notes: label: Description
content: Charles G. Myers (b. 1865), a graduate of the Baltimore College of Dentistry and Surgery who became a professor in the Dental Department of the Homeopathic Medical School in Cleveland, designed a dental syringe for placing anesthetic fluid where it might be most effective. The inscription on the purple sash in the lid of the case of this example reads in part: “Myer's Dental Obtunder Syringe.” Obtunder means “that which blunts.”
