This being the first Number of a New Volume of The Dental Cosmos, and as 
such sent as a Specimen Copy to a large number of non-subscribers, we have 
thought proper, in presenting a Cut of our Manufactory and Depot, to accompany 
it with a description of the building, taken from a leading daily paper of this city, 
published about the time of its completiou, a year ago. Of the sales-room we will 
say that, in extent, in completeness of stock, in the thoroughness with which the 
goods have been classified, and the system by which they are exhibited, for the 
comfort and convenience of purchasers, and the prompt satisfaction of inquiries, it 
far surpasses anything ever attempted before in our line of business. 
The vast variety of forms now in use of Pluggers, Excavators, Burs, etc. can be 
examined in a much shorter time than has ever been possible by any previous 
arrangement, and this is true of every department of the stock; so that a visitor 
having but an hour or two at his command is enabled to see all that is in use by 
the profession, and to examine and select a stock which formerly would have re- 
quired days to accomplish. Visitors from distant points have borne hearty testi- 
mony to the satisfaction which they have experienced in the purchase of instru- 
ments and materials by reason of these arrangements, declaring their willingness 
to incur the expense and loss of time in travel for the sake of the advantages thus 
offered them. We invite all members of the profession to call and examine the 
stock, whether desiring to purchase or not, as it is always a pleasure to show 
superior goods to those who can recognize excellence. 
“ S. S. WHITE’S NEW BUILDING. 
“The assertion may sound somewhat extravagant, but it is nevertheless an un- 
deniable fact, that the structure recently erected at the corner of Chestnut and 
Twelfth Streets by our esteemed friend, Dr. White, is one of the finest buildings 
of its kind in the world. “ The necessity for larger accommodations, both for manufacturing purposes and 
sales-rooms, made the removal from the buildings previously occupied on Arch 
Street imperative, and has been the means of adding to the attractions of the city 
one of its noblest edifices. He may feel just pride that, while confessedly leading 
the world in his own department of manufactures, he has devised and completed a 
building which, while it combines all the conveniences necessary for his immense 
trade, is also a monument to his business energy and unblemished reputation, and 
an object of admiration to every beholder. 
“Approaching this vast structure, one is forcibly struck with its immense size, 
massive appearance, and the noble style of its architecture; a front of 44 feet on 
Chestnut Street, of pure white marble, a depth of 235 feet on Twelfth Street, and 
a height—90 feet to the cornice—overtopping the surrounding buildings, irresist- 
ibly arrest the attention of every passer. 
“The first floor has been leased for a term of years to the enterprising firm of 
Bailey & Co., jewelers, and has been fitted up by them in a style of surpassing 
magnificence. 
“The basement is vaulted out beneath the pavement on the front, side, and 
rear, and contains the boilers, engine, furnaces, mills, forges, and a series of 
immense bins for storing materials, crude and prepared, and work-rooms for cer- 
tain classes of work. 
“The second floor is the dental sales-room, and contains the counting-room, pri- 
vate offices, and the publication office of the Dental Cosmos. It is handsomely 
fitted up, and provided with every convenience for the display of an immense stock 
of dental materials, and the dispatch of business. A wonderful variety and extent 
of stock, of every conceivable article used by the dentist, from the smallest hand 
implement to the costliest plush-lined chair, are here exhibited. No trouble or 
expense seems to have been spared to arrange for the comfort and convenience of 
purchasers. A series of wall-cases, approachable on three sides, display at a glance 
their varied contents, while on either side of the grand centre aisle a series of novel 
hexagonal cases, with slanting glass lids, balanced by weights, to hold them in any 
required position, give opportunity to spread out the more delicate implements, 
which are so arranged that they can be critically examined with great rapidity. 
The sales-room is approached from the Chestnut Street front by a beautiful flight 
of white marble stairs. “The entrance of the third, fourth, and fifth stories is by two stairways on 
Sansora Street, one for the male and the other for the female operatives. 
“ The third floor is divided into four rooms, and is devoted to the various pro- 
cesses of tooth-making. The fourth floor is used exclusively for the manufacture 
of dental instruments and appliances. The fifth floor is appropriated to preparing 
and putting up the various preparations for office and laboratory use, and for 
packing and storage. 
“Throughout the entire building every attention has been paid to the comfort of 
the operatives, the apartments being admirably ventilated and lighted, and warmed 
throughout by steam. 
