A Dlstingui.hed stomatoIogIst.

This week there has entered Sonora to engage in the practice Of his pro- fessiOn, Doctor Geo. w. Cool, D. D. S., F. $. C., from Oakland, California. Doctor Cool is stomatolOgist of wide and extended reputation, and with his brother, Doctor Russel II. Cool of Oakland, California, ranks at the head of the dental profession of the Pacific Coast. He is graduate of the dental department of the University of Cali fornia, and is fellow Of the StomatO- ligal Club, which is the leading dental organization, or post graduate school Of the world, and the degree of fellow ship in that club Is the most coveted and valued distinction to which den tist can aspire. Doctor Cool is now president of the Oakland Dental Club, to which position he was unanimously elected, and at the last meeting of the California State Dental Society he was the recipient of distinguished honors, and his clinics were highly compli- mented, not only by the society, but by dental journals in the east. He Is a delegate representing the Stomato- logical Club before all scientific bodies abroad, and has contributed no little to the scientific literature of his chosen profession.
 As ! stin atologist Doctor Cool is not only mechanical and operative dentist, but, as the term implies, he is general oral surgeon, treating scientifically pathological conditions which arise from complications caused by diseased teeth.
