The registration fee is seven guineas (£7 :7 :0). In December, 1914, the number of reg- istered practitioners was two hundred and eighty-five (285). The Odontological Society of Queens- land was established in 1904 and has a large and representative membership of the profession in Queensland. The sub- scription fee is one guinea (£1 :1 :0) per annum, and non-metropolitan members re- ceive a copy of an Australian dental maga- zine without charge. Clinics and papers are given once a month for a period of eight months each year, vacation being midsummer. The Dental Defense Society of Queens- land, Ltd., was established for the protec- tion of ethical practitioners from black- mail and unfair prosecution. Its member- ship consists largely of members of the Odontological Society, and all prosecutions are watched on behalf of the profession, at the same time evincing a reasonable at- titude towards the public. The annual sub- scription is one guinea (£1 :1 :0), but each member has a limited liability of five pounds (£5). The Brisbane Dental Hospital provides dental service for the poor of the district, the State's children, and the State school children who are unable to obtain the serv- ices of a private practitioner. Ample op- portunity is provided for the teaching of students in dentistry. The System of Dental Inspection of Schools in Queensland. The recognition by the State of the appalling prevalence of dental caries, and the realization of its effect in the physical and mental efficiency of the children and nation, brought about the necessity of attention to the problem by a system of inspection of children in the schools in 1911. The system has these aspects: Inspection, Educational, Clinical. Inspection and Educational. Three (3) dental inspectors are appointed and allot- ted to Northern, Central and Southern Districts. During the school hours, 9 :30 a. m. to 4 p. m., by arrangement with the head master, each child is examined, a chart in duplicate is made, one being handed to the child for its parent and the other kept as a record. The condition of the teeth is marked and recommenda- tion made to the parent. Instruction is given in the correct use of the toothbrush, toothbrush drill in class held, and in the older classes elementary anatomy, physi- ology and hygiene taught. The inspection takes place each year. Clinical. In the metropolitan districts very poor children are recommended by the schoolmaster to the dental hospital. In the isolated country districts where there are no dentists, the dental inspector at the conclusion of the school inspection per- forms general dental operations. He is provided with a full traveling outfit, and in reality holds a traveling school dental clinic. The benefit of the inspections is shown by the increasing improvement in the state of the children's mouths, a smaller number of excuses of absence from school through swollen faces and aching teeth. Many interesting statistics are being com- piled on the comparative conditions of the teeth of the children living in the central districts, where rain (tank) water is used, and those of the inland districts, where "bore" water, artesian and sub-artesian water, is used. The Third Australian Dental Congress was held in Brisbane during August, 1913, and was attended by 260 dentists, including distinguished practitioners from the British Isles and America. Army Dental Corps. Eight (8) dentists are appointed in the Army Medical Re- serve, seven holding the rank of lieutenant and one of captain. Dentistry in New South Wales By the Executive Committee for New South Wales % The first notable landmark of the pro- fession in the State of New South Wales was the passing of the Dental Act in 1900. This was followed at once by the estab- lishment of a dental school and hospital by the University of Sydney. The degree given to students who fulfilled the require- ments of the course of study (at first three years) was L. D. S. (Licentiate in Dental Surgery). After a time, the Senate amended the regulations and lengthened the course to four years and granted a degree of Bach- elor in Dental Surgery (B. D. S.), at the same time raising the entrance examination to the standard required for the medical course. This degree is recognized and is registrable in Great Britain. About 100 graduates have completed this course since the foundation of the school. There has also been a large number of students privately trained, who have quali- fied by examination at the hands of the Dental Board. As, however, the regula- tions providing for this course for regis- tration are now practically the same as the university regulations, it is supposed that in future all students will be university graduates. The United Dental Hospital of Sydney, formed by the consolidation of two for- merly existing hospitals, is now housed in a fine, up-to-date building, erected by the Government and handed over to the com- mittee for the purposes of hospital and dental school. A new constitution has re- cently been conferred upon this institution with ample funds from the State Govern- ment, and a new department providing a "free clinic for public school children" has been added to the institution. The clinic is of a most useful kind and provides an educational stimulus to our State school children in dental matters and the care of the teeth. The future of dentistry appears to be as- sured, as the State Government is now about to provide funds for the foundation of a chair in dentistry in the university, which will prove of inestimable benefit to the profession of the State. Defense. The Dental Board have been directing the attention of the Defense De- partment to the necessity for proper care of the teeth of our troops and, ably as- sisted by the members of the great dental societies and the Committee of the Dental Hospital, have carried on dental services at the hospital for the soldiers.

In 1830, Dr. G. Carabelli was appoint- ed instructor in dentistry at the University of Vienna, and one of his pupils. Dr. M. Heider, ap- pointed instructor in 1843, was made pro- fessor of dental science in 1859. Legal dental practice in Austria-Hungary is limited to those who possess the univer- sity diploma of a "Medicinae Univers£e Doc- tor" of the empire.* There are no private universities or private dental institutes in Austria. To obtain the degree of "Medicinje Uni- versae Doctor," the candidate must have passed the final examination (Maturium) of an Austrian gymnasium (grammar .school), then spend at least five years at an Austrian university and pass the different (about thirteen) examinations of three Rigorosa. Upon receiving his degree of "Medicinae Universse Doctor," it is optional with him to immediately commence practice or to pursue special studies for a further period of time. He has the right to practice gen- eral medicine as well as any specialty, like surgery, obstetrics, aural surgery, ophthal- mology, etc., or to treat skin disease or to practice dentistry or any other branch of medicine. Instruction in dental science is obligatory upon all medical students. The dental institutes of Austria-Hungary belong to and are a part of the universities, and are designated Dental University In- stitute (or Dental University Ambulato- rium) of Wien, Prag, Innsbruck, Graz, Lemberg, Krakau, respectively ; Stomato- logical Clinics of the University of Buda- pest and of Klausenburg. Some of them are arranged like a hospital with special clinic room provided with beds for patients under surgical treatment, that cannot be carried on conveniently or instructively at the general surgical clinic. The descrip- tions and photograhs of the new Austrian dental institutes you will find in the fol- io w i n g issues of the "Oesterreichisch- Ungarischen Vierteljahresschrift fiir Zahn- heilkunde"t: Wien, July, 1915; Lemberg, April, 1914; Graz, January, 1913; Inns- bruck, January, 1913, and Budapest, April 1909. Prosthetic dentistry (Zahnersatzkunde) is made by law "an integral part of dental science" and every physician is required to do all the technical mechanical work neces- sary for his patients, without depending on the trade law like the prosthetic dentist (Zahntechniker or mechanician dentists) in France. But the profession of technical dentistry (Zahntechnik) depends on the trade law and comprises the professional manufacturing and inserting of artificial teeth (plates, crowns and bridges). The prosthetic dentist has only the right "to take impressions and to try to adapt the prosthetic works, manufactured by him, to the mouth, which must be in an absolutely healthy condition. But he is not allowed to do any work in a diseased mouth or to perform, even in a healthy mouth, anything which may change the condition of its .structures, for instance, "to pinch or grind oflf part of teeth or roots, to clean or fill the teeth, or to extract roots or teeth." There are at present in Austria-Hungary twelve dental societies and the big Central .Association of Austrian Stomatologists, uniting the society members. One of the aims of the organized Austrian dentists is to limit dental practice, and the title of "Zahnarzt" (dentist) to those medical graduates who have had two years of con- tinuous training in operative and technical dentistry at a university. •There are a few cases (In Wien and some more in Budapest) where many years ago mechanical- dentists were permitted (by favor of the Crown) to practice dentistry; since 1899 this permission has not been granted, t Wien, I.

S. 30 Wb T^-t^^ .St^-' Canadian Dentistry By Dr. A. E. Webster ILE dentistry in Can- ada partakes very largely of the methods of educa- tion, practice and admin- i s t r a t i o n of its good neighbors to the south, it has some marked charac- istics of its forebears, the French and the English. Out of a union of three sources mentioned is rapidly developing a Canadian dentistry having distinct characteristics. In methods of technique and office management, the Canadian dentist cannot be distinguished from his American confrere, but in educa- tion there is much of the British method followed. The preceptor method of instruc- tion followed in Great Britain prevailed longer in Canada than in the United States, and is still in vogue in some of the Prov- inces where dental schools do not exist. There is more reliance placed on the early education of the dental student and the time spent in study than upon a quick ac- quirement of technical procedures. The French have influenced dental education in artistic and professional aspects. In dental laws and administration Can- ada holds a unique position. The first dental law in existence was passed by the Legislature of Ontario. This action was closely followed first by New York and then by Quebec. The profession in each Province has an independent dental law controlled by the profession, though in one or two provinces the Legislature appoints a part of the members of the Board. Each Board has full control of the standards of preliminary education, professional educa- tion, and professional conduct after admis- sion to practice. The Boards have power to give those admitted to practice the title of L. D. S. A license from the Board of one Province does not authorize the holder to practice in any other Province. The Dominion Dental Council formed by an appointee from each Provincial Board holds an examination each year for candidates who wish to obtain a certificate which permits the holder to practice in any Province in the Dominion. There is also provision in the by-laws of this Council allowing those of certain professional standards which were obtained before the Council was organized to transfer from one Province to another. There are four dental colleges, three of them departments of regularly organized universities and one owned and controlled by the profession of Ontario. These are the Maritime Dental College, at Halifax, the dental department of Dalhousie Uni- versity; Laval Dental College, a depart- ment of Laval University, Montreal, Que.; the dental department of McGill Univer- sity, Montreal; and the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, Toronto. The Provincial universities of the western Prov- inces have made provision for dental de- partments, but have not yet organized a teaching staff. There are two kinds of dental societies in Canada, official and voluntary. Official societies are those organized under the provisions of a legislative act and which govern the profession of the Province; all others are voluntary. The Canadian Dental Association, the national society, holds its meetings every second year. The public and the Government of Can- ada are alive to the value of dental serv- ices. The Boards of Health of some of the Provinces have dentists acting upon them. Instruction of the public in oral hygiene is officially provided for in all the Provinces. Dental inspection and treat- ment of school children are officially car- ried out in all the large centers and in some of the rural districts. The Government of Canada has given to dentistry greater official recognition than has, perhaps, any other country. Within a few months an Army Dental Service has been organized upon the same basis and with the same rank as that of any other service in the army. The organization and management are separate from the medi- cal or any other service. It is thus placed upon a par socially, officially, and as a value to the public, with all other profes- sions or services under the Government.