“ On the Sansom-street front is a lift operated by steam, extending from the 
fifth story to the basement, at all times in readiness to convey goods from one story 
to another, receive raw materials, and discharge the finished products of the 
establishment. In addition, at convenient places, three dumb-waiters convey 
light packages from the manufacturing departments to the sales-room. 
“Communication is made from the sales-room and offices to the various apartments 
by means of speaking tubes, which traverse the building throughout. The whole 
building is fire proof; the walls are of immense thickness, and each floor is sup- 
ported by compound wrought-iron beams, that span the entire width of the build- 
ing—with no columns to interrupt the view—and are calculated to upbear 155 
pounds to the square foot. They are connected by tie-rods throughout the entire 
length of the building, spanned by brick arches, which are filled to the crown 
with concrete and mortar, over which are laid floors of Southern, or true yellow 
pine. The cornice is of galvanized iron, with iron supports, and, therefore, like 
the rest of the building, fire proof; the roof of iron framework, covered with tin. 
“ The cost of the entire structure was about $460,000. 
“This magnificent establishment gives constant and remunerative employment to 
between two and three hundred people, and supplies a very large proportion of 
the dental material consumed in the world. 
“Besides these warerooms, Dr. White has depots for the sale of his manufactures 
in New York, Boston, and Chicago, and supplies dealers in most of the principal 
cities of this and other countries, carrying the name of Philadelphia enterprise 
throughout the habitable globe.” ARTIFICIAL TEETH. 
THE RECEMT PREMIUMS. 
At the late Fair of the Maryland Institute, 
A GOLD MEDAL 
WAS AWARDED TO US FOR 
THE BEST AETIPICIAL TEET ZET 
And at the Pair of the American Institute, New York, 
THE FIRST PREMIUM 
FOR IMPROVEMENT IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH* 
These Premiums were awarded for Improvements over all Teeth previously 
made, either by ourselves or others, and not merely for superiority over those with 
which they were in competition at the fairs. 
The especial attention of the profession is requested to these Improvements, 
which were recognized by very able Committees as obviating the greatest remaining 
defects in Artificial Teeth for Rubber Work. 
In our appeal before these Institutes, which are well known to be the highest 
tribunals of mechanical, manufacturing, and inventive progress in our country, we 
based our claim for the award which we won, as we now confidently do for recog- 
nition by a talented and appreciative profession, on the following distinct improve- 
ments, viz.: 
A new and peculiar form of the internal portion of the pin, securing greater 
strength with less liability to loosen. (See Cuts.) 
In this “foot-shaped” pin it will be seen that the wire is “upset,” so that the 
thickest part of the pin is at the heel or angle; the point or toe running upward 
into the thick part of the tooth, giving additional security against its being drawn 
out. 
And secondly, the insertion of the pin at an upward angle so as to make it bed 
in the strongest portion of the tooth material, by which we avoid weakening the 
thin portion of the tooth—as is done when the headed pin is inserted in a straight 
line—and retain the greatest amount of material where the greatest strain is 
brought to bear upon it in biting and masticating. Also, as the force exerted is outward and downward toward the necks of the teeth, the shape and direction 
of the pin is thus made directly to oppose it. (See Cuts.) 
Of this Improvement the Committee of the American Institute say: 
“In regard to the shape and insertion of the pin in the body of the teeth now 
manufactured by S. S. White, the improvement is manifestly great over those of 
any other manufacturer known to us.” 
This form of pin has been in use more t han a year. 
We thus distinctly and emphatically describe this Improvement, claiming origi- 
nality, novelty, and marked superiority, because of our experience in the past. Un- 
scrupulous appropriation of all improvements and inventions, whether patented or 
not, has been the policy pursued by some engaged in the manufacture of artificial 
teeth, while persistent misrepresentation of facts has been practiced by them as a 
legitimate mode of effecting sales. 
In this way our patented improvement of the double-headed pin, which was 
recognized as very valuable in connecting artificial teeth to rubber, was pirated 
and evaded. Not only this, but a pin made and used by us for a short time, in 
which the evil of the old style of head inserted in sectional blocks was sought to be 
corrected, by flattening the inner end, and which sometimes broke at the part where 
the flat joined the round, was exhibited by these parties as proof that we were 
making teeth with pins which had no head at all, when they knew that the head 
was left imbedded in the tooth, and held so firmly as to break the pin. This and 
other forms of pins tested from time to time have, after long and varied experi- 
ments, developed the foot-shaped pin, which, in connection with the angle of in- 
sertion, we confidently claim is the nearest approach to mechanical perfection and 
adaptation of means to ends that has been discovered in this direction. 
