Dentists VIII Have to Pay Sheffield.

Dentists VIII Have to Pay Sheffield.
The decision of the United States dis
trict court, confirming Dentist T. T.
Shefiields patent rights to dental
crown and bridge work, means that
many millions of dollars will have to
be paid to Sheffield by the dentists of
the United States, all of whom, it is
said, have been using for years the
patents which he had secured. The
dentist lives at Geneva, N. Y, and is
now the head of a company known as
the National Tooth Crown Company,
which has control of the patents
There is not much doubt that dentists
doing large business are going to be
hit hard. The dental company, l be-
lieve, hopes to extract an average of
$4,000 from each dentist in the coun-
try, to cover the infringement of pat
ents during years past. So far as I
can see, there is no way in which den
lists can escape payment, unless they
have not the wherewithal to pay. The
company will sue the men who do not
pay up voluntarily, and 1 suppose dem
lists, when sued, can be compelled to
bring their books into court A good
many dentists, however, do not keep
Gny books 1.-The Sheffield company
anticipates, it is stated, collecting any
where from $10,O0O,OOO to 100000, 900.
Every dentist is supposed to know how
to work pull but the man will be
lucky who can beat the Sheffield COM
pany."