Robinson, Demorest, S a x t o n and others, all North Ameri- can dentists, have arrived. In 1888, President Bai- rn a c e d a organized the Dental ScBobl, under the Faculty of Medi- cine. Its beginning was very modest, having only two professors, Nemecio Da- vila, dentist, and Roberto Barahona, phy- sician ; and for equipment, six dental chairs and a dozen forceps. It was situ- ated in a hall in the St. Vincent Hospital. In 1896, the dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Carvallo Elizalde, obtained from the Government an order appointing Dr. Jerman Valenzuela commissioner to study dental organization and progress in Europe and the United States. In 1908, Dr. Valenzuela, then director of the Dental School, had the good for- tune, by his own particular investigations, to discover by dental examination a clue to a crime committed by the Chancellor of the German Legation, who defrauded his charge, murdered the porter, set fire to the building and then disappeared, but was finally captured, tried and sentenced. This event deeply impressed public opinion both in Chile and abroad, by showing the impor- tance of dental science. It also induced President Montt to favor dental advance- ment by having constructed a special building for dental purposes equipped with all modern appliances. There are ninety- five pump chairs, complete with brackets and fountain spittoons, laboratories for X- ray, bacteriology, orthodontia, gold casting, ceramics, plate, and crown and bridge work. The school gives a three years' course, with terms of eight months each, after which the students are examined, and if found proficient, are allowed to take their final examinations before the State Board. The professors are the following: Dr. Valenzuela, Dr. Luis Vargas, Dr. Luis Plaza, Dr. Jorge Villaseca, Dr. Arthur Sierra, Dr. Guillermo Velasco, Dr. Aurelio Iglesias, Dr. Luis Lagos, Dr. Elias Escala. Dr. Alberto Concha, Dr. Efrain Jafia, Dr. Romulo Lavin, Dr. Carlos Mujica, Dr. Tomas Allende, Dr. Salvador Castillo, Dr. Oscar Silve, Dr. Rafael Toro, Dr. Roberto Brieba, Dr. Alexander Manhood, Dr. Her- man Fleischmann, Dr. Alfonso Leng, Dr. Francisco Jenschke, Dr. Exequiel Gonzalez, Dr. Roberto Barahona, Dr. Julio Paredes, Dr. Osvaldo Salas, Dr. Tomas Quevedo, Dr. Sara Rosas S. It is the only dental school in the coun- try, and as in all Chilean Government schools there is no fee charged for in- struction. In order to matriculate, all the candidate needs is to present a certificate of having finished successfully a high school training (Bachillerato). There are two dental societies and a journal devoted exclusively to the inter- ests of the profession. The Odontological Society was organized in May of 1908, in Santiago, by the enthusiastic co-operation of Drs. Bolton, Cabrera, Luis de la Barra and Manhood, who addressed the other fourteen colleagues present, stating that the meeting had been called to exchange ideas about the formation of a society to further dental interests. The society meets regularly once a month and holds clinics on the 10th, 11th and 12th of September, the anniversary of the foundation of the new school. At the same time there is an exhibit of dental instruments, in which German firms are always represented. The society is composed of eighty members, but on clinic days over two hundred den- tists attend. The official organ is the Re- vista Dental. The directors are: Pedro Diaz, Luis Azocar, Luis Lagos, Jose Ca- brera, Alfredo Betteley, Eduardo Manns, Edwin Perrett, Charles Bolton, Arthur Sierra, Pedro Labarca, and Vicente del Real. The Odontological Society of Valparaiso was organized in 1913 by Drs. Luis Ra- veau, Eduardo Gumming, Jorge Muriia, Ernesto Eisle: directors: Teodoro Jandin Moller, Aurelio Pickering, Alfonso Kreft and Julio Liiian. There are twenty-eight members. In the whole of Chile there are about three hundred practicing dentists. ib The Dental Profession in Colombia By Dr. Alberto Patino f P'^'^^f^^II^HE Republic of Colombia '^•'' ' ■*^^*' is situated on the north- If ^^^'1 Wa east of South America, just across the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico from the United States, and it has coasts on both oceans. The shortest distance between it and the United States is not as far as from Chicago to New York. From this city to the Colombian ports on the Atlantic is less than 1,900 miles, and the trip can be made in five days. Colombia is larger than all the Atlantic States with West Virginia and Ohio added, and, notwithstanding it is almost on the equator, as a great part of the land is high above the sea, there are found all the climates, and consequently the productions, of the three zones. The population is about 6,000,000. Bogota, the capital, is a fine city of 150,000 inhabitants, built upon a plateau of the Andes, and it has ever been celebrated for the refinement and high culture of its people. In regard to the dental profession, Co- lombia holds the first place, together with Brazil, Chile and Argentine. The first dental college opened in Bogota in 1888. Later, there was established another col- lege in Cartagena, and yet another in Bogota in 1912. The curriculum approved by the Minister of Public Instruction for these institutions comprises the following courses, distributed during a three years' term: Physics, chemistry, metallurgy, his- tology, bacteriology, anatomy, dental path- ology, physiology and hygiene, materia medica and therapeutics, operative and prosthetic dentistry. There are at present two dental societies in Bogota and three monthly reviews are published, among which the oldest and best known in and out of the country is La Odontologia Colombiana. Dental hygiene is attracting more and more attention every day, especially among the refined classes, and great importance has been paid to the care of children's teeth. The reason for this is brought about mainly by publications, conferences and the diffusion of hygiene rules by the profession. The "Cartilla de Higiene Bucal," by Dr. Jorge Cajiao Candia, of which the Government ordered a large edi- tion, has been distributed among the chil- dren of public schools, and Dr. Tamayo's booklet on the care of the teeth has visited almost every home in the country. 2— The legal medical study of dentistry made by the director of the Dental School, Dr. Jerman Valen- zuela Basterrlca, demonstrated in a famous criminal process the identity of the person entombed. (Triple crime committed in the German Legation, February, 1909.) Had been buried as the body of Beckert, and the murder attributed to Tapla. The body was that of Tapia, the victim; therefore Beckert was the assassin. This act having affected public opinion greatly, and having international associations, the Gov- ernment of the President IXin Pedro Mont decided to have an efficacious protection in the teaching of dentistry, and the construction of a building for its school. 35 1 — "La Fuerza," Havana, Cuba, built about I51"j.

The founders of dentistry here came from Europe, and hence the European schools held the dominating influence up to the middle of the last century; afterwards, our students taking advantage of the facilities and proximity of the American colleges, brought here the practical and scientific knowledge of those independent schools. The first dental colleges in Cuba were estab- lished just prior to 1880 ; several flourished in the city of Havana, but being private institutions, they ceased to exist in the year 1899, when the Dental School of the Uni- versity of Havana was established. This university is an official Government insti- tution. The course of instruction extends over a period of three years and is equal to that of similar American institutions. The practice of dentistry here has al- ways been regulated by law. An applicant for a license to practice must be either a graduate of the National University or of some foreign standard school ; the latter, however, must pass a satisfactory examina- tion before the board of the university, cor- responding to the State Board of Examiners in the United States. The social aspect of dentistry commenced in 1879, when the first society, the Odon- tological Society of Havana, was founded. It has published, since the year of its foun- dation, the official organ. Annals of the Odontological Society of Havana, a month- ly publication. The society and its peri- odical existed continuously for seventeen years, and during that time did much for the cause of dentistry. In 189.5 the society disbanded and the publication was sus- pended owing to conditions incident to the war for independence. During those days, several periodicals came into existence, and, although of short life, were of material benefit to the profes- sion. The present society, the Havana Dental Society, practically the continuation of the old Odontological Society, was established in 1900 and publishes a monthly. Annals of the Haivna Dental Society. Under the auspices of the society, the First Cuban Odontological Congress was organized and held a meeting in 1912 in this city, with a large attendance. One of the popular edu- cational features was the distribution of over a thousand books and toys, which were given as prizes for clean teeth to children of the poor, and of the public schools. Thousands of children were in- spected by a committee appointed from the membership of the society, and a pamphlet on "The Hygiene of the Mouth and Teeth in Children," issued by authority of the Congress, was freely distributed. We have had odontological sections in five medical congresses, viz. : the Regional Medical Congress, 1890 ; the Third Pan-American Medical Congress, 1901 ; the First National Medical Congress, 1905; the Second, 1911, and the Third in 1914. In Santiago de Cuba, the Oriental Dental Society has been in existence for nearly a decade. The present periodical literature comprises, apart from the already mentioned Annals, the Revista Dental, a monthly publication of wide circulation. In regard to profes- sional literature, it is interesting to state that the first book published was printed in Havana in 1830. The inspection of the teeth of the chil- dren in the public schools has long been established, and municipal dental dispen- saries for the poor are in existence. The Army Dental Corps has also done much good work. The public institutions — ma- ternity, orphan, poor children, old people, insane, etc. — are professionally attended to.