These Cuts represent sections of teeth in our possession bought fairly of other 
makers, and ground down to the middle of the pin. Comparison of these with the 
Cuts of ours, renders comment unnecessary, either as to the shape and usefulness 
of the pin, or the quantity of platinum used. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. DENTAL INSTRUMENTS. 
AT THE PAIR OP THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE, NEW YORK 
(EXHIBITION OCTOBER, 1869), 
TZHIIE FIRST PREMIIUM 
WAS AWARDED TO US FOR 
SUPERIOR DENTAL INSTRUMENTS. 
AT THE FAIR OF THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE, BALTIMORE 
(Exhibition November, 1869), 
A GOLD MEDAL 
WAS AWARDED TO US FOR 
EXCELLENCE OF DENTAL INSTRUMENTS. 
Extract from Report of the Committee on Instruments of the 
American Institute. 
“We have carefully examined the Dental Instruments exhibited by S. S. White, 
and find them of superior finish and excellent temper. We would particularly 
mention the perfection with which the burs and the serrations on the points of the 
filling instruments are cut: the shapes of the various kinds of filling instruments 
are admirable. In accordance with the wish expressed by the Board of Managers, 
we were very particular in testing the temper of these instruments, to ascertain 
if this important point has been attended to with the same care and skill as were 
evident in the other parts of their construction, and we found that in this particular 
their manufacture had been as carefully conducted as in the other parts, and that 
the instruments had the varieties of temper best suited to the purposes for which 
they were constructed. And we pronounce them to be the best we have ever seen 
produced by any manufacturer of Dental Instruments.” 
All of the Dental Instruments and Machinery exhibited at the Fair of the American 
Institute, New York, October, 1869, and also all those exhibited at the Fair of the 
Maryland Institute, Baltimore, November, 1869, which obtained the First Premium 
and Gold Medal respectively, were selected out of the regular stock on hand and 
for sale. Not a single article was made especially for exhibition, but they were 
all in every point of make and finish a part of the same supply of goods bearing 
the Trade-marks rom we fill orders to customers. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. OUR DENTAL INSTRUMENTS AND MACHINERY, 
AND THE 
TRADE-MARKS WHICH THEY BEAR. 
The Trade-marks and stamped or placed upon any instrument or 
■machine indicate that the article is made for Samuel S. White by Henry Coy. 
Presenting herewith testimony that justifies the claim that they are the best make 
in the world, it is proper to state how this result has been attained. 
Formerly, the machinery and appliances in use by the dental profession were of 
inferior quality,—unsuited for the purposes for which they were designed. Re- 
cognizing these defects, and ambitious to offer articles of a superior quality 
to those desiring such, and having knowledge of the ability of Mr. Henry 
Coy, an arrangement was made with him for their manufacture. He began on 
machinery only. Taking up, one by one, the articles in current demand, such as 
Grinding Machines, Lathe Heads, Foot Powers, and Brackets, the excellence of 
form and make was attained now well known to the profession and to the trade. 
About two years ago, the instruments which were made in the manufactory estab- 
lished by us not coming up to the standard of excellence thought desirable, he, at 
our request, assumed its care and development. This department of our business 
has demanded a large investment. The fourth floor of our new building has been 
fitted up with every accessory of tools and machinery for the production of the 
highest style of work. Mr. Coy is the responsible manufacturer of all those 
goods which bear his trade-mark §@(d and receives a percentage on their cost. 
His interest lies wholly in the growth and maintenance of the trade; and only such 
a trade as ours, steadily developed, would remunerate him for the time, care, and 
unwearied attention which the manufacture of so large and varied a line of articles 
demands, when it is required that every one of them shall be the very best in 
material, in form, in every detail of work and finish. 
By this arrangement with one so thoroughly capable and determined to excel, 
results have been attained which we could not have hoped to reach in any other 
way. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. Resolution of the New Orleans Dental Association. 
At the regular monthly meeting of the N. 0. Dental Association, held June 3d, 
1869, the following resolution was unanimously adopted; 
“Resolved, That having examined and tested the improved Dental Instruments 
(viz.: Pluggers, Excavators, Burs, Chisels and steel goods generally) manufac- 
tured and now being offered to the Profession by S. S. White, of Philadelphia, we 
find them beautiful in style and finish, excellent in quality and adaptability, and 
altogether superior to any instruments that have ever been offered to the Dental 
Profession. 
“ We are happy to congratulate the Profession on their having such excellent aid 
in the execution of their varied duties from the enterprise and liberality of S. S. 
