MORE TINE GIVEN DENTISTRY
Dental Educational Council Raises
Standard Especially to MedicO- Dentist

standard Especially to MedicO- Dentist
The Dental Educational Council of
America through its secretary, DR..
Albert L. Midgley, of Providence, RI,
recently issued the following state
ment: The course of study for degree
IN dentistry in the United States will
be heightened from four years to five.
All the dental schools will be brought
to higher standard of excellence, es-
pecially in medico-dental subjects.
Hereafter in the preservation of the
general health of the individual, there
will be closer cooperation between the
physician and the dentist. These re-
suits will follow a survey and cIassi-
tication of Dental Schools recently
completed by the Dental Educational
Council of America. Great changes
are taking place in dental education
owing to recent discoveries of the in
innate connection between the coudi-
tiOn Of the teeth and general health.
1t has been clearly shown that decav-
ed and abscessed teeth often cause
heart disease, rheumatism, neuritis,
eczema, mental disorders and other
serious diseases. So important has
the relation between sound teeth and
good health become that it is neces-
sary now to raise educational stand
ards in order to prepare students
properly to meet the public needs and
to maintain the position of worldwide
supremacy that American Dentistry
has always held. The rapid forward
trend in dental education is shown by
the fact that many privately owned
schools have become recently organic
parts of Universities. There is no
doubt that the few remaining schools
of this type will take the same course
in the near future. A prescribed min
imum standard for dental schools is
fixed by the Council, and all existing
institutions have been classified in ae-
cordance with this standard. Two
classes, ga" and "B", are allowed for
! schools whose curriculum, teaching
staff, equipment and methods are con-
sidered high enough to justify the ex-
pectatiOn that their graduates can

State Dental Examining Boards and
will become effective Registered Den
fists. The University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, is in Class A, and Uni
versity of Maryland, Baltimore, is in
Glass B. Schools placed in class "C''
by the Council are believed to need
such thorough reorganization that the
Council will recommend to the various
State Dental Examining Boards that
their graduates be barred from regis
tration pending action by the officials
of the schools so classified to bring
their institutions up to the minimum
standard set by the Educational Coun-
Gil.

HOW DOCTORS

First Step in Treatment Is Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets That Are Nausealess,
Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat and influence can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment is the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, which
are free from the sickening and weak
ening effects of the old style calomal.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go long way to-
wards preventing influenza and colds
and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient 10
successfully withstand an attack and
ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri-
fed, and you are feeling fine, with u
hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen
uine Calotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-fiye