The Dental Profession in Denmark By Dr. Chr, Holst ENMARK, with a popula- tion of 2,757,000, has 440 dental practitioners. The Medical Depart- ment, arranged under the Ministry of Justice, is represented by the Com- mittee of Health, with the Counsellor of State, Dr. Hoff, as president. On the Committee of Health, the dental profession is represented by Professor C. Christensen, a prominent dentist. The dental organizations consist of a Capital Association, "Dansk Tandlozeforen- ing" (Danish Association of Dentists), of which Dr. Kiersgaard, of Copenhagen, is president, and eight local associations. These local associations elect representa- tives to the Capital Association on the basis of membership. These representa- tives, together with the Capital Committee, decide all questions concerning dentistry in general, while local questions are decided within the local association. Publications. Tandlozehladel {The Pa- per of Dentists), a weekly publication, whose editor is elected from the "Dansk Tandlozeforening" and who receives a sal- ary for this service, is at present in charge of Dr. Baltzer Andersen, of Copenhagen. C. Ash & Sons, of Copenhagen, also issue a monthly publication. In the Institute of State for treatment of oral diseases, a department for the prosthetic treatment of cleft-palate patients is, at present, in charge of Decent W. Block. Members of the profession find appoint- ment at the military garrisons in all the principal towns. Dental school clinics are established in several towns in the country, as municipal institutions, and under the stimulus of "The Association for the Care of Chil- dren's Teeth" there is manifest a vital in- terest in the subject as regards indigent school children. A School for Dentists, founded in 1888 by the State, now consists, in accordance with a royal edict, of four clinical divi- sions, viz.: 1. A department of diseases of the mouth and teeth. 2. A department for the filling of teeth. 3. One for general prosthesis. 4. One for crown and bridge, prosthe- sis of the jaws and regulation of teeth, besides a Roentgen laboratory and a chem- ical laboratory. The school employs ten teachers (Do- center), who constitute a council of teach- ers. They elect a president from among themselves. The president acts as a direc- tor. The teaching staff consists of the fol- lowing : 1. Dr. Med. C. C. Hansen, director and teacher of anatomy. 2. Dr. Med. Max Melchior, chief phy- sician, teacher of special surgery and leader of the surgical clinic. 3. Docent Chr. Hoist, teacher of opera- tive dentistry and leader of the operative clinic. 4. Docent W. Block, teacher of pros- thetic dentistry and leader of the prosthetic clinic. 5. Docent Hallander, teacher of crown and bridge work, and leader of the clinic in this subject. 6. Dr. Med. Boock, teacher of pharma- cology and professor at the university. 7. Bjorn Andersen, Cand. May. Scient., teacher of chemistry and leader of chem- ical trainings. 8. Dr. Med. Jorgen Jensen, teacher of general surgery. 9. Dr. Phil. Chr. Krogh, teacher of physiology. 10. Docent Budtz Jorgensen, teacher of propedentics. The course of instruction extends over a period of three years, and the school will accommodate thirty-five students a year. The requirements for admission to the dental school are: A diploma from a high school teaching three languages, including Latin, or passing a satisfactory examina- tion in these subjects. To get jus practicandi after passing these examinations, one must give evidence of having served two years as assistant to a legal practitioner. . (]) m'm wv r: 1— The Thomas W.

