Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southern Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences, 1853, Vol. 1 The science of Chemistry eminently deserves the attention Of the dentist. In view of the advantages which might naturally have been expected to flow from its cultivation, no branch of medicine has been more generally underrated, on the part of the profession, than this. Until recently, it had not a place even in the institutions proposing to teach a thorough collegiate system Of dental science Yet chemistry is one of the fundamental bases Of all medicine it lies at the very foundation of every specialty, and Of none more strictly SO than Of this. The claims Of chemistry upon the dental surgeon, present them selves in two points Of view first, as a means Of acquiring a correct knowledge Of the principles Of his science, and secondly, as a guide in the practical application of those principles.