White, who has displayed such great en rgy in developing resources for the advance- 
ment of Dental Science.” 
The above is a true copy from the Minutes of the meeting. 
(Signed) JOHN G. ANGELL, D.D.S., 
Secretary of N. 0. Dental Association. 
Resolution of the Tennessee State Dental Association. 
At a meeting of the Tennessee State Dental Association, held in the City of 
Nashville, 22d July, 1869, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: 
Whereas, The members of this Association have seen with much satisfaction the 
recent great improvement in the manufacture of Dental Instruments by Dr. S. S. 
White, of Philadelphia, and having felt the need of improved steel goods in the prac- 
tice of Dentistry, and feeling that every difficulty is now removed or overcome 
through the efforts of Dr. White, and that nothing better in style or quality of 
Dental Instruments, from the smallest sized excavator to the largest instrument 
requisite in dental practice, can be desired; therefore be it 
Resolved, That the members of this Association express their high appreciation 
of the improved quality of instruments, and their indebtedness to Dr. White as a 
manufacturer and dealer, and for his past and present generous efforts in behalf 
of the interest of the Dental Profession, and also most heartily recommend the Pro- 
fession to avail themselves of these benefits. 
(Signed) M. McCARTY, 
Secretary. 
Dr. S. S. White : 
In reply to the question, “What I think ought to be said of the quality of the in- 
struments offered to dentists by you during the past year ?” I reply : 
From a personal inspection of the admirable system of producing the instru- 
ments, I would confidently expect that for strength, temper, finish, and all desirable 
qualities of utility and ornament, they would excel. And this has been fully con- 
firmed by severe and almost daily tests to which they have been put in a practice 
difficult and trying. I have ever endeavored to obtain the best, not the lowest 
priced instruments, with which to perform my dental operations, and after having 
many makers work for me under personal inspection, I have never been so well 
served in any case as with the instruments you have furnished me during the last 
year. 
W. H ATKINSON, M.D., 
New York. New York, Dec. 11, 1869. 
S. S. White : 
My dear Sir,—It gives me great pleasure to state that your effort to represent 
my ideas accurately in the manufacture of the Pluggers which I have adopted and 
recommended to the profession, is a complete success. The exact shapes desired 
have been faithfully preserved, the serrations are just what I want, and in every 
respect they conform to my conception of what a set of Pluggers should be, and 
that is more than I can say for any others that I have seen. 
R. W. VARNEY. 
Brooklyn, Dec. 1869. 
Dr. S. S. White : 
My dear Sir,—I wish to express to you mj admiration for the filling instruments 
which I have examined, made from the patterns of Dr. Varney, of New York. In 
point of workmanship they excel anything I have ever seen in the department of 
operating instruments for dentists. It is highly gratifying to me, as it will be to 
all lovers of our profession, to see such perfection in these instruments; and it is a 
matter worthy of notice by us as dentists, that our demands are being met by the 
production of first-class instruments, thereby enabling us to come nearer the point 
of perfection in our operations. I consider the price you have put on them is only 
in keeping with the quality. I believe you desire, as all high-minded men in our 
oalling do, to produce, for a first-class price, a first-class article. 
Quantity is not what we aim for; it is quality. Men of progress will all recognize 
this. 
With great respect, 
I am yours, most sincerely, 
GEO. A. MILLS, 
104 Hicks St. 
Dr. S. S. White : 
I cannot forego the pleasure of expressing to you the great satisfaction I have 
experienced in the use of that last lot of Excavators and Pluggers I procured of 
you some time ago. 
The form, temper, and beauty of finish of the Dental Instruments at present 
manufactured at your establishment, 1 consider in many respects decidedly in ad- 
vance of those of any other maker whose instruments I have used and tested 
during my long term of practice. 
It has been my conviction for a long time that instruments, such as you are now 
furnishing, can only be made from the finest quality of steel in the hands of the most 
careful and experienced workmen. 
Your enterprise and marked success in this department, as well as others, cannot 
fail to receive the liberal patronage and sincere thanks of our profession. 
C. A. KINGSBURY.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31st, 1869. 
Sib,—You may state to the profession that, after one year’s trial of your manu- 
facture of Excavators and Pluggers, I have been so much pleased, that I do not 
use any others. Very respectfully, etc., 
THOMAS C. STELLWAGEN. 
To Samuel S. White, D.D.S., 
Cor. 12th and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia. Dr. S. S. White 
The quality of the steel, the temper and shape of the instruments obtained from 
you during the past two years have given me so much satisfaction, that I take great 
pleasure in recommending them to the profession, satisfied that it will be your aim 
to maintain their reputation in the future by supplying others equally as good. 