England By Dr. W. B. Patterson, London. ENTISTRY in England, ' as practiced by the quali- 1 fied dentists of the coun- try, requires a course of study extending over a period of four years. The tendency in England at the present day is for den- tal students to attend those large geflfPSl' hospitals in the chief cities which possess a special dental department, or which have a special dental hospital as- sociated with and in close proximity to them. At no dental hospital is the teaching of all the subjects of the dental curriculum done under one roof. Before a student can enter a hospital and commence his profes- sional studies, it is necessary for him to pass a preliminary examination in the sub- jects of a general education, such as Eng- lish grammar and composition, simple mathematics and Latin, and one optional subject, either a modern language or easy Greek. Many similar preliminary educa- tional examinations of foreign colleges and universities are accepted in lieu of this ex- amination. The common or ordinary requirement for the practice of dentistry is a license issued by one of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in England, Scotland or Ireland. The subjects for study and the examina- tions for this license are practically the same in all three countries. Exemptions are granted to students trained abroad. The institutions granting dental degrees are the Royal Colleges of Surgeons, located at London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Glas- gow, which give the degree of L. D. S. (Licentiate in Dental Surgery), and the various universities, which confer the addi- tional degrees of B. D. S. and M. D. S. (Bachelor's and Master's degrees). The first two years of a dental course are occupied chiefly with dental mechanics, which may be taken either in the laboratory of a dental hospital or in that of a private dentist ; the next two years, however, must be spent at some dental institution. Of the state of dentistry in England it is less easy to speak. The need for dentistry is great, and increasingly so. The Euro- pean war is influencing dentistry in various ways. There are fewer students in train- ing. There is less money to be spent upon dentistry, either by private individuals or by the State. School dental clinics, which were spreading throughout the country, are for the moment somewhat checked in their progress. The public conscience, which, thanks to the medical profession, was grad- ually realizing the dangers of dental caries and oral sepsis, is for the moment, owing to the war, apathetic towards dentistry as a part of national State hygiene. But the most serious factor in the situa- tion is perhaps the state of dental profes- sion itself. The profession may be divided into two parts. The smaller part consists of all the qualified dentists who have passed an examination after a training at a dental school. The larger part consists of men who have never received such training and who have not passed an examination indicating ability to practice dentistry of any kind. This latter class devotes its attention chiefly to that most remunerative form of dentistry in this country, known as artificial dentures in vul- canite work. Most of the members of this class have at some early period of their career been engaged as mechanics in the laboratories of dental practitioners, before setting up in dental practice for themselves, consequently they possess to .some extent a working knowledge of mechanical den- tistry. The law of England, by a curious anom- aly, does not expressly forbid such prac- tice, although it stringently prohibits the use of the title "Dentist" or "Dental Sur- geon" by such unqualified practitioners. The result is that an unsatisfactory state of the dental profession is in existence, which acts as a powerful deterrent to young men of education and honorable in- tentions entering dental schools and passing examinations in the subjects of dentistry. The British public, it should be men- tioned, is misled not only by the many and various specious devices in the use of titles which the wit of man is able to invent to circumvent the law, but it is misled by the / 1— Incorporated Dental Hospital of Ireland, Dublin. 2— The Weir Hall, Incorporated Dental Hospital of Ireland, Dublin. 3— Operating Room, Dental College, Helsingfors, Plnland, 42 wording- of the law itself; and, further- more, in a vast number of cases it is mis- led by the suggestion that true economy is practiced in parting with the natural den- ture and substituting that produced by art. The General Council of Medical Educa- tion of Great Britain and Ireland, the British Medical Association, and the British Dental Association are all engaged with the Legislature in an honorable attempt to amend the present state of the law, but the war is at the moment paralyzing their efforts. At the conclusion of the war, it is to be hoped that a brighter future may be in store for the dental schools and for den- tistry in connection with the public health. Ireland By A. W. W. Baker, Esq., L. D. S., I. M. D., F. R. C. S. I. Photographs taken by Mrs. A. W. W. Baker. The University of Dublin (Trinity Col- lege) evinced her interest in dentistry some years ago by constituting as optional sub- jects for the degree of M. Ch. (Master of Surgery), "surgery in one of its recognized branches, viz. : ophthalmic and aural ; gynae- cological ; dental." The importance of this decision to our profession can scarcely be overrated. Since then the University has established a school of dental science, and lectures are given by the university professors and lectures in anatomy, chemistry, surgery, natural philosophy, physiology, pathology, dental surgery and pathology, dental me- chanics, orthodontia and anaesthetics. The university grants the degrees of Bachelor and Master in Dental Science. Either of these qualifications entitles the holder to be registered as a licensed dental practitioner. In order to obtain the degree of Bachelor (B. Dent. Sc), candidates must have com- pleted the course for the Arts degree (B. A.) of the university and have spent at least four years in the school of den- tistry. The degree of Master in Dental Science (M. Dent. Sc.) is awarded after a further examination and cannot be taken until the end of a fifth year of study. The Royal College of Surgeons in Ire- land was the first licensing corporation in Dublin to grant a diploma in dentistry, which dates back to nearly forty years ago. The diploma granted to successful candi- dates is License in Dental Surgery (L. D. S. I.), Ireland being added to distinguish the diploma from those of the other Royal Colleges. The courses of study prescribed for students and the regulations for their examination are essentially the same as in the other Royal Colleges elsewhere in the United Kingdom. University College, a constituent college of the National University of Ireland, also grants degrees in dentistry (Bachelor and Master of Dental Surgery), the conditions for which do not materially differ from those prescribed by the other licensing bodies. 1— Helsingfors, Finland. 2— Statue of Alexander Helsingfors, Finland. 3 — Monument to Victor Emanuel II at Rome, Italy. 4 — University at Helsingfors, Finland. 44 ,-— .^-^ Ib HE Grand Duchy of Fin- land, which, since the year _ 1809, has been united to j^; the Empire of Russia, has about three and one-quar- ter milHon inhabitants. As in many other States, dentistry in Fin- land is of a relatively late date." The first graduate dentists who prac- ticed in the country were Germans and Swedes. The question of organizing the dental work in Finland was first suggested to the body of physicians of the country in 1883 by some interested dentists. Proposals were made in 1885 and 1887, but not until 1891 did the Imperial ordinance emanate "Concerning the Organization of the In- struction in Dentistry in Finland." In con- sequence, there was established, in Helsing- fors, the capital of the country, a Dentists' Hospital, subordinate to the Faculty of Medicine of the Imperial Alexander Uni- versity of Helsingfors. This hospital, being at first only a sec- tion of the "Polyclinique" of the Surgical Hospital of Helsingfors, has since devel- oped into one of the greatest and most modern odontologic establishments in the Scandinavian countries. The instruction at this establishment is now imparted by two masters.one of whom has charge of the preservative treatment of teeth, and mouth surgery, while the other is in charge of prothesology and the regu- lation of teeth. Two ordinary assistants are, besides, engaged in carrying on the work. At the present moment, about fifty stu- dents are enrolled at this school. Any one who has passed the dentists' examination at the University of Finland is entitled to practice dentistry in this coun- try, as are also legalized Finnish physi- cians and dentists who have passed exami- nations in Russia. The examination subjects required for future dentists in Finland are: 1. Medical preliminary examination in chemistry, physics, zoology and botany (at least one and a half years' course). Dentist-candidate examination, m anatomy, physiology and materia medico, and a practical co^irse in bacteriology (at least one and a half years' course). 3. Dentist's examination, which, after at least three terms' service at the Odon- tologie Establishment of the University and two months' attendance at the Syphilidolo- gie Clinique, shall consist of an examina- tion by the two masters at the Odontologie Establishment and by the professor of Sur- gical "Clinique" (at least a two years' course). A great many of the dentists of Finland have passed their final examination abroad (in Germany, Sweden or Norway) and have, after this examination, been allowed to practice in this country; but since Janu- ary 1, 1910, all dentist candidates, without exception, are obliged to undergo the above-named examinations, in order to gain venia practicandi. At the present moment, ninety-eight Fin- nish dentists are entitled to practice in this country. Of these, seven are, besides, com- pletely educated and trained physicians. In order to promote their profession, the dentists of Finland have united to form a society, the Finnish Dentists' Societv, founded April 16, 1892. The society, whose transactions are now published in two volumes a year, consisted, at the end of 1914, of eighty-three members, besides honorary and corresponding members. Among the last named, the society has the honor of enrolling also some eminent American dentists. The position of odontology in Finland as an independent branch of medicine received a universal acknowledgment in 1903. at the meeting of Northern Naturalists and Phy- sicians in Helsingfors, where odontology was for the first time represented by a sec- tion of its own. The most of the dentists of Finland have gone abroad for study, after completing the prescribed course at Helsingfors. A ma- jority belong to the Federation Dentaire Internationale, and one of the Finnish den- (Continued on page 47) T^ T — ^^^Wf;7^ Synopsis of the Evolution of Dentistry in France By Dr. Ch. Godon know that the French dental art shone with its u t m o's t splendor during t h e eighteenth century. The truly scientific time of its evolution begins with Pierre Fauchard, author of the first manual of dental surgery, pub- lished in 1728 ; and, until the beginning of the nineteenth century, the French dentists enjoyed the greatest reputation for their skill; but they seem to have lost that skil- fulness after the beginning of the nine- teenth century. Consequently the dentists started an important professional movement in France, about 1879, to raise their pro- fession to its former standard. This move- ment led to the establishing of the first dental school in France, known as "L'Ecole Dentaire de Paris," or "The Dental School of Paris." This movement gave birth at first to a society called "Le Cercle des Den- tistes de Paris," or "The Dentists' Club of Paris," which became, a few years later, "L'Association Generale Syndicale des Dentistes de France," or "The General Syndicated Association of the Dentists of France." The aim sought by this club was both to defend the professional interests of its members and to reform the dental technics and its practice in France. Its first care was to establish a school in which should be taught methodically and scientifically the science of dentistry, which at that time was taught in France only through individual apprenticeship. The Dental School of Paris, established in 1880, had a two-fold aim : First, to teach to stu- dents through theory and practice the odontologic science, and second, to estab- lish a dental dispensary for the indigent. Its founders modeled their own school after the dental colleges of the United States, whose curriculum they took and adapted to the needs of the dental profession in France. The progress made by the School of Dentistry of Paris in the recruiting and in the forming of a body of competent den- tists, the creation of a scientific society, "Societe d'Odontologie de Paris," or the "Odontologic Society of Paris," and of a monthly review called L'Odontologie, or The Odontology, caused the establishment four years later, in 1884, of a similar school, called "The Odontotechnic School," and caused the French Government to recognize these schools and to enact laws for the regu- lation of the academic studies pursued in the dental schools of France. Such was in part the aim both of the law passed on the 30th of November, 1892, with regard to dental medicine, and of the completing decrees or laws of the 25th of July, 1893, and of the 31st of December, 1894, which created an obligatory State diploma for the surgeon dentist, and made unlawful the practice of dentistry without a physician's or a dentist's State diploma. These laws fixed also the period of odontologic study at three years and also prescribed that three examinations be taken by the candi- dates during the three years. This law did not take into sufficient consideration the odontologic technic, and upon the repeated representations of the odontologists it was modified by a decree of the 11th of Janu- ary, 1909, which is in force at the present time, and which completes very effectively the legislation upon the matter. Whenever a student in dentistry has un- dergone a course of general study giving him a certain degree of general proficiency in odontologic science, the law enjoins upon him five more years of study, two of which shall be given to probationary work and three to school work. The two years of probationary work given exclusively to scientific and technical studies terminate Wfith an examination for the validation of this probationary work. Then come three years of school work, and at the end of each year an examination. It is after the third year and the last examination that the State diploma is given to the surgeon dentist. Independently of the two dental schools above mentioned, both of them chartered by the State, the dental teaching, which is free, subject to certain limitations, is equally given in the dental schools of Lyon and Nantes, as well as by the facul- ties of Bordeaux, Lille and Nancy. Be- sides The Odontology, other dental re- views are published. Likewise independ- ently of the Odontological Society there have been established other scientific dental societies. The First International Dental Congress met in Paris in 1889, and the Third Inter- national Dental Congress, which founded the International Dental Federation, met at the same place in 1900. America (Continued from page 16) of the statement of the Medical Faculty of In summarizing the University of Maryland back in 1839, "that the subject of dentistry was of little consequence." A memorial to Thomas W. Evans, an American dentist practicing his profession in a foreign land, achieving dis- tinction and success, gratifying a personal desire to give unto others, it stands today as the latest achievement bespeaking the progress and pre-eminence of American dentistry. Dental schools, dental journals, dental associations, have made American dentistry what it is today, but each and all of these factors have been inseparably linked with the names of men whose lives and ideals were molded into character, founded on justice, developed in a sturdy environment and influenced by the finer sense of morality and ethics which means for all things immortalized fame. New South Wales (Continued from page 26) monwealth has formed a dental corps of officers, the senior dental surgeon in each State to be a captain and the other officers to be lieutenants. Some years ago our dental journal was purchased by the four representative dental societies, viz. : The Odontological Society of New South Wales, the Dental Associa- tion of New South Wales, the University of Sydney Dental Graduates' Society, the New South Wales Society of Dental Grad- uates. These gentlemen formed editorial and management committees, increased the size of the journal, canvassed the societies for subscribers and appointed an editor-in- chief in the person of Dr. Percy Ash. The journal is now one of the largest and most successful dental journals south of the line. Finland (Continued from page 45) tists is a member of its Hygienic Commis- sion. In the country, the General Society for Promoting the Care of the Mouth and Teeth does much useful work. By means of public lectures and popular essays, the society works for mouth hygiene, particu- larly among the lower classes of society, and for the introduction of instruction in the care of the teeth in the schools of the country. Three towns, Helsingfors, Abo and Tammerfors, have a tooth clinique each, for national school children, where they receive rational attention to their teeth, free of cost. Tooth-caries is, I regret to say, a very prevalent disease in Finland. According to examinations made in 1912, the teeth of 3,225 out of 3,400 national school children (average age 9}4 years), or 94.9 per cent, were affected by caries. ^M By Dr. Eduardo Caceres HE Dental Institute of Guatemala was e s t a b - lished by special resolu- t i o n of the Executive Council of the Republic on the 1st of February, 1896, and is affiUated with the Faculty of Medi- c i n e and Pharmacy, by whose executive board it is governed. In the Institute, undergraduates receive theoretical and practical instruction in den- tal surgery gratis. In order to gain admission to the courses given by the Faculty of Dentistry, it is absolutely necessary to have graduated in science and letters at a recognized univer- sity. The regular course occupies three years, and is as follows: First Year. 1. Anatomy. 2. Osteology. 3. Histology and Dissection. 4. Physics. 5. Chemistry. Second Year. 1. Physiology. 2. Dental Pathology. Embryology. Operative and Prosthetic Technique. Clinics. Third Year. Therapeutics. Materia Medica. Surgery. Prosthetic Dentistry. 5. Orthodontia. 6. Operative Dentistry. In October, which is the end of the aca- demic year, the undergraduate must pass an examination in each subject of his course. After he has concluded his third year and has passed all his final examina- tions, he is then required to undergo a three hours' examination on theoretical and practical dentistry and also to present an original thesis (printed) on some subject previously prescribed by the dean of the faculty, and to answer a series of oral ques- tions thereon, previously selected by the dean and secretary of faculty. The part of the examination bearing chiefly on the subject matter of the thesis is held by the faculty of the Institute in association with two surgeon dentists appointed for the purpose by the Minister of Public Instruc- tion. Foreigners who may have obtained the title of surgeon dentist in foreign countries are not allowed to practice in Guatemala without having previously submitted to the examination prescribed by the law of the Republic. Natives of Guatemala who obtain their title in foreign countries may be incorpo- rated in the faculty by a simple resolution of the executive board; but, notwithstand- ing this, the board has in contemplation the reform of this regulation to the extent of requiring from those who may desire to be incorporated, the Degree of Science and Letters or its equivalent. "f^:^^ — The State of Dentistry in Italy By Dr. Vincenzo Guerini |HE State of dentistry in Italy is still unsatisfac- tory, chiefly owing to the fact that up to a few years ago there were no special schools for the teaching of the dental art. It was ordained by royal decree, April 24, 1890, that thenceforward all those intend- ing to practice dentistry must be graduates of medicine. Of course, this did not aflfect the standing of those who were practicing dentistry prior to that date. In consequence of this decree, a great number of medical men took up the dental profession, but in general with too brief and quite insufficient preparation, made after the conclusion of their medical studies. The medical course in Italy cov- ers a period of six years and is usually completed at about the age of 25, but the dental specialty is not included therein. The decree was evidently made with a view of raising the standard of dentistry in Italy, but it failed altogether to attain this object, for, no provision having been made for creating dental schools, the only effect of the decree was to produce, beside the older class of practitioners, another class, less efficient than the former, al- though provided with the medical degree. In fact, the former had learned the dental art, in general, by a practical career ex- tending over many years, whilst the latter had, in most cases, entered the dental pro- fession after a short and altogether insuf- ficient preparation. These unfavorable conditions still per- sist, in great part, even at the present day. Nevertheless, a certain improvement has already taken place, for seven years ago the Italian Institute of Stomatology (Isti- tuto Stomatologico Italiano) was founded in Milan with plentiful and modern means for the teaching of all parts of dentistry and oral surgery, and only a few months ago a new School of Stomatology was opened in Florence. The Milanese Insti- tute of Stomatology admits as students only graduates of medicine who intend to specialize in dentistry ; while the school at F'lorence admits also students of the last years of the course of medicine, thus af- fording the young men the advantage of a longer period of dental instruction, part of which may be carried out before the conclusion of their medical studies and part after the obtaining of the M. D. diploma. The above-mentioned decree has re- cently passed into law. At the same time, a great number of illegal practitioners were allowed to continue dental practice, some by passing an examination proving their ability, some by simply presenting docu- ments certifying that they had practiced dentistry for over fifteen years and were able practitioners. At the present time, a certain number of stomatological societies exist in Italy, formed by the stomatologists of the dif- ferent regions of Italy (Piedmont, Lom- bardy, Liguria, Tuscany, etc.). There is also an Italian Stomatological Federation (Federazione Stomatologica Italiana), which comprises all the regional stomato- logical societies. The surgeon dentists, on the other hand, have also regional societies and a national federation (Federazione tra gli Ordini de- gli Odontoiatri d'ltalia). As to the professional press, it is now represented by two monthly journals, La Stomatologia, the official organ of the Fed- erazione Stomatologica Italiana, edited by Prof. Dr. G. Coen-Cagli, and L'Odonto- Stomatologia, the official organ of the Federazione tra gli Ordini degli Odontoia- tri d'ltalia, edited by Dr. Vincenzo Guerini.

