DR.. r. S. Towne presided as toast
master. In his opening address he
stressed the point that dental as

known were of recent origin. He
said that the old idea of keeping Sc

profession had passed away. Now
dental surgeons were anxious to help
not only the cause of public health
but to pass on any ideas that might aid
the dentist to make his work more
perfect and elevate the standards of
the profession.
Governor Nestos was then intro

more paying attention to general
welfare"
