History of Dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio

The writer has done considerable excavating in his time, and excavating dentistry from the newspapers and directories, from the first issue to the present time, has occupied all his odd hours for six years, but if it meets the approbation of the profession, he will feel amply rewarded. He has endeavored to bring about the articulation of past dentistry in Cleveland, with the present, believing that when empires have fallen and granite monuments crumbled, history will still exist.

Many of the old times and things in dentistry savor now of romance, and as we look down the line of the past, a mellow enchantment is cast over them.

The dental pioneers who practiced here labored under many disadvantages, but they blazed the way for the glorious oncoming of a great and numerous profession.

The history of dentistry will lead the public to appreciate the importance of the science and art, and it puts dentistry on a higher plane than before; it is an up-lift that lifts-up.

This volume does not contain every possible thing that could be found, but there is enough to show the trend of dentistry since its first introduction here.