I ' -*-' m ¥ [E first record of the ar- rival of a dentist upon the Hawaiian Islands is con- tained in the following interesting advertisement from The Polynesian, pub- ? lished in Honolulu and dated Saturday, December 11. 1847: "DENTISTRY B. Stevens, Surgeon Dentist, is now in Honolulu, and is fully prepared to perform any operation on the teeth that may be required, in the most scientific manner. "He zvill insert teeth from one to an entire set, either on Pivot or Gold Plate, as the case may require. Fill teeth zvith gold or tin foil, clean, extract, etc." His successor was Dr. John Mott-Smith, who arrived in 1851, and immediately took a high position, both professionally and socially, so much so that in 1808 he was called to fill a position in the cabinet of King Kamehameha V. Dr. Mott-Smith was followed by Dr. Richards, who remained but a short time. In 1869, at the urgent call of several residents, Dr. J. M. Whitney, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, arrived, and for many years was the only practic- ing dentist upon the islands. With the increased coming of white resi- dents, the number of dentists rapidly in- creased, until now there are probably as many, perhaps more, dentists in Honolulu than in a mainland place of an equal popu- lation. Included in those practicing this profession are Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese dentists, who occupy a high posi- tion in the esteem of their own people and others. In the year 189G. the first law relating to the practice of dentistry was passed by the legislature of Hawaii. The act provides that no person shall practice dentistry upon the islands without a certificate from the Board of Dental Examiners, this board to be appointed by the Minister of the Interior. The board was ordered to issue certificates to all holders of diplomas from reputable colleges of dentistry. All others must pass examinations within sixty days. A fine of five hundred dollars was exacted for prac- ticing dentistry without a license. In 1903 a second law was passed, making the requirements more stringent, requiring a diploma from some college of dentistry as a condition of appearing before the License Board. The license may be cancelled at any time upon conviction of misconduct or fel- ony; using assumed degrees is made a misdemeanor. The Hawaiian Dental Society was or- ganized in the year 1903 and has held yearly and special meetings to date. Valuable papers have been read and discussed, and not infrequently distinguished professional visitors have addressed the society and given clinics. The Dental Society nominates the Dental Board to be appointed by the Governor. mK\^- ; Know then thyself, presume not God to scan ; The proper study of mankind is man. —Pope, Essay on Man.

It should be naturally advisable that if one is desirous to know the state of affairs in dentistry in this country, one ought to be accustomed with the dental law at first. The Dental Lazv of Japan. The dental law of Japan (which deals with every matter of dental profession) was enacted on the 39th year of Meiji (1906), and every dental practitioner has had to be governed by this law. The dental law of Japan consists of thir- teen articles. The first article determines the qualifications of the candidate for the dental practitioner, which writes as follows : (a) That he has graduated from a den- tal school designated by the Minister of Education. (b) That he has succeeded in passing the examination for dental practice. (c) That he not only graduated from a foreign dental school or obtained license for dental practice in a foreign country, but that he is recognized as a proper and duly qualified person by the Minister of Home Affairs. The eighth article of the law provides that dentists may establish a dentists' asso- ciation. Examination for the License of Dental Profession. In accordance with the dental law, the regulations of the examination for the license of dental profession were is- sued on the second year of Taisho (1913). in which the following conditions are con- tained : The applicant for the examination is re- quired to have obtained the diploma of a dental school of three-year course, after he had completed the whole course of a middle school. The subjects for examination are: Anatomy (histology included), physiology, pharmacology, pathology (bacteriology in- cluded), oral surgery, dental prosthetics and operatives (orthodontia included), pro- vided with the examination in practice. The regulations will be, however, valid on and after the tenth year of Taisho (1921). and for the time being the regulations which were determined on the eighteenth year of Meiji (1886) take effect. The current regulation is more beneficent than the newly enacted one, as it grants anyone who has studied two years is qualified to be the applicant for examination for dental profession, and the subjects are dental anatomy, dental physiology, dental phar- macology, oral surgery, dental operatives, dental prosthesis, and practical trials. Dental Schools. There are two kinds of dental schools in Japan ; one is designated by the Minister of Education ; its gradu- ates are entitled to license for dental practice without being officially examined as to their personal attainments. There are now only two dental colleges of this kind, or designated dental institutes. One of them is the "Tokio Shikwa Tgaku Sem- mon Gakko" (Tokio Dental College), which was established some twenty-five years ago by Dr. Kisai Takayama. and Dr. Morinosuke Chiwaki, succeeding the prede- cessor, is the present president. The stu- dents ought to be acknowledged, at their entrance, as well-qualified persons by pass- ing the examinations of both qualities of culture and physical structure. The diploma is acquired after studying the preparatory course of six months and principal course of three vears. The other college is the "Xihon Shikwa Igaku Semmon Gakko" (Japan Dental College), the president of which is Dr. Ichigoro Xakahara. The other kind of dental institutes, or the schools which are not recognized by the Minister of Education, are at present nine in number. They give the necessary education to the would-be applicants for the preparation for the official examination. The Graduates at ,'hnerican Dental Schools. Those persons who studied at least three years and graduated at a dental J w -^3 *' school of the membership of N. A. of D. F. or D. F. A. of A. U., have been entitled so far to be dentists without examination, and any one who possesses the license for prac- tice dentistry of any State has the rigfht to be a dentist. The Number of Dentists. At present the registered dentists in Japan are 2,404 in number, and it is observed that, in com- parison with the population of this coun- try, one dentist is to serve for a large peo- ple as 23,000 persons. Dentists' Association. In every prefec- ture there is a dentists' association, if there are ten dentists or more are dwelling, in accordance the right of them bestowed on by the dental law. These associations are remarkably active and energetic for protec- tion of the right of dental practitioners and for maintenance of public morality. The improvement of public health and every administration for that purpose has been strenuously enforced through the country bv these associations. Associated Dental Society of Japan (Nihon Rengo Shikwa Ikwai) is embodied for the purpose of combining the local as- sociations alluded above, and holds annually the general meeting of the representatives of all associations, and it has five commit- tees for the management of the society, and Dr. Seki-ichi Enomoto is the chairman of the committee. As an organism for scientific investiga- tion, the "Nippon Shikwa Igaku Kwai" (Japan Odontological Society) is enjoying its long existence, most dental practitioners in Japan being its members. The monthly meeting is held in Tokyo, and once a year the general meeting takes place in the same city. Dr. Morinosuke Chiwaki is the president of the society. Besides these associations and societies, a few small bodies hold their gatherings frequently, of which some endeavor themselves to scientific research, and some others discuss solely social problems in close interests of den- tistry. Dental Periodicals. In connection with dental science, seven journals are monthly issued now in Japan, and besides there are published a few periodicals, but their issue is not regular. The Relation of the Medical Practitioner to the Dentist. The distinction between physicians and dentists is very obscure in regard to professional practice. How far the medical practitioners are entitled to practice dentistry is the critical item of legal controversy. Discussions were ve- hemently made recently in the Imperial Diet. The medical school in Japan does not give any education in dentistry. The Medical Department of the Imperial Uni- versity has had the chair of dental science for not a short time, but it remained long as an optical course for students. Last year the course became obligatory, and twenty hours are allotted to the dental education. The professor of the chair is Dr. Hisashi Ishihara. My curse upon thy venom'd stang.

