The prognosis z Slnniana imma! Qlinllzge 1 1904 Qnmral P. G. C. Hunt, which made the society do- reverence to the honorable old practitioner, whose name it had adopted. He continued his remarks by discussing the origin of den- tistry and dental prosthesis. Dentistry was encouraged during the Alexandrian age, but suffered a downfall in the dark ages. After this time, barbers did the extracting and jewelers did the filling.

The 1BflJgIID5f5 1 gmnfana wwral Qtnmge 1 1904 annual x PORCELAIN AS A FILLING MATERIAL ' By JOHN Q. BYRAM, D. D. S. i ANY of those who engaged in the prac- QT QQ an tice of dentistry, before it was consid- ered a profession, expressed a desire to N W Hnd a Hlling material that wo-uld satisfy the esthetic sense by approaching the R color of the natural teeth.
