SECOND DAY.

The CITY is now filled with gentlemen of
the dental profession, as the Illinois state
dental convention has as its guests the
Iowa state society whose annual meeting is
held at Davenport.
Last evening the members of the Illinois
society visited Davenport and participated
while there made arrangements for the
members of the Iowa society to visit Rock
Island to-day. The Iowa society has no
session to-day, and consequently its dele
gates in large numbers came over to this
city and are taking part in the deliberations
of the Illinois society.
CLINICS.
There was no formal business session
of the association this morning but the
forenoon was occupied in performing den
tai operations which required special
knowledge and apparatus for their execu-
ton
The drill hall of the Rodman Rifles was
metamorphosed into large operating
room where the various operations desig
mated in the programme for the clinic of
this morning were performed. Six chairs
and the implements used were arranged
about the room, while many martyrs
for the progress of science were esconsed
themselves on the adjustable seats, and
subjected their incisors tie the different
methods of repair and improvement. The
patients became the observed of all observ-
ers to the performing dentists as well as to
the many who were intently watching the
operations
THE OPERATORS
This mornings clinic was conducted by
c. b. Rohland Alton; E. C. Stone, Gales
burg; E. D. Swain, Chicago; R. II. Antes,
Geneseo; c. H. Harrington, Delavan; and

As might naturally be expected great diff
ficulty was experienced in procuring pa
tients who were willing to have operations
performed upon them in such a public
manner. However some few were found,
and upon them the dental profession of the
two states concentrated for the time being
their attention.
DR.. Rohand was principally engaged in
demonstrating the use and benefits to be
derived from the electro magnetic mallet.
He made practical illustrations of the
points advanced.
DR. Swain, of Chicago, adjusted artificial
trated that several methods could be en-
ployed with equal success. This operation
attracted general attention.
Several other interesting operations were
performed by the other conductors of the
clinical exercises.