De Boer E Dental Institute of Utrecht, the only one in this country, is a depart- ment of the State Univer- sity and has developed from a three-room house (1865) to the building shown in the picture, ^' which dates from 1910 and has, nearly from its foundation, proven to be too small for the accommodation of the present number of students. The first lecturer, nominated by the Government in 1877, had to teach medical students the diagnosis of dental and oral diseases and the medical treatment. For this purpose those students could attend a clinic three times a week. To under- stand this teaching, one lecture on special anatomy, physiology and pathology was given. A few young men, who took up den- tistry as their future profession, soon made their appearance in these places, and a spe- cial lecture was held for them on funda- mental dental treatment. By and by they increased in number and medical students stayed away, as this special knowledge was not required in their medical examinations. The lecturer wanted an assistant and the building became too small. A new house was taken in 1895, providing more air and light, but nothing with which to teach practical dentistry. There was not even a curriculum announced. Conditions seemed to continue as they were before. Students, then about twenty-five in number, were kept busy only four hours a week, and as this resulted in insufficient prepara- tion for the final examinations, they made a present of modest furniture for the tech- nical department, to the institute and sent a request to the Government, asking for practical teaching. A favorable answer came, another assistant was appointed, and an installation made for the operative room. Years passed and everything changed; the number of students was increasing and the Government became convinced that some- thing more ought to be done. A private residence, an old-style house, was rebuilt and enlarged, and opened in 1910. A staff of five lecturers and a dozen assistants, however, at this time does not yet seem adequate to give all the teaching necessary for about 200 dental students in a four years' course. Plans for building exten- sion and a call for more assistance in the work, are being put before the Govern- ment, and in the interest of all it is to be hoped that teacher and student may soon be contented. Up to 1893^ the law did not require any preliminary study for those who intended to take up dentistry ; they had only to pass two examinations, a theoretical and a prac- tical one, and it did not matter whence the knowledge came nor how long the prac- tical experience. A committee of medical professors of any of the State universities constituted a board for the theoretical examination ; for the practical examination the student ap- peared before a committee consisting of the lecturer and two private dentists, who pre- sented a report of their examination to the board of examiners for physicians. Since the year mentioned above, entrance to den- tal courses is allowed only to those who are also admitted to f. i. medical courses. Lec- tures on general branches can be attended in the medical department, whilst special and purely dental teaching is the business of the dental lecturers. At the present time both examinations take place in Utrecht only. The first dental society dates from 1881 (membership from now on only by invi- tation) ; another one has existed since 1904, and last year a national society with dis- trict departments of a more social character was founded. In addition, some local soci- eties are in existence. One dental periodical is published monthly. u-^--, Dentistry in New Zealand By Dr. H. P. Pickerill r EGAL Restrictions. Ad- mission to the practice of dentistry in New Zealand is governed by "The Den- tists' Act of 1904." This act provides that to be en- titled to be registered as a dentist, one must be the holder of a degree in den- tal surgery from the University of New Zealand, or the holder of a certificate of proficiency in dental surgery or dentistry issued by the Senate of New Zealand Uni- versity, or the holder of a British or for- eign diploma, or he must have been an apprentice or a practicing dentist prior to the passage of the act. Registration. Every dental student, be- fore entering upon his course, either for the degree or for the certificate, must be registered as a student by the registrar of the New Zealand University. No student can be registered unless he either has passed the preliminary dental examination of the New Zealand University, or is a graduate of a university in arts or science, and has commenced the study of dentistry. either with a private practitioner or at one of the affiliated colleges. Dental students may now obtain, at the Dental School of the University of New Zealand, all the teaching and training re- quired by the Senate of the University for the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery, and for the certificate of proficiency in dental surgery. Charitable Work. Attached to all the chief hospitals in the Dominion are public dental departments with stipendary dentists in charge, assisted by honorary staflfs, where a large amount of dental treatment is undertaken for patients who cannot af- ford the ordinary practitioners' fees. New Zealand Dental Association. This is a "national" association with twelve branches thoroughly organized throughout the country. The association fosters professional meetings, scientific research, undertakes prosecutions of unregistered practitioners, insures its members against action for dam- ages, and publishes the New Zealand Den- tal Journal.

Salazar 1 S regards the profession of surgeon dentist and its progress in Peru, I can comply with your request, and do so, at the same time, with exactitude, by taking excerpts from a work, which is still uned- i t e d , by Dr. Humberto Fernandez Davila, and the prologue to which has been written by Dr. Christian Dam, dean of the dentists in Peru. This work has not been as yet published, because the author has been absent in Pennsylvania, U. S. A. "Odontology in Peru has been over- looked by everybody and only on very rare occasions has it attracted the attention of the authorities charged with the adminis- tration of public education in the Repub- lic." "No serious thought has ever been taken with a view to teaching that branch of surgery, nor has the most insignificant sum of money ever been appropriated to this important study." "Our general regulations of education assigned a place in the curriculum of pro- fessional studies to this science, and placed the teaching of the theory under the charge of the Faculty of Medicine, leaving the practical instruction entirely in the hands of the practicing dentists." Some of the details presented by Dr. H. Fernandez Davila in the work above quoted are rather curious, and speaking of the history of dentistry in Peru, he says as follows: "Amongst the ancient Peruvians, the art of curing the diseases of the mouth and teeth was carried on by means of herbs and medicinal plants." And Garcilaso de la Vega, in his "Comentarios Reales," Vol. II, Chapter 20, in speaking of the methods employed for curing the gums by the In- dians, gives the following description of the way they utilize a special root : "The Indians also employed the Taca- hamaca, a rosin which they used to place in the hollow of a tooth, or the Palo Santo (Holy Wood) either in syrup or infusion, as a mouth wash. Tobacco was employed in the form of a pellet and made out of the leaf of the plant and introduced into the hollow of the tooth, thus relieving the pain. They also utilized Saxifrage and Cardo Santo for the same purpose." "Another remedy employed by them to relieve toothache was the juice of the LechuguiUa silvcstre, which is very bitter." The present organization of the profes- sion of dental surgery in Peru dates from the year 1856, when reforms were intro- duced in the teaching and practice of medi- cine, and, as Dr. H. Fernandez Davila very truly says: "It does not really respond to the present requirements of the profession as regards scientific knowledge and prac- tice. The progress made in dental science and the experience of over half a century, as well as the public necessities which have varied since that date, demand a radical reform in this important branch of medi- cine." In the year 1856, the practice of odon- tology was unknown to the natives of the country and only three foreigners were rec- ognized as dentists: Doctors C. Petit, E. Proby and M. Dupuch. "There was no teaching on the subject nor was a dental curriculum established in any way whatever, and only the foreign dentists underwent a superficial examina- tion in order to revalidate their diplomas and obtain authority to practice their pro- fession in Peru, whilst others even omit- ted this official formula and freely opened their offices to the public." (Dr.H. Fer- nandez Davila, D. D. S.) It was not until the year 1870 that pupils matriculated for the study of dentistry in the School of Medicine, and these were two, Don Julio Pebaque, a native of the island of Martinique, and Don Aurelio Marquez, a native of Lima, Peru. In 1872, acting under authority of Con- gress, the then President of the Republic, Don Manuel Pardo, issued a new set of regulations on public education, which are still in force. Under Art. 279, these regu- lations specified a term of only two years for the study of dentistry, but this article was subsequently amended by increasing the time to three years. Strictly speaking, we have no dental school in Peru with professional dentists as professors, but simply dental students who have matriculated in the School of Medicine, and who, in order to study the practice of that profession, have to do so in the offices already established by surgeon dentists who have received their diplomas from the faculty. These students have to present a certificate every year to the fac- ulty, issued by the dentist with whom they study, in order to be examined. In order to correct this anomaly, a bill has been presented in the National Con- gress by the dean of the Faculty of Medi- cine, which will provide for the foundation of a school of dental practice with a staff of competent professors. ,^ Png p\ 1— Santa Catalina Palace.

