This standard preraration has now been before the profession for nearly twenty years and has won its way to general favor solely and entirely upon its own merits, and the demand for it is in- creasing year bv year. I find, however, that some members of the profession suppose that mer- cury is used in its manufacture, and for that reason have a prejudice against it. This suppo sition has been strengthened inadvertently by an imperfectly reported account in the “Dental Cosmos,” of the paper on Crystal Gold, read before the American Dental Convention by Dr. Ambler Tees, ot Philadelphia, at their Annual fleeting, at Long Branch, in August, I875. From “Dental Cosmos,” August, 1S76.. “Correction:--In a synopsis of an essay that I read before the American Dental Convention last August, at Long Branch, on Crystal Gold, published in the November number of the ‘Dental Cosmos’ for 1875, the impression was conveyed to the reader that mercury is used in its preparation. I stated distinctly that the article thus made was sponge gold, the result of Dr. Watt’s first experiments, but that the Crystal Gold now in the market was the product of e/er,sjis--decomposition by electricity. On invitation of the con- vention Dr. Watts explained fully his mode of manufacturing it, and stated distinctly that 110 mercury was used. Your reporter failed to give the remarks of Dr. Watts in his report of the proceedings. Respectfully Yours, AMBLER TEES, D.D.S. Therefore, for the purpose of removing this impression, I think it my duty to tell how Crystal Gold came into being, and how it is made, but as the limits to which I am confined will not ad- mit of my doing so, in extenso, I shall take great pleasure in answering any communication from members of the profession who may wish for further information. My first preparations of gold were made by using mercury or quicksilver to dissolve it—after being purified and finely divided—and in which menstruum it was crystalized by the aid of heat, the mercury being removed afterwards by the aid of nitric acid. My next preparations were made by the use of oxalic acids, saccharine matters, etc., etc., acting by heat upon properly prepared solutions of gold. Several other preparations of gold were also made by other means. All these different and largely differing preparations were called “Pre- pared Gold,” and were sold under that name. Finally, many years since, not being satisfied with any of these, I studied the action of electricity upon the salts of gold, and came to my last and best preparation. It was here, in the wonderful and complete phenomena of electrolysis, among the. multitudinous forms of gold which appear and are produced under its mysterious in- fluence tha I found in one formation, the long sought for desideratum, those beautiful and feath - ery leaves, *0 soft and light and ductile, to which has been given the name of “Crystal Gold.” I nstead of dissolving the gold in mercury, I dissolve it in acids, and placing the proper amount of the same in a suitably prepared vessel, and suspending therein plates of pure gold, I decom- pose the solution by the aid of specially arranged electric currants. As fast as the solution loses its gold by the deposition of the crystals, it is resupplied by the suspended plates, in accordance to thewefi-known laws governing electrolysis, and thus is produced, atom by atom, and in a strikingly similar manner to the growth of the foliage of a forest, a large mass of Crystal Gold, of the same texture and character throughout, and entirely free from any deleterious metallic substances—the gold and solutions being all perfectly pure—and which by subsequent treatment is wholly freed from the acid solution in which it is made. It will thus be seen that in the manufacture of the present Crystal gold no mercury is used, and hence there cannot be in the use of it any of the ill effects which might result from that metal or its alloys. Ski}“The gold is sold at $32 per ounce, but when parties order by the ounce or half ounce, I make a discount of $2 per ounce, in accordance with the usual custom of other manufacturers.

CAULK’S Diamond Point Stopping AND DIAMOND POINT PELLETS. ALSO MADE IN CYLINDERS. This form of Gutta Percha having been in the market for several years, has stood the greatest test of all—that of time. Actual tests made by competent experts, in comparison with makes of this and other countries, show the Diamond Point Stopping to be the best preparation of Gutta Percha for filling the teeth in the world. As now made it is much tougher, of finer texture, and requires no more heat to soften it. It possesses all the desirable qualities necessary for a filling material of this character, viz: Toughness, Hardness, Durability, Plasticity, Uniform- ity and Cohesiveness. REPORTS FROM DENTISTS. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 25, 1878. I like your Diamond Point Stopping better than any other Gutta Percha filling I have ever used, but would prefer it in pellets. O-W. SPALDING, D.D.S., M.D. St. Louis, Mo., Nov 12,1877. Your Diamond Point -topping makes a water-tight plug. It is the only Gutta Percha filling I know of that does not contract in hardening HENRY S. CHASE, D.D.S., M.D. St. T.ouis, July 28, 1878. I am weir pleased with the working of your Diamond Point Stopping. So far as I can see it is equal to any I have used W. H. LAMES. Philadklmi a, April 17, 1880. The last sample of Diamond point Stopping is the best I have ever had. It is, as you say, tougher at the same heat. J FOSTER FLAGG. Burlington, Iowa, May 25, 1880. I have used "your Diamond Point Stopping lor about a year, with great satisfac- tion. As a Gutta Percha filling it certainly merits all you claim for it. ri he best results can only be obtained by following strictly, your circular directions. 1. P WILSON, D.D.S.

