OpposiiloPuelicLibrary AMY ferneriers, CANADA'S ARMY DENTAL CORPS Its Splendid Work In Mending The Ravages Of War Among The Wounded "To Canada is due the development of army dentistry ; and indeed all the other allied nations have followed her lead in this direction." --Sir Ed- ward Kemp. If eminent independent opinion is needed to confirm that of Canada's Overseas Minister of Militia, we have it from the president of the British Dental Association, who said at the Mansion House: "The Canadian Army is the only army in the whole world that attempts to send its soldiers to the front dentally fit"; while, in his inaugural address as president of the Association, Dr, W. H. Dolamare also said: it is diffi- cult to criticize the arrangements in our own army, but one feels that it might be possible and desirable to follow the example which the 'Can- adians has set." Col. J, A, Armstrong, C. M. G„ of Ottawa, the Director of the Dental Service of the Overseas Forces, canoe over in June, 1915, with a staff of 30 officers, which to -day numbers nearly 200. The Deputy -Director is Lt. -Col. 0, K. Gibspn, of Ottawa, the headquarters being at Pembroke louse 133 Oxford street,London, 1 W. The Assistant Depuy-Directors' are Lt. -Col. A. A. Smith, of Corn- wall, Ont. (London area) • Lt, Col. J. W. Bentley, of Sarnia (Shorncliffe =area) ; Lt. -Col. J. E. Holmes, of Saskatoon, formerly of Clinton, (Bramshott area) ; Lt. Col, Claud Brown, of London, Ont, (Witley area). 'Col. Amrstrong attributes much of the success of the Canadian Dental Corps to the fact that, unlike the British, it is an independent organiza- tion, though, of course, intimately associated with the Canadian Army Medical Service, Its requisitions go Affect to the Government; the selec- tion and promotion of its members xest with the Director. Consequent- ly friction, overlapping and delays are iavoided. We are a long way from the days when to the average pian a dentist meant a mere drawer of teeth and dental treatment was a job for the medical man or even for the chem- ist's assistant. This war, however, is raising the status of the surgeon dentist to a ' far higher level. Take trench mouth, for instance (infectus stomatitis) which has been proved to be so infectious that isolation and special • treatment is essential, • It is in connection with jaw in- juries, however, that the sergeon dentist is proving himsea the great- est benefactor. A visit to the Ontario Military Hospital at Orpington, Kent, where some 2,000 patients are acCom- to madnted, is a revelation as to the part dental science is playing. Here, thanks to the recommendation of Lt. - Col. Richard Reid, the Agent -General of the Province in London, who, since the formation of that hospital, has taken a particular interest in this sphere of its work, the Ontario Go -r ernment has spared no expense to make Ole equipment of this special department unrivalled. At Orpington, LL -Col, G, G. Hume, of Toronto has been installed since April 1916, with a staff which, at the time of the writer's visit, included Capt. W. G. Trelford of Toronto, and Copts. Oliver Leslie, G, 0, Findley, A, E, Weird H. A, Stewart (Kingston, A. 11. L. Campbell, and' E.. 11. Crawford. To those who have been accustomed to reeard the work of the army sur- geon dentist as of very minor im- portance or interest compared to that at the physician or the surgeon in field or hospital, a visit to the ela- borate dental clinic at Orpington is a revelation, Here you have the oppor- tunity of hearing from their own lips the stories of men w110 had suffered s1}ch grievous, even hideous, jaw in- ' juries that in the olden days their cases would have been either hopeless, or if life was saved, they would have suf- The Carload of Canada Cement has arrived at our ware- house.

Among the numerous case records which the writer hadthe opportunity of inspect- ing at Orpington were, in several in- stances, photographs of officer's and men taken upon their arrival from the clearing and base hospitals at Ole front which gave and only too' faithful re- cord of the distressing sight such dis torted features would then have beento relatives and friends; indeed, one almost gave a gasp of surprised re- lief when, thanks to 'Col, Hume, one was allowed to have ocular demon- stration of the marvellous work of healing and reconstruction which has been performed upon faces so terribly marred and to hear from the lips of more than one individual case the re- mark "that photograph shows what 1 was; see what l look like to -day, thanks to these clever amen." Only when one was permitted to study the detailed records of such cases, to inspect the various plaster casts, made as the cures progressed, to handle some of the de- licate implements employed, to look into mouths in which all sorts of in- genious mechanisms were installed, performing with absolute ease and comfort the masticating functions of outraged nature, was it possible to realize the value of array dental sur- gical work as practised to -day. When it is remembered that, in some of these cases, for weeks before any really effective remedial artificial steps could be taken, the upper and flower jaws had to be scientifically fixed and held together in an unalter- able rigid position—night and day— while nature took the 1st steps S while during that peroid all food had to be artificially administered, it need not be wondered at that a mere record of the total number of operation per- fonned forms very inadequate testi- mony to the time spent by the surgeon on individual cases, to his ingenuity in surmounting difficulty after diffi- culty, to his personal pride in achiev- ing final success The work of the amputating surgeon is generally mere play to that of the man who has to reconstruct the inside of a mans mouth and restore that necesssary movement of speech as well as of the powers of ( mastication, Of course, it is only the scientific expert who can thoroughly appreciate the nature of the work done and the ingenuity with which the difficulties in individual cases have been overcome but even a casual visitor to the mag- nificent Ontario Military Hospital' at Orpington conies away inpressed with the fact that in its dental departments he has seen unique evidences- of the way in which science is being employ- ed to ameliorate suffering and disfig- urement, The enthusiastic interest which Col. iiuu7e and his professional staff evince in their work is shared by their little band of mechanical as- sistants, who have the rank of N. C. O.'s. The one crying need at the time of the writer's visit was a test - dent expert photographer. 1f this cool weather cpntlnues, ;fly "swatting" will become one of the lost industries.