The Philippine Islands By Dr. Louis Ottoky N the far-away Philippines satisfactory progress is being made. This year especially is an important epoch in the history of dentistry in the Archipel- J ago. '■"'^'^'^^^^■^ — "^ ^ Last February a new dental law was enacted, repealing bad features of the old ; adding at least one, entirely original in dental legislation, which it would be well for our States to copy. In the old law there was a provision under which a local institution granted titles of "Minor Surgeon" to stu- dents who attended a course "of not less than two years, and studied dentistry for four months." While this clause was en- acted twelve years ago with good inten- tion, one can see at a glance that it is per- nicious. These inexperienced men were "limited to practice in remote towns where there is no regularly qualified dentist avail- able." There being only five such towns in the islands, these men engaged in prac- tice practically everywhere. More than one hundred of this class were turned out during the last eleven years. This clause has been repealed ; hereafter no one can enter practice unless he possesses a diploma from a dental school and in addition passes an examination before the Board. The Board has also been given power to define the reputability of dental colleges in order to be recognized by it. The new feature of the law is contained in the section which relates to the revoca- tion of licenses. It gives authority to the Board to revoke licenses for the usual causes, and in addition for the "-wilful destruction or mutilation of a natural tootli of a person zcith the deliberate purpose of substituting the satne by an unnecessary or unessential artificial tooth." With that power conferred on the Board, it is hoped to eradicate this reprehensible practice, unfortunately introduced since American occupation ; that is, the destruction of "^^V sound teeth for no other purpose than the placing of gold crowns. Last February, also, a dental school was established by the University of the Phil- ippines — an institution rapidly taking a prominent place as a seat of learning. The standard of education is of the highest. Requirement for admission is a high school diploma. The course of instruction covers four years. The first course commenced last June, simultaneously with the academic year of the university. The medical school, with which the dental school is connected, is as thoroughly equipped a medical col- lege as may be found anywhere. One of our illustrations depicts this fine building, while another indicates that our confreres in the islands seem to be carrying the white man's burden quite well. By an act of the legislature there was also created a "Dental Plygiene Commis- sion." which is authorized by law to receive public subscription to an amount not to exceed $2,000. and with this money to open free dental clinics in the public schools. This money is being collected, and the clinic has been installed in the public schools. It is only the beginning of a great work, thus making 1915 the banner dental year in Philippine history. There are a number of dental clinics in Manila, which are do- ing much good. The p-edcral prison is provided with a dental office for prisoners ; several hospitals have dental clinics con- nected with their infirmaries. More than 16,000 poor people have been treated in these clinics during the past eleven years ; over 42,000 operations were performed in these clinics. The Bureau of Health has purchased and installed in its "Health Railroad Car" the lecture on "Mouth Hygiene." illustrated with thirty-six lantern slides, prepared by our National Mouth Hygiene Association. From these progressive activities we can realize that the members of our profession are doing nobly the uplift work for hu- manity in our most distant possessions. f 3ity Hall, San Juan, P.

Dental Association in Porto Rico By Dr. Manuel V. del Valle ORTO RICO is the most westerly of the smaller Antilles. It is situated in the tropics between 17° 50' and 18° 30' north lati- tude and 65° 30' and G7° 15' west longitude, Green- wich meridian. Its posi- tion on the map is east of Santo Domingo. The island is almost rec- tangular in shape, measuring about 100 miles in length and 36 in width. By com- parison, it is about three-fourths the size of Connecticut. It is traversed by a chain of mountains, the highest being 3,609 feet above sea level. The temperature varies according to the locality. On the coast it ranges between 78° and 82° Fahrenheit, and in the mountains from 57° to 75°. The island was discovered by Christo- pher Columbus on his second voyage, No- vember 16, 1493. It is at present divided into seven districts. San Juan is the cap- ital of the island and was founded by Juan Ponce de Leon in 1511. It boasts, there- fore, of being the oldest city in the United States. Porto Rico was under the Spanish rule until October 18. 1898, when its sover- eignty was transferred to the United States by reason of the Spanish-American War. The dental profession in Porto Rico during the Spanish domination followed the same fate as that in the mother country — it was not regulated at all, and the pull- ing of an offending tooth was entrusted to the barbers. Not until 1875 was there any legislation in favor of the dental profes- sion. At that time the realm published a decree prohibiting the practice of the pro- fession except by those that had received certain instruction at the university. But the requirements were slight and the vio- lation of this decree was not looked upon as a great offense. Upon the United States assuming con- trol of the affairs of the island, the mili- tary department detailed a medical officer to examine the licenses already granted and ordered the renewal thereof, but as there was found a number of practitioners who were doing dental work by tolerance, those also were given a license to practice. Afterwards the island was given, by act of Congress, a civil government, and the Insular Legislature passed an act organiz- ing a Board of Dental Examiners, which act became law March 9, 1905. Since that time all candidates seeking permission to practice dentistry in the Island of Porto Rico are required to pass an examination and must present to the Board a diploma from a recognized school or college. No other preliminary education is required. There is an effort now being made to modify the law, as there is great difficulty in suppressing intruders who from previous tolerance consider that it is no crime to invade a profession for which they have received no training. The island now has a dental association to which the majority of the ethical prac- titioners belong and which is incorporated with the National Dental Association of the United States. To the efforts of the Porto Rico Dental Association the profes- sion will be indebted for any modification of the present law, which will provide, among other requirements, a certain stand- ard of preliminary education. There are as yet no institutions devoted to the teaching of dentistry. The Univer- sity of Porto Rico is now in the formative period of organization, and so far has established only the departments of phar- macy and law, besides the normal school course. It is the intention in the near future to establish a department of den- tistry. -m Dentistry in Sweden By Dr. Elof Forberg and Dr. Iwan L.^mby E X T A L instruction in Sweden is under supervi- sion of the Government and covers a period of three years. Having passed the last examina- tion, the dentist gets his Hcense for practice with- out any further examina- tion. In order to be entitled to enter the university for studying dentistry, he has to have the same preliminary examinations as for studying medicine, viz., twelve years' continuous study, beginning as a rule at six years of age, leading to matriculation examination. The dental curriculum is divided into two parts, viz., one year's general medical study and two years' spe- cial dental study. The first year's course is taken at the Royal Caroline Medico-Surgical Institute (Kungliga Karohnska Medico- Kirurgiska Institutet) and is finished with an examination. The same professors are instructors in the different subjects for the dental students as for the medical students. The subjects are: Anatomy, Histology with Embryology, Pathology with Bacteri- ology. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry with Metallurgy, Pharmacy, Physiology. The special dental instruction is given in a special building, the Dental Institute (Tandlakare Institutet), in the center of the city. The subjects in the special two years' course are General Surgery, Oral Surgery with diagnoses and treatments of all kinds of dental and oral diseases, Op- erative Dentistry, Prosthetic Dentistry and Orthodontia. The different parts of the practical study are divided in such way that every second day half of the students have two hours of Oral Surgery and diag- noses and five hours of Operative Den- tistry; the other half. Prosthetic Dentistry and Orthodontia. There are only thirty new students ad- mitted every year. Lady students are also admitted. There generally are over one hundred applicants. Those who have the highest grades in the matriculation exami- nation are admitted. The national societies in Sweden are two. They are organized in such a way that one, the Swedish Dental Association (Svenska Tandliikare-Sallskapet), has to promote the odontological science and its practical application; the other, the Dental Federation of Sweden (Sveriges Tandla- kare-Forbund), has to promote the den- tists' social and economical interests. Both societies have their seats at the capital. Stockholm, but have members in the whole of Sweden, and, in fact, nearly all Swedish dentists are members. The Swedish Dental Association has meetings bi-monthly. The Dental Federation of Sweden, which is subdivided into local societies, has only one general meeting every year. Both publish periodicals with four numbers yearly. Swedish Dental Journal (Svensk Tandlakare-Tidskrift) is the official organ of the Swedish Dental Association and contains scientific and practical contribu- tions. The Journal of the Dental Federa- tion of Sweden (Sveriges Tandlakare-For- bunds Tidning) is the official organ of the Federation and contains social and eco- nomic contributions. The Swedish Dental Association has a large library and a his- torical museum in its own building; it also has some endowments which provide for assisting in scientific work and one for the widows and orphans of deceased Swedish dentists.

At the time, the Presi- dent of the Republic was General Tomas Regalado, and the rector of the university. Doctor Ricardo Moreira. The first director of the Dental School was Manuel U. Urreta, D. D. S. The suc- cessive directors have been Doctors Oscar F. Prey. Alejandro Cromeyer and Enrique Gonzalez, S., who up to the present time is at the head of the school. At the beginning of the first session, there were forty-one matriculates, of which number fifteen obtained diplomas, and since then an average of five students have been graduated annually, most of whom are practicing the profession in dififerent parts of Salvador or Central America. The course for the degree is three years. The lecture hall and infirmary are situ- ated in the medical school building, which has but recently been completed and the cornerstone of which was laid during the presidency of Doctor Manuel E. Aran jo two years ago. The school is not self-supporting, as stu- dents are not charged an annual tuition fee, being required to pay only a matricu- lation fee and final examination and di- ploma fees. The teaching corps is paid by the Gov- ernment and equipments have been ac- quired by charging a small percentage above cost for all materials used in the clinical work of students.

The organization is made up o' the fol- lowing divisions: A Supreme Chapter which governs and controls the entire membership, having the power to make or amend the Constitution and Laws. Twenty-five Auxiliary Chapters, com- posed of Supreme Chapter members resid- ing in certain central districts.