Truly yours, 
J. H. McQUILLEN. 
Dr. S. S. White: 
Dear Sir,—In answer to your inquiry in regard to your instruments, it is with 
pleasure I respond. They possess characteristics that justly entitle them to be 
considered superior to any now manufactured. In finish, they are, in my judgment, 
unrivaled, and in other important features will bear a critical examination. 
The true test of an instrument is the daily strain it is put to, and in this, those 
of your manufacture have been satisfactory to me. 
The great variety of useful forms, embodying the ideas of careful and well- 
known operators, constitute a feature worthy of notice, as it brings the artificer 
and operator in a nearer and more harmonious relation than was the case in former 
years, while at the same time it lightens labor by the multiplication of the most 
useful forms. 
The classification of this most difficult and complicated branch of dental manu- 
facture is worthy of the highest commendation, simplifying, as it does, the whole 
subject to the comprehension of the most unpracticed. 
Respectfully yours, etc., 
JAMES TRUMAN, D.D.S. 
Philadelphia, Jan. 1, 1870. 
Samuel S. White : 
Dear Sir,—I am using, with entire satisfaction, the last Plugging Instruments 
purchased of you. In shape, temper, and beauty of finish, I have yet to see their 
equal. 
I have noted with peculiar pleasure the great improvements which have lately 
been made in the manufacture of dental instruments, and to you belongs the 
acknowledged appreciation of the dental profession. 
Truly yours, 
EDWIN T. DARBY, D.D.S.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31, 1869. 
S. S. White: 
Dear Sir,—I testify with pleasure to the great excellence of your Dental Instru- 
ments. 
In nice adaptation of form, fine finish, and evenness of temper, they are not ex- 
celled by any instruments I have ever used.

SOCKET PLUGGERS. 
(See “ Socket Instruments.”) 
We desire to call the attention of all Dentists to the strict regularity with 
which our Pluggers are made, in shape and size. The same number 
of any set will always be found a true reproduction. In regularity 
and perfection of the serrations, also, we know that ours are un- 
rivaled. If a Plugger is serrated more deeply on one side than the 
other, it penetrates the gold unevenly. The same bad effect will 
result if the tips of some of the serrations are larger than those 
adjacent. With Pluggers of defective serration, no one can weld 
adhesive gold uniformly throughout. We request that our Pluggers 
be examined with a magnifying glass, and compared with the con- 
stantly imperfect ones of other makers on these points. See, also, how cleanly cut the valleys are, and how smooth and finished, yet 
Bharp, are the edges of the teeth, never tearing or dragging the gold. 
The Hand-pressure Pluggers named above are also, many of them, kept

In the beginning of our Forceps manufacture, Mr. Coy desires to say that 
he committed two errors: 1st, in using a make of steel which was 
rejected for discovered faults in small instruments; 2d, in putting 
them out just hard enough to keep their edges without bending. Our 
regular steel is made to order from selected stock. It takes consider- 
able time to get it out. We were over the steel trouble in a few 
months. Experience has proved that if Forceps can be broken, they 
will be broken—by which we mean that for general sale they must 
be made of a temper at which they will rather bend than break. All 
the Forceps of every maker which have come to us for repairs show 
bent edges and tips, and smoothed serrations. 
Our Nos. 19, 13, 11, 9, and a few of 1, 2, and 3, were those in which most 
of the flawy steel and too high temper were issued. Many of these 
have been exchanged, and we request any customer who has suffered 
on such to claim an exchange. All our forceps, since discovering 
these faults, are tested, before polishing, far beyond the force which 
can properly be applied in use on the teeth which each is designed 
to extract. Any forceps with a visible flaw, or if repointed, are 
stamped 2D on the inside of handle, and such are sold at $2. If the 
usefulness is impaired, they are stamped 3D, and sold for $1. Buyer’s 
risk on both.

SAMUEL S. WHITE. A PLAIN LINE OF BURS, DRILLS, AND EXCAVATORS. 
We have been compelled to advance the price somewhat on our Burs, Drills, and 
Excavators. Made, shaped, polished, and bronzed, as our first-class instruments 
are, it is impossible to furnish them at the price which other manufacturers charge 
for inferior instruments. Ours not only cost more, but are abundantly worth the 
difference charged, to any operator who appreciates elegance of form and high 
finish in his instruments. Other manufacturers admit that, merely to polish their 
instruments as ours are, would necessitate an increase of price or loss of all profit. 