This Cement is not an Oxy-Chloride, and differs very materially from the Phos- phate Cements, being a step in advance of them. It has been pronounced the “ King of Cements,” and is believed to come nearer ‘ ‘ the ideal filling ” than anything ever offered before to the Dental Profession. It is easily manipulated, yet hardens rapidly, and is susceptible of receiving a very highly polished enamel surface. It is useful in pivoting teeth, also as a lining for teeth with frail walls, and as a protection against thermal changes. It is non-irritating, non-conducting, compatible with tooth structure, has no shrinkage or expansion, and possesses qualities desired for protecting and capping exposed pulps. Fillings that have been standing in the mouth for a year, in comparison with other plastic material in the market, shows its superiority in every respect. We have increased the quantity fully one-third, and hereafter all bottles will be lettered with “ Caulk’s Diamond Cement.” The Cement can be made in all shades and colors. We furnish two colors and bottle of fluid with each package Price, per Package (% of an ounce) ----- $2.00 TESTIMONIALS. Danville, Va, May 26, 1880. I have tried your Diamond Cement thoroughly, using it in test cases; where under the same circumstances other white fillings, which 1 have used, would have been ab- solute failures. The contour fillings which I have made are only a lew months old, but, so tar, nave surpassed my most sanguihe expectations. Your Cement is abso- lutely non-irritant, and perfectly protects the exposed or sensitive nerve from the effects of heat or cold. It hardens so completely in three or four minutes, that after capping the sensitive portion of the cavity, the" tooth may be safely filled with either gold or amalgam. . . I have made only a few fillings of your Par-Excellence Alloy, but like its behavior very much. ' THOS. L. SYDNOlt, D.D.S. Milwaukee, June 17, 1880. Caulk’s Diamond Cement far surpasses anything of the kind I have ever seen or tried. It is extremely tough, easily manipulated, hardens quickly, and receives a wonderfully high finish; in fact, it is nearer ihe “ Ideal Filling ” than any yet discov- ered. WAI.TEK F. LEWIS. CAULK’S PAR-EXCELLENCE ALLOY. This ALLOY is Manufactured on a New Principle. It is based upon strictly scientific principles. Great care is exercised in its manipulation. It saves Teeth where others fail. It possesses peculiar properties unknown to other Amalgams. It has stood a great number of severe tests, both in the mouth and out of it. It is the result of a long series of experiments, and has been in constant use for several years. It contains the essential elements for a good color, edge, strength, etc., and can be relied upon as a trustworthy filling material. By this method of manufacture there is WO GVENN WORK, the molecular change is controlled, making each and every ingot, always and absolutely, alike in its properties. A prominent Southern Dentist reports, • ‘That I have never used a plastic material for filling teeth that I was more pleased with than 1 am with Caulk’s Pau-Excel- lbnce Alloy. It works so well and seems to adapt itself so perfectly to the walls of the cavity, is so cleanly, and is capable of such an exquisitely tine finish, at one sitting, too, that I am satisfied it will do to rely on as a durable filling material.” Price (half-ounce package*) - $3.00 per ounce. #S-Sent free on receipt of price.

Among its numerous advantages, special attention is called to the fol- lowing: No drying of plaster moulds before using; plaster investments and casts are made very hard and do not break ; plates are perfectly moulded in from 25 to 35 minutes. It can be heated over any fire, the base retaining an even and powerful heat, yet the plates will not burn, if ordinary care is observed. The celluloid will be one-third harder, and for this reason will retain color and shape; it will not flake when filed; and will receive a high finish. The celluloid plate is made soft, like putty, and is moulded into shape before it has time to become sluggish. Our press being of proper weight, settles blank when soft and indicates the proper degree of heat to close clamp with wrench. From among numerous testimonials of the excellency of this apparatus the following are taken: Valley Falls, Kan., Jan. 7,1881. Dr. L. D. Dobbins $ Co., Camden, N. J.: Gentlemen.—Your conical base works nicely. I can make a better plate with it than any celluloid apparatus I have yet tiied. 1 have never burned or spoiled a plate. In fact, I don’t know how a celluloid apparatus could work better. Respectfully, C. H. GILLMAN, D.D.S. Susquehanna, Pa.. Jan. 15,1881. Dr. Dobbins: Dear Sir.—The more I use your celluloid machine the better 1 like it. ft produces a quality of work greatly superior to any that I have hereto- fore seen. It is tough and of fine texture, and I think very nearly one- third harder. Yours truly, , ' E. M. MAXSON. Paoli, Ind., Nov. 2S, 1880. Dr. L. D. Dobbins Co.: Gents.—Now that 1 have tried your conical base and find it to be all you claim for it, I can cheerfully add my testimonial to those who have preceded me. and say that it works like a charm.

After having successfully established a reputation for our new German Cement, owing to its superior merits over other plastic cements in the market (a fact which is j undisputed and is proven by testimonials from gentlemen of the highest standing in the profession), the import- ance of an article possessing still higher qualities entered our mind, and now after years of unceasing experi- mmts and tests, success lias crowned our etforts in pro- ducing an article, strictly our own manufacture, which we know to be superior to all other cements now in use, and therefore name it: H. D. JUSTI’S "ACME” CEMENT. a It is manufactured under our personal supervision, and we can guarantee its uniformity in quality, and its durability. It is free from all substances that produce but a temporary hardening, readi'y destroyed by the secretions of the mouth. It combines all the cardinal properties a cement should possess, does its work uner- ringly, and is complete and lasting. We also claim originality for our bottles, the stopper formed in the shape of a, bowl (as illustrated in cut) is intended for the manipulation of the cement, and for carrying the same to the mouth. This is very convenient for the operator, and saves the expense of the finger tray now used for that purpose. To avoid impositions which have often been practiced with our new German, cement, wTecall the attention of purchasers to our name and trade mark on every* bottle. We furnish two colors: No. 1. soft medium yellow; No. 2, a soft medium gray. These the most particular operator will find suflicient for the various cases presenting themselves. i’rice, One Ounce Bottles, - - - - - - - $.‘l 00 “ Half Ounce Bottles, - - - - - --150 “ Set of both Colors, K oz. each, with 1 oz.