PSI OMEGA FRATERNITY SI OMEGA Dental Fra- ternity was organized in S!»2 at the Baltimore Col- cge of Dental Surgery, "ounded primarily as a college society, with a secret ritual, the organiza- gradually to the New York College of Dentistry and thence to the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery. The Constitution and the power of the original Chapter, Alpha, proving inadequate for the growing Fraternity, a convention was called in February, 1895, and the Fra- ternity was launched as a National organi- zation. In the last twenty years Psi Omega has grown from its humble beginning to an or- ganization consisting of forty-eight chap- ters. Forty-two of these are Active Chap- ters and twenty-six Alumni, with a total membership of seven thousand five hundred. The object of the Fraternity is to culti- vate the social qualities of its members; to surround each member with friends to whom he may turn for advice and assist- ance when in need, and to untiringly exert its influence for the advancement of the dental profession, in methods of teaching, of practice and of jurisprudence. The government of the Fraternity is vested in a Grand Chapter, meeting tri- ennially between July 1st and September 1st, and consisting of one duly elected del- egate from each Subordinate Chapter. The Supreme Council is composed of three Alumni members, having power to act for the Grand Chapter when that body is not in session. To secure by co-operation benefits and advantages out of individual reach the official organ. The Fratcr, is published bi- monthly during the college year. SUPREME COUNCIL. H. E. Friesell, A. B., D.

National Alumni Chapter. /■ HE Xi Psi Phi Fraternity was founded at the Uni- versity of Michigan in February, 1889. The name given the organization at that time was Delta Beta Gamma, signifying "Den- tal Brothers' Guild." This, however, was soon changed to Xi Psi Phi. In May, 1892, articles of association were filed in the State of Michigan for Alpha Chapter, after which the Fraternity became a national organization. Since that time thirty-two Subordinate Chapters have been organized; seven have been disbanded for different reasons, leav- ing an active Chapter list of twenty-five at present. The purpose for which the organization was formed is "to promote social unity amongst dental students generally; to im- prove their intellectual advantages and op- portunities; to establish a fraternal feeling and brotherhood among them, and to pro- mote moral rectitude." The Suoreme Chapter formed in 1901 is the legislative body and meets biennially. Representation is permitted all Subordinate Chapters and Alumni Associations from members chosen directly from the active membership. The official publication of the Fraternitv is the Quarterly, published since 1899. The present Supreme Chapter members, constituting the Board of Directors, are as follows : Dr. H. A. Roan, Supreme President, Min- neapolis, Minn. Dr. J. E. Schaefer, Supreme 1st Vice-Presi- dent, Chicago, 111. Dr. R. E. Luther, Supreme 2d Vice-Presi- dent, Rochester, N. Y. Dr. C. C. Markey, Supreme Secretary- Treasurer, Chicago, 111. Dr. C. L. Storms, Supreme Editor, Buffalo, N. Y. Members of Board: Dr. A. Hoffman, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. D. W. Adams, Chicago, 111. Dr. L. M. Waugh, New York, N. Y. Dr. V. Nillson, Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. H. B. Pinney, Chicago, 111. Active membership of the Subordinate Chapters January 1, 1915, 720; Alumni membership approximately 6000. The organization of the Alumni into a National body with State and local compon- ent parts, follows the lines of the National Dental Society. At present there are fifteen such component societies. The National Alumni Association meets annually at the time and place of the Na- tional Dental Society meeting. The officers of this organization for the year 1914-15 are: President — Dr. A. J. Bush, Columbus. Ohio. Vice-President — Dr. C. O. Simpson, St. Louis, Mo. Secretary — Dr. M. R. Eshelman, Buffalo, N. Y. Treasurer — Dr. F.

Colgate's Ribbon Dental Cream What It Does It cleans teeth. Its chalk base has body enough for thorough cleansing, and for polishing the teeth to natural whiteness. It pleases the user by its delicious flavor — promoting regular use. And what it does not do It does not scratch or cut. The chalk we use is of our own manufacture, rigidly tested chemically and microscopically. No commercial chalk that we could purchase was free from insoluble and crystalline matter. No absurd medicinal claims are made. Its slight alkaline re- action and its mild antisepsis are as close as a dentifrice should come to medication. Where a medicament is necessary, treat- ment ought to be sitrictly a matter of professional direction. For those of the profession who prefer a dentifrice in powder form — Colgate's Antiseptic Dental Powder is equally to be commended. Rince Bouche is a most re- freshing mouth wash. Our booklet, "Architects of American Dentistry," is of interest to both the profession and the public. It should be on 3'our reception room table for patients to read. A complimentary copy may be obtained at the Colgate Booth or on request to COLGATE & COMPANY, 199 Fulton St., New York City Established 1806 #Kl "SXM^ The Teter Gas-Oxygen Apparatus The Teter regulated-pressure apparatus is the invention of an anesthetist who has devoted all his life to the developing of this form of anesthetic. Regulators are built in the head of the apparatus, which reduce the high pressures of the gases and permit them to pass to the patient in a gentle, even, steady flow at all times. The controlling valves are so arranged that an increased quantity of one gas may be given without interfering with the quan- tity flow of the other. By heating the gases with our vapor warmer (either alcohol or electric), much less gas is needed. Warm gases always pro- duce a deeper and more tranquil anesthesia and at the same time eliminate all the irritating effects which usually follow the use of cold gases. In ANALGESIC work no assistant is necessary, because the apparatus runs as it is set. If you wish the best results at the lowest cost, buy a "TETER." Send for catalogue and literature.

S. White Dental Manufacturing Company The House that more than all others has contributed to the upliit of modern dentistry by the superior efficiency of its products Some of Its Contributions In 1846, Porcelain Teeth, its first product, were practically universally commended as affording "a more exact imitation of nature," . . . "relieved of that bold glaring appearance," . . . "beautifully trans- lucent, having a lively, vital appearance." In the late sixties, it introduced with its now well-known Trade ffll§) Mark Steel Instruments and Forceps of a perfection in adaptability, temper and finish theretofore undreamed-of. In 1871 it gave the profession the first all-metal chair. In 1872 it brought out the first Electric Dental Engine— before its time; today, its Electric Engines are marvels of speed, power, control, smooth- running and durability. In 1874 it introduced the Cable Engine. In 1885 it standardized Gold Plates and Solders, that before had been apparently made by rule-of-thumb. In 1891 it gave the profession the " Revelation " Bur — the " perfection of design for dentists' burs, the perfection of workmanship in executing the design." In 1908 it presented the Diamond Chair, the simplest, smoothest work- ing of all hydraulic chairs, — the present standard of the world of dentistry. In 1914 it perfected the S. S. W^hite Nitrous Oxid and Oxygen Apparatus, whose accurate control of the gases has standardized analgesic and anes- thetic practice. For fifty-six years it has published the "Dental Cosmos," the mouth- piece of the profession's aspirations toward higher standards, — scientific and practical, — the one magazine willing to assume the enormous expense of illustration necessary to give dentistry representation among the fore- most scientific periodicals of the world. During its entire career — seventy-one years — its products have been universally recognized as the standard of efficiency in dentists' supplies HEADQUARTERS ■ Chestnut Street, cor.

Ney Cotnpany., owners of The First American Gold Refinery, established in Hart- ford, Connecticut, nearly one hundred and four years ago, and never closed meantime, except on Sundays and holidays. The Committee wanted the World's Best Gold. ISN'T it good to be here for a while, away from professional routine? We're glad you can enjoy this relaxation, and catch the inspiration from closer contact with your confreres. Since the Rochester Congress, you've read a lot. Doctor, about Ney's Dental Golds, Solders, etc., the World's Best since 1 81 2, the Standard by which all other brands, domestic and foreign, are rated. Have you used them meantime? You haven't? Too bad, for you and your patients! Did you view suspiciously our claims of Ney's demonstrable superiority? Did you think them too good to be true? Did you judge that we "could not afford to sell the World's Leaders at only a slight increase over the prices demanded for inferior brands?" You did? Then nom's your opportunity to prove if ive exaggerated an iota. Will you improve it? Welcome to our Booth. Awaiting your rigid inspection is a complete line of Ney's Prod- ucts, taken from regular stock — no' "groomed" or "doctored" for this occasion! You may order any or all of our exhibit. Your selectio.i will be billed at our current prices and deliv- ered directly after the Congress adjourns. Divergent views exist as to the relative importance of outlays for dentists' supplies. But golds and solders are exempt, because they comprise more than one-third of dentists' outlays. Dentists agree that, to reach the highest professional reputation, they must use only best golds and solders. These can be had only from long-established manufacturers, who are past mas- ters in the subtle intricacies of producing articles that will be always uniform and homogene- ous. Norv's your time to investigate Qualities, Reputations, and Facilities. Promiscuous buying is a big menace. It will handicap your technique. Doctor, for mere- tricious golds and solders mill shatter unsullied reputations. But regulated and right buying will effect great savings. By using Ney's Golds exclusively, you can in a short time earn enough to pay the cost of your trip here and back. Good work and money-saving jvill persist so long as you rely Tvholly upon Ney's. Why not do it? Do not neglect to register in our Visitors' Record ! Some months hence it will insure your receiving from us a reminder that you'll appreciate. It will be as perfect, beautiful, valu- able and durable as all Ney's products are. What is it? That's a secret today, but you'll find our souvenir worth ivaiting for.

Trubyte bicuspids and molars, alone among porce- lain teeth, can properly tear, crack, cut and grind food at the pressures possible through artificial dentures. Trubyte teeth are easier to articulate, more comfort- able to wear, more natural in appearance and more ef- ficient in mastication than any other porcelain teeth.
