Those of you who are familiar with forma- | lin know how deadly it is to all forms of bac- terial life. It will siop decay in the teeth and not discolor them. I have been using it for over a year aud Ican report nothing but suc- cess. Ii you are filiing a tooth have your cavity prepared. Harden it with formalin (40 per cent) for five minutes, then dry and coat with varnish of Canada balsam, containing 2 per cent of formaiin. Now as 10 cieansing the teeth by the pa- tient. lam s greaf believer in pyrozone aud tell my patients if they will use it three times & day thoroughly they will not have much need of my services. 1 recommend 3 per cent medielnal, full strength. First I have them cleanse their teeth with a powder cormposed of precipitated chalk, 4 parts; magnesia, 2 pacis; pulv. crris root, 2 parts: boric acid, 2 parts, sweetening with saccharine and flavor- Ing to suit. I explain how this can be made at bome and insist on their doing it them- selves, For a toothbrush [ presctibe the prophy- Iactic (medium), witn the last two rows of brist.es cut off. * A toothbrush must not be too large, must b easily cleansed and must clean the teeth. Ali this can be accomplished with the prophylactic. One word more about the brushing o: the tooth; Teil them not to brush the gums off, but down onto the .eeth. Now, after rinsing the mouth & 1 per cent formalin solution, which I advise them to use in plsce of water when cleansing the teeth, the mouth is ready for the pyrozone. A piece of absorbent cotton is satu- Tated with pyrozone and is rubbea with the finger in beiween the tooth for a minute. After using the pyrozone tell tnem not to rinse out the mouth with water. This ho'ds gcod for any mouthwash. For a toothpick my pref- erence is one of those thin-bladed gold ones. When once the people fully realize that bac- teria alone are the cause of their decayed teeth and that it is possible by proper treaiment to so harden the teeth that they will resist the solvent action of bacteria dentistry will have become & profession Joved by mankind, and to be calied a dentist will be an honor. Dr. F. L. Payne opened the discussion, and was followed by W. A. Bryant, F. C. Payne, J. M. Whitney, G. W.' Gray, Emma T, Reed, H. W. Moore, 8. J. Bar- ber and N. R. Cox, all of whom spoke in the highest praise of Dr. Hart's work. He closed the discussion with a few re- marks, thanking the gentlemen for tieir commendation. A paper by Cecil Corwin of Oakland on “The Influence of Science on Modern Civilization” concludea the programme. L. A. League and C. L. Goddard discussed the paper. | _Upon the convening of the evening ses- | sion W. ¥.

By far the most carefully prepared paper | presented 10 the congress was that of Dr. A. C. Hart of this City. His subject, “‘Stomatological Bacteria—the Cause of | Decay in ‘teeth. Immuniiy, and How | Obtained,” is one of general inierest. | As & projession we know that becteria alone is'the vause of decay in peopie’s teeth. Are we using the mesns in our hands to stop de- cay?

Doctors are those teachers whose profession is the treatment and cure of diseas«. De:tisiry has the pame of being a money- making profession. We fill & patient’s teeth with gold, if we can, at the rate of $1 for §10, but during the operstion he is consiantly re. minded of the swful amount of gold it is tak- iug. Weshow him the goid in a form well de- gned to deceive, and then mine it in tiik he fu.ly velieves bis skull is lined with it, and in his mind he compares it with his diamonds— something that can be pawned for nearly full value.

We wmay justly be proud of him, | for dentistry was . thus made ai houored pro- tession and the titie of doctor # just one._ Baclereology is not such a difficuit subject to understand. 1f yon wiil remember that bacteria are only vegeiabies and subject to like conditions f ent you will hiave gone undersianding the reason ior 1 action when grown on various ca | | ¥ grow in two ways: | Budding, division or nature’s method | from slips.

