Page 120 - The pain subsided temporarily whenever the teeth were pressed firmly together or upon any substance held between them, but only to return when the pressure was withdrawn. The presence of anything cold in the mouth immediately produced the most exquisite pain; moderate heat produced a soothing effect. After two months the pain became continuous, and four molars were extracted without in any way relieving it. On the contrary, the pain increased in severity until October, when it ceased entirely for...

Page 72 - OF THE PROFESSION AND THE PUBLIC. Dentists are frequent witnesses, and, at the same time, the best judges of the impositions perpetrated by quacks, and it is their duty to enlighten and warn the public in regard to them. For this and many other benefits conferred by the competent and honorable dentist, the profession is entitled to the confidence and respect of the public, who should always discriminate in favor of the true man of science and integrity against the empiric and impostor.
Page 438 - Never allow rubber plaster to come in contact with a surface uncovered by normal skin. Since it cannot be sterilized by heat it must be considered as being dirty. Before operating, always find out whether the patient has any malarial history. The discovery of this fact will save you many a bad scare when temperature rises suddenly after operation.
Page 215 - Section i. Each state society may send one for every ten of its active members as delegates to this association for one year, upon complying with the requirements of its constitution; but no society shall be entitled to representation that does not adopt or substantially recognize the Code of Ethics of this association.
