posing to plug teeth for from % cents to
| S1.OO, with all other work in like proper
ton, and cheap as the cheapest, extract
ing teeth without pain, &c, dc.

The following resolution was introduced {:
Resolved, That we, the members of the
East Tennessee Dental Association, after
duly considering the many charges recently
made against the use of amalgam as ma
terial for filing natural teeth, are of the
opinion that if properly manipulated it is
perfectly harmless to the tooth structure !;
and further, that the charges that its use
would cause any constitutional trouble is
| without ground or foundation that SO far
as the use of amalgams being the cause of
| cancer as has been intimaled in the case of
Senator Hill, it is the opinion of this Asso-
citation, with their knowledge of the nature
of amalgam, that the charge is utterly out
of reason.