Far from i1, for if there was e a habit that cursed mankind tne driuking habit crowns them ali. I merely offer you this es a reason wuy the drunkard’s teeth and those of persons who use tobacco do mnot de- | cay. Itis now six years since Dr. Stebbins reccg- nized and demonsirated to the world thut nitrate of silver would control and prevent de- cay. Others may have known and used this, | but tney selfishly it from the people. | What if it does blacken the teeth? Black | teeth ate far betier thau no teeth. But as Dr. C. F. Allan putsit: “We want some medicine or material that has the perservative powers of the silver salts that will not discolor the teeth; thut can be used on the interior as weil as ‘the posterior teeih.” Youlask: Have we such materials? Can you tell us any reme- dies that will save people’s teeth and not dis- color them? I think I can. Tnis is why I have brought thissubject before you, 1Ifound from studying the action of nitrate of siiver that it formed with the dentine, broken-down enamel and bacteria an insoluble albumute of silver. Thatis tosay the interceliular ce- ment substar ¢2 about which I have tuked sb much had become hardened and rendered in- | 50_ubie to the digestive action of bacteria.

Surely you have sll noticed thers is not re- currence from decay around your cement fill- ings. Have you mot often wondered st the anything | councils here that meet in Natiye Sons’ bufld- _These brought up considerable discus- | sion as to whether the permanent organi- | zaiion would not affect the State dental | associations. On motion the report was | Iaid on the table till the latter part of the evening, when it was again taken np and | adcpted with the amendment that the | congress meet next year at Salt Lake City, Dr. Hecior Griswald of tnat city | having extended an Invitation to the con- gress to meet there. Two paners were read at the session— one by F. K. Ledyard of San Jose on | “Ancient Dentistry,” with lantern-slide illustrations, discussed by C. L. Goddard, Georce H. Chance, Warren de Crow, W, A. Bryant and J. M. Whitney. The other was ‘‘Replantation,” by L. A. Teague of | San Francisco. J. W. Bundborg opened | the discussion. and it was further dis- | cussed by J. M. Whitney, F. L. Platt, N. | R. Cox and R. H. Cool. Tue election of officers was by secret bailot and resulted in the choice of C. S. Geddard, San Francisco, president; Hee- tor Gri<wad, Salt Lake, vice-president; | R. W. Meek, Oakland, secretarv-zeneral, | and William a. Knowles, San Francisco, treasurer. Tue officers elected, with 8. J. | Barber of Portland, were made 1he com- | niittee of five to form the general com- mittee. Beiore adjourning a general vote of thanks was given to the State Dental Association, Siomatological Club, Uni- versity of California Dental College and tne press for the favors shown the con- | gress during its ession Arapahie Tribe of Red Men. The following-named chiefs of Arapahoe tribe of the Improved Order of Red Men haye been “‘raised up,” which is the technical term in the order for “installed,” the work being periormed by ieputy Grand Sachem H.

This tribe has issued invitations for an entertainment and ball to be given iu Sachem Hall te-night, and the committee of arrange. ments promises an enjoyable programme. Royal Arcanum The Royal Arcanum, one of the strongest of the beneflciary orders in the Uuited States, is becomiug pretty well known on the Pacific Coast and is making 1ts mark in this Oty at a very isfactory rate. There are now two ing. Tpese are Argonaut and Golden West couneils and the prospects for a council in the ity of Oakland are very flattering. Golden West Couucil, which was organized about a year ago, has, as 1t appears by the reports sent to the supreme officers, made remarkabie strides in membership.

The following address to the citizens of San Francisco has been issued by the com- mitiee: ADDRESS TO CITIZENS OF SAN FRANCISCO. It is of the utmost importance tnat San Francisco should see that this opportunity to coure n visit irom the President: hould not be allowed 1o pass because of apathy. We have received William J. Bryan and tne Christian Endeavorers, now let us say that the Presi- dent ought to come. If we work energetically we can uccomplish this.

We can afford 1o be persistent in this matter. a8 the Presiden: has already made plavs for trips in different directions, and a united effort will bring him this way. The commiitee appeals to the citizeng of 8an Francisco, irrespeciive of party -J!il- tion, to exhibit toeir patriotism by joiutug hands with it in the effort now being made 10 induce the President to come 10 this City. Twice before have we received Presidential visits, #ni though our country is jarge in geographical urea, we neverthéless feel that ench incumbent of the Presidency shouid visit us once during his term of office and be- come beiter acquainted with our people and their needs, if uny.

