Mrs. Elizabeth Trenaman, wife of
Robert A. Trenaman, died at her
home, 1913 Fourth avenue, very sud-
denly this morning, aged &c years.
She had been a sufferer from heart
trouble for some time. and retired
last evening very tired after an I'M
usual amount of eNertion during the
day. AT an early hour this morning
Mr.. friedman was attracted to her
room, as she seemed to be in pain.
She. however became quiet again,
and her husband did not return to
her until about O'Clock, when he
entered her room and found that she
had just passed away, her death
seeming to have been very peaceful.
The demise was undoubtedly due to
heart trouble. Deceased was n native
of Marlborough, Scotland. and had
been n resident of the city since 1850
She leaves. besides her husband, two
sons. Robert NJ. and John NJ, both
of this city. During her long resi-

friends who will learn with sorrow
of her demise.

Progress of the Profession

History informs us that years ago
dentistry was at a low tide. 1t was
practiced principally by blacksmiths,
BARRIERS and watchmakers; men with
out any professional education wha:-
ever, The principal feature OF the
profession at that time was the art
of extracting teeth. Men with Drawn
and muscle were thought only to be
eligible to this vocation. If mans
tooth allied him. he Immediately re-
paired to the blacksmith who applied
the only remedy, that of cold steel
and in very unpleasant manner;
but now under the improved meth
DDS adopted by your profession, the
tooth may be saved, and if necessary
to be extracted, can watt him away
into pleasant dreams and extract the
tooth without his knowledge. You also
have the advantage over your prede-
cessors in the fact that if you do ex-
tract his teeth, YOU can give
new ones in return. Surely, gentle
men, you have made great progress
in your profession. | will not detain
