Pioneers in Dental
Work Were Americans

The first dentist to fill the
nerve cavity with gold was Edward
Maynard, who was born In Madi-
son, N. j.. 112 years ago. Besides
introducing the gold filling May
nard was the inventor Of many of
the instruments now used by dental
surgeons.
Doctor Maynard had, indeed, a
varied career, first setting out to
be soldier, but resigning from
the military academy. at West
Point because of Ill health. In 1885
he graduated in dental surgery, set
tling in Washington, where he prac.
ticed for 55 years.
While Doctor Maynard was ex-
perimenting with improved appli-
ances for the profession, DR.. Will
liam T. G. Norton, Boston dentist,
relieved dental work Of much of Its
horror by inventing ethereal anes-
thesia. This was in 1874, Il few
years after the first dental col
lege in America was opened in Bal
timOre. ga
Doctor Maynard also invented
the Maynard breech-lOading rifle,
patented In 1851.

Odd Substitution of
Letters in Language

Readers of Dickens, Thackeray
and the earlier numbers of Punch
were familiar with a vulgarism
that once crept into the English
language-the pronunciation of "w''
for "v." 1T was inherited in the
London dialect from neighboring
country dialects Of the Fifteenth
century, a writer. says in Serb.
ner'S Magazine. Henry Machyn,
a merchant tailor of Elizabeth's
time, wrote In his diary value
for value, "woice" for voice, "waga-
bondes" for vagabonds. and "vom-
an" for woman. Noah Webster,
In. his Dissertations on the Eng
lish Language" Boston, 1850. re.
marked: 1.-THE pronunciation Of W
for is a prevailing practice IN
England and America it is partlcu-
larly prevalent In Boston and Phil
adelphia." He added in a footnote
that he never once heard the pro-
nunciation in Connecticut. The
practice used to be ridiculed by
an old line that ran: "Weal, wine
gar and wenison make very good
witties. ! wow."
