Women in the Dental Profession,

Several women were graduated at
various dental colleges in this coun-
try and have begun active practice.
Miss Grace Newton Shirley took high
est honorg at the University of Buffalo
commencement in n class of eighty
five. She is n Cincinnati girl and a
half sister of Miss Nina Newton. a
promising young artist. Miss Shir-
ley was the only woman in her class
when she took. the degree of doctor
OF dentistry. At the commencement
Of the Ohio College Of Dental Surgery
In Cincinnati the same degree was
conferred on three women out of a
class of sixty-one. These were Miss
Ada A. Farr, of Michigan; Miss u. A.
Snyder, of Ohio, and Miss Hedy To-
hcrnic. of Germany. Miss Tohernic
WIS already an NJ. d. of the Univer-
sity Of Geneva. Four out of twelve
of the years graduates of the New
York Dental School were women.
Women have been more than fairly
successful in the practice of dentistry
In the United States. There are only
n few women in the profession in Eng
land, and a number of these took their
degrees here. 1t is said that n clear
majority of the women dentists of
Germany went to that country from
America.

There is not the smallest room for
doubt that much of the success of the
modern woman of fashion in the race
for the golden prize for beauty is due
to the skilIfuI efforts of those who
help IN the matter of arrangement of
couture. treatment of the figure and
identifying of the complexion. The
vogue for brilliant complications
sometimes a natural gift but more
often attained only by patience and
mastery treatment-was never more
pronounced than now. Let it be said
that these compilations are not the
result of any doubtful applications of
powder and rouge. Far from it, for
these things are only for the profess
sional woman who must make up
with little loss of time. or for the
masses, who apply them without stint,
and without the. saving grace of eff
fectiveness. Miladi's sunburn is now

HYBTERIA
Net Confucd to Han. but Found II
Animals Also.


| That animals are subject to attacks
] OF hysteria is a discovery made by
physicians. Yet the two cases recorded
In the Neurolog!sches Centralblatt By
Or. H. Higher seem to leave no doubt
about the matter. The animals that
were affected were a cat and canary
respectively. The cat, which was niEe
months old. healthy and active, was
one day deeply bitten in the back by a
dog, and Immediately fell down paral-
yzed. When DR.. Higher first saw it.
five or six weeks after the injury, 1t
walked only with its fore paws, drag
ging It's body and hind limbs. There
was complete loss Of sensation in the
hind paws and in the hinder third OF
the body, both sides OF the abdomen
and back of the animal being indiffer-
ent to d b punctures with needle
and to H0 applications, but it always
responded to gentle touching In the
front half of. the body. The tail was
paralyZed, but none OF the limbs
etrophied, as is usual In such cases.
DR.. Higher considered that the cat was
suffering from an inflammation of the
spinal cord, but what occasioned him
surprise was the fact that the animal
gave no positive signs other than the
paralysis. One day the servant girl,
being curious TO see whether the cat
would fall on all tours. as cats usually
do. threw It from the first floor Of tho
house on to the pavement AS a mat
ter OF fact It alighted On all tours, i'm
mediately ran away, and was, contrary
to expectation, completely cured Of its
sensory and motor paralysis, which
had lasted for more than two months.
The cat, therefore, really had no lesion
OF the spinal cord at all, and all It's
symptoms were due to the fright ex-
perienced by the bite Of the dog. In
other words, the cat was manifestly
suffering from an attack OF hysteria.
Or. Higier's second case showed itself
In a canary whose cage, with the bird
IN 1t, was pulled down from the wall
by cat, but DIR. Higher interposed be-
fore the cat seized 1t. The bird lay On
the bottom Of the cage. stiff as II dead.
but was revived by sprinkiing with
cold water. after which it was lively,
took Its food well, and showed no abb
normality except that from having
been fine singer 1t became silent. For
six weeks the bird never uttered a
note, then this condition passed off
quite Unexpectedly, and the canary
once more sang very well. DR.. Higher
also refers to three cases mentioned by
DR.. Tourette in which dogs showed
historical SYMPTOMS.
