In thus recounting brieiiv the activities of Professor Buckley, themerest out- line has been given. He has read numerous papers before different dental organi- zations, bringing out new and important discoveries in practical. therapeutics. The formocresol treatment of pulpless teeth. a method which has almost revo- lutionized the management of putrescent cases. is due to his initiative, as well as the more recently introduced desensitizing paste for the control of sensitive cavities. He has compounded manv drugs into preparations for the treatment of various pathological conditions found in the mouth, and has thereby been of immense service to the profession and to humanity. Personally Professoif Buckley has many charming attributes. I-le is genial, companionable and always entertaining. As a public speaker he is Huent, magnetic and interesting. :Xpt in his illustrations, ready in his wit. and convincing in his logic, he never fails to hold his audience in rapt attention.
