can assure the public that there is no busl-
ness that requires more practice to make
perfect than Dentistry business, and II they
would realize, as those who have CXpe.
renced, the great injury done by nal
practice in Den'is'ry they would guard
against employing imposiors. am sorry
TO be under The dsHgreeable necess'iy OF
speaking puhhcky OF a young man by the
name of John Lewis, who adver,ises the
practice of Dentistry in this place, but as
he has travelled oul of his path and made
an unwarrantuble use of my name to give
himself currency in the Dentist business,
Justice to the public as well as myself re-
ouires that ] should state some facts IN re.
lalion to Mr. Lewis and his qualifications,
or rather want of qualifications Mr..
Lewis entered my office last May, under n
contract to work for me for the space Of
two years at the Whllesnl'h business and
making and repairing Mu-ca instruments,
and the Mechanical part OF Dentistry.
He left my employ nnceremonously 10
January last: about three fonrlhs OF the
eight months time he was with me he
worked at Organs, occasionally assisting
me in the chemical operations Of Manuiac
turing parcclaln teeth ! never entered
into any understanding with Mr. Lewis 10
learn him Dentistry, and during the time
he was with me, ] never directed or per.
mitled him to perform any operations in
Dentistry. except the mere mechanical part
of Manufacturing the Materials for nov
operations; aud | am not aware Of hi.
ever practising Dentistry, or tina, he ever
int err ded to practice, until saw his adver
tisement. ] had Manufactured teeth and
materials before Mr.. Lewis came to work
for me, and continue to Manufacture them
and am prepared to instruct others how to
manufacture hem. as well as can be done
in the United States, but the art canno, be
acquired in a few weeks, or even few
months. Ali the knowledge Mr. Lewis has
in even the Mechanical part OF Dentistry he
acquired from me IN the manner above sta.
ted.
have been thus particular in detailing
the history Of Mr.. Lewis education IN Sur
geon Dentistry, IN order TO caution lh'
public against believing every Quack' ad
verllsemenl. 1t requires no logic to CON
vince sensible people that it does not follow
ofcourse that The Whitesmllh who manu-
features the Surgeons instruments, knows
how, when and where, to use them as skill
fully as the surgeon himself
