The eighth semi. annual session of the
Maine Dental Society met at Masonic Hall,
in Thomasson, Wednesday, March IL, at 8
P. NJ. The profession was well represented
from the different localities Of the State. Be-
fore calling to urder-by previous arrange
ment-the members paid visit to the State
Prison, and were very courteously received
by the warden and deputy, and after viewing
the prisoners, free pass was allowed each
man without retention of durance vile.
The meeting vas called to order by the
President, DR.. Roberts. In the absence of
the Secretary, DR.. Chamberlain was appoint
ed Secretary pro TEN.
DR.. Thos. Filebrown of Lewiston read an
essay upon Anesthetics, citing the cases of
death Of Miss Arie in Boston with the use Of
chloroform and Mrs. Homans of Lynn while
under ether, showing how by the physlologi-
cal action of chloroform, specifically paralyz-
ing the nerves of the heart, induce sudden
death and, as the heart is the handspring of
life, there is no power back of that to resus-
citate life. While in the case Of Mrs. IIo-
mans the patient had been reduced by Sc
we're abcessed tumor, which had been preyi-
ously operated upon, and that the second op-
Grafton and depletion was alone sufficient to
produce death without the aid Of ether. The
physiological action of ether is gradual and
UNIFORM. inducing in order: First, sensation,
loss of voluntary motion, involuntary motion
lastly, respiration, then the action of the
heart-before death will ensue-so that the
stage Of etherizaton should be carried so far
as to suspend Precipitation, the heart contin-
ues 10 beat and while the handspring contin-
ues to move there is chance to recover the pa
tient All that is practicable with the use Of
chloroform, either is capable of efiecting
without nyolving danger. Nitrous oxide was
spoken of as convenient and safe, but its ac-
ton was different from the other two agents.
long discussion ensued upon the patho-
logical condition of the patient under the in
tuence of these different agents and the best
methods Of administration.
EVENING SESSION.
Dr. Williams of North Vassalboro' read an
excellent essay upon Dental Cavities, by in
vitation OF the society. as he is not member
and is not eligible to become a member till
i've years practice are accomplished. The
paper proved him to be master of his subject
and that he merits front rank in the profes.
sion. Some Of his specimens also prove that
lie has attained to a high proficiency as an op-
orator.
The treatment of Sensitive Cavities was
discussed. How TO manage in excavating.
One member occasionally slightly etherizes
his patient. Others generally advocate the
use of excavaors very sharp and treating the
patient gently, to gain their confidence.