An Affair of 21 Years’ Stand- ing Comes Up for Final Adjustment, Street Committee of the Board of Su- pervisors Turns Down the Wooden Pavement Again. As attorney for Mr<, Emma O’Connor, J. D. Runcie appearea before tha Sireet Committe: of the Boara of Supervisors and made an offer to sell the land in the Miranda Tract necessary for the extension of Lyon and Green streets through the Presidio reservation. The figure asked was $17,000. By act of Congress passed in 1876 the Government granted fifty-five acres of land to the City, consisting of a strip two miles long, enough to extend Lyon street through the Presidio, it forming the eastern boundary of the res- ervation, the provision being that the City should open Lyon and Green streets through the Presidio. Mrs. O’Connor owns the adjoining land through which it is necessary to cut at the crossing of cer- tain streets. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee, with a recommendation that the mouey be appropriated for the pur- chase. The Williams block pavement was given the cold shoulder by the Street Commit- tee yesterday, despite the pleacing of Maior Stone ill in its behalf. Both the committee and the pavement were used to this, however, for it had been done before. Major Stonehill cailed the commilttee’s attention to the fact that the petition asking that the block pave- ment be admitted among the official specifications had been signed by a num- ber of the largest taxpayers of the City. Chairman Devany stated that a block on Twenty-second street had been paved with the wooden posts and the committee ludk taken them out without the use of a pick. Major Stonehill said this instance was not a fair test, as the blocks had not been | laid according to the specifications that the Wiiliams Company offered. The committee, however, decided to re- port as before against the pavement. D. E. Garricon appeared before the com- mittee to urge the use of expanded meral in laying street pavement foundations. He said the Harbor Commissioners had adopied it for the toors of the new ferry building and that many Eastern cities were using it in streets. Howard Holmes, engineer for the Har- bor Commissioners, made a little talk for expanded metal, saying it had withstooa the severest tests, The committee decided to inspect the material at the ferry this afternoon. Flinn & Treacy, contractors, having the work of paving Geary sirest todo, were concerned over the resolution intreduced by Rottanziat the last meeting of the board requiring all sub-street work to be finished before the pavement was laid. Mr. Treacy said he had seen the gas and water and electric companies and had been assured by them that they were en- tirely through with their work in that street and that the pavement would not be disturbed after it was laid. Chairman Devany, to whom the matter bad been reierred with power to act, ad- vised the firm that they might zo ahead with the work between Kearny and Stock- ton streets. Bidney M. Smith was present to pro- test against the paving of Beventh street, from Berry to Channel. The Soutbern | Paciic Company has a double set of tracks in‘the ‘street and some assurance should be first secured from them that they would pave between the tracks. The committee decided to lay the mat- ter over for a week anu in the meantime to inspect the street. The committee acted favorably upon the petition of the Sumset District Im- provement Compsany azainst laying any sewer until the main sewer is constructed. The commitiee will report favorably upon the matter of awarding a contract for the grading of Clinton Park. The work of laying sidewalks on Thir- teenth and Fourteenth streets was ordered stopuved for three months in resvonse to a protest of the heirs of the Woodward estate. FRATERNAL DEPARTMENT. Magnolia Lodge, A, 0. U. W., Installs Its Officers and Enturtains Its Many Frieads. Magnolia Lodge No. 41, of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, was ot behind the other lodges thit this term have given public in- stallations. Laurel Hall, in Shiels building, n which the officers were instailed last Monday night,was crowded to its holding capacity, and there were many ladies in the audience ani nota few of the sterner sex who for the first time witnessed the ceremony of installing the officers of & lodee of this order. A remarkable thing was that the only decoration of the hall was the maguolia over each station, und these magnificent fowers filled the place with their sweet pungent odor. The oflicers were installed by Deputy Grand Master A. W, Tuggie and steff, and the foilow- ing are the names of those who a:e 1o serve for the ensuing term: Past master workman, M. J.
