THE MORNING SESSION.
At 9 o'clock the meeting was called
to order. The minutes of the evening
session were read and approved.
Drs. A. L. Brown and A H. Thompson
were appointed to serve on the board o.
censors.
DR.. w. A. McCarter. of Topeka. read an
interesting paper on Gold and Tin" He
strongly recommends the use of gold and
tin in the filling of very difficult cavaties,
especially those whose servited margins
were way above the gum. He also urged the
use of gold and tin to fill the most of the
cavity, finishing the contour with gold.
This question elected heated discussion
which was participated in by large num-
Der Of the members.
The discussion was opened by Dr. c. z.
Esterly. He stated that the gold and
tin he did not use AS much as formerly,
but it still had its place, in the filing of
children's teeth
DR.. J. D. Patterson, of Kansas City did
! OF believe that there was any advantage
in using gold and tin. He did not use it
at all.
DR.. Hungerford, also of Kansas City,
never used it. He believed that the use of
tin and gold were used by non-adepts. He
said he thought there was a chemical COM
bination between tin and gold. Il think
the preservation from decay is only by
adaptation. 1t is an easy material to
work, but has not the advantage of ANAL
gam"
| DR.. Mathews. of Wichiua-"I never saw
any cause to use it. The combination is
no softer than either one alone"
| DR.. McKelop spoke at length
upon the subject. 1t is subject, he
said, that has been discussed by
members of the profession for many years
back. 1T has some very strong advocates
and some very formidable opponents Two
years ago, before the Mississippi Valley
association, we had lengthy discussion
on this subject. As far as chemical action
in uniting the two metals is concerned, l
can say nothing about, but the point they
claim is its preservative powers and easy
manipulation. They say it has better
effect on tooth structure than gold alone
which most emphatically deny. 1 chal-
lenge any man to adapt that to the cavity
any better than / can gold"
This ended the discussion upon that
question
Another paper on Inconsistency and
discord," by DR.. Fl. w. Davis, of Ottawa,
Kan, was read. The paper provoked
lively and sharp discussion, and coming
from one of the younger members of the
profession, it was much commended.
