PASSING OF THE
10TH CENTURY
Continued from 1St mar

The century has seen the larger
growth and development of the |
five new sciences; Agriculture, |
Chemistry, Geology, Archaeology |
and Anthropology. 1t is true that |
some of these had crude beginnings, F.
but not an independent and rccog-
nized standing until the present
age.
1t has seen an amazing develop
ment in the Science of Medicine
and the manner of the treatment of
all forms of disease. This is an
age of Specialists. There has been
an astonishing progress in surgery
along all lines of work: The in
vention of great numbers of in
strumcnts, and different forms of
auxiliaries in the processes Of
treatment. The same is true of the
Science of Dentistry. 18th Cen
fury Dentistry" is a growth all to
itself.
Reviewing some of the century's
wonderful development we can
say with truth:
BLESSINGS on Science, md her hand
[maid, Steam:
They make Utopia only half a drea m;
And show the fcrvent of capacious
[souls,
Who watch the ball of Progress as it
rolls,
That all as yet completed or begun,
Is but dawning that precedes the
[Sun."
