A TREATISE ON ORAL DEFORMITIES, as a Branch

 President of the Board of Censors of the State of New York, late Dean of 

 the New York College of Dentistry and Professor of Dental Art and Mech- 

 anism, etc., etc. 



With over 350 Illustrations. One vol., 8vo. Cloth, $5; sheep, $6. 



" I have read with great pleasure and much 

 profit your valuable ' Treatise on Oral Deformi- 

 ties.' The work contains much original matter 

 of great practical value, and is full of useful in- 

 formation, which will be of great benefit to the 

 profession." LEWIS A. SAYRE, M. D., LL. D., 

 Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Clinical 

 Surgery, Bellevue Hospital Medical College. 



' ' A casual glance at this work might impress 

 the reader with the idea that its contents were of 

 more practical value to the dentist than to the 

 general practitioner or surgeon. But it is by no 

 means a mere work on dentistry, although a prac- 

 tical knowledge of the latter art seems to be es- 

 sential to the carrying out of the author's views 

 regarding the correction of the different varieties 

 of oral deformities of which he treats. We would 

 be doing injustice to the work did not we make 

 particular reference to the masterly chapter on the 

 treatment of fractures of the lower jaw. The 

 whole subject is so thoroughly studied that noth- 

 ing is left to be desired by any surgeon who wish- 

 es to treat these fractures intelligently and success- 

 fully. The work, as a whole, bears marks of 

 originality in every section, and impresses the 

 reader with the painstaking efforts of the author 

 to get at the truth, and apply it in an ingenious 

 and practical way to the wants of the general 

 practitioner, the surgeon, and the dentist."

" The profession is to be congratulated on 

 possessing so valuable an addition to its litera- 

 ture, and the author to be unstintedly praised for his successful issue to an arduous undertaking. The work 

 bears, in a word, every evidence of having been written leisurely and with care. . . ." Dental Cosmos.

" I consider it to be the most valuable work that has ever appeared in this country in any department 

 of the science of dental surgery. 



"There is no doubt of its great value to every man who wishes to study and practice this branch 

 of surgery, and I hope it may be adopted as a text-book in every dental college, that the students may 

 have the benefit of the great experience of the 

 author. 



" It places many things between the covers of 

 one book which heretofore I have been obliged to 

 look for in many directions, and often without 

 success." FRANK ABBOT, M. D., Dean of the 

 New York College of Dentistry. 



' ' The writer does not hesitate to express his 

 btjlief that the chapters on the ' aesthetics of den- 

 tistry ' will be found of more practical value to 

 the prosthetic dentist than all the other essays 

 on this subject existent in the English language. 

 ... A perusal of its pages seems to compel the 

 mind to advance in directions variously indi- 

 cated ; so variously, indeed, that there is hardly 

 a page of the book which does not contain some 

 important truth, some pregnant hint, or some 

 valuable conclusion." Dental Miscellany. 



' ' I congratulate you on having written a 

 book containing so much valuable and original 

 matter. It will prove of value not only to den- 

 tists, but also to surgeons and physicians." 

 FRANK HASTINGS HAMILTON, M. D., LL. D., 

 Professor of the Practice of Surgery with Opera- 

 tions, and of Clinical Surgery in Bellevue Hos- 

 pital Medical College.