The fine bronzing we put on will, even when worn almost off, so as hardly to show, 
prevent the steel handles from soiling the fingers of the operator. High polish has 
great value on instruments exposed to saliva, blood, and the secretions of the skin, 
which are easily removed from them, but cost great trouble to clean from rough 
instruments. 
To satisfy a demand, however, and demonstrate our ability and willingness to 
furnish our customers with articles as good for the money as any other manufacturer 
can, we have decided to make a Plain Line of the instruments named. They will 
be of the same external form and finish, and the variety as full as the regular stock

to our first-class instruments. 
The Trade-marks will stand thus the line between the two 
occupying the place of a number on the first quality instruments. 
These will be put on sale at once at all our Depots. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. 
OUR PATENTS. 
We have stated in the chapter on “ Artificial Teeth,” in this number, “ that 
unscrupulous appropriation of all improvements and inventions, whether patented 
or not, has been the policy pursued by some in the trade.” 
While neither space nor the patience of the reader would permit a rehearsal of 
one-half of the instances which might be cited to sustain the assertion, it is due 
to ourselves, to the trade, and to the profession—many of whom may be ignorant of 
the facts—to specify three patents which in our judgment are constantly infringed 
and evaded by manufacturers and dealers. 
“ The manufacture of Mineral Teeth with pine having heads at their outer ends” 
is the claim of a patent granted to me Jan. 21, 1862. 
The Tool-rack made and sold with the Snow & Lewis and the Salmon Automatic 
Pluggers, we consider to be infringements of Dr. Foote’s patent, bought and owned 
by me. So also are the tools or points—they being the important combination part 
claimed in the patent. Substituting a hole and pin to perforin the same office as 
the Slot and Notch, is plainly a mere mechanical equivalent, and as liable as a direct 
copy. 
Dr. Gates’ Drills are patented by him, and I am the sole and exclusive licensee 
under the patent, and pay a royalty per dozen for the right to manufacture them. 
Any Gates Drills or Bur Drills made, sold, or used by others, which are not our 
make, infringe this right, and rob the patentee. 
The recognition of our lawful claims in these matters would not raise the price 
of the goods or in any way affect the dentist; it would only restrain others from 
using what they have neither invented nor paid for, do not own, and have no right 
(moral or legal) to make or sell. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. Trade-marks at the head of a page or an advertise- 
ment signify that the articles are our make. 
PLUG TRIMMERS AND PLUG FINISHING FILES.

SET OF EXCAVATORS, 
These cuts represent twenty-five of the most approved points. 
Nos. 1 to 3 are ordinary hatchet shape. Nos. 4 to 12 are hoes for scraping or 
draw cutting, which gives less pain than the direct or push-cut, and is equally 
expeditious. Nos. 13 and 14 are chisel form. No. 15 hatchet, and No. 16 hoe, for 
posterior surfaces in molar teeth. Nos. 17, 20, and 21, enamel chisels. Nos. 18 
and 19, for trimming between the teeth. Nos. 22 to 24 are useful in opening crown 
eavities and rounding the angles of sulci in lower molars. No. 25 is a new form 
of burnisher for approximal surfaces. 
These instruments, being extremely hard, will cut with less than the usual 
(pressure. Care, however, should be used, in sharpening, not to diminish the angle 
of the edge, or it will be liable to chip. 
They are of the very best quality, and warranted in every particular; made of 
Ts6 inch octagon cast steel, 6 inches iu length, bronzed handles.

EXTENSION BRACKET 
NEW DESIGN. 
The Engraving represents the “S. S. White” Cast-iron Extension Bracket, with 
three Joints or Arms, measuring 16 inches each in length. 
The Tray is made of Brass, 12| inches in diameter, with a stationary Rim. 
These Brackets are designed to be attached to the wall or woodwork of the ope- 
rating-room. 
The patterns of this Bracket have been carefully revised and partly renewed, 
and are now strong and free from defects. 
It is light, neat, and convenient, and its three flexions, with its great extension, 
make it easy to place it just where desired in operating. 
The Joints are made with Coned Steel Pins, and Nuts to draw them down as 
they wear. 
They are painted Dark Brown, relieved with Bronze.

SAMUEL S. WHITE. SS s. S. WHITE EXTENSION BRACKETS, sm 
This Bracket was gotten up expressly for those who wish to have a fine, hand- 
some, and tasty fixture which will bear very heavy weight. It was designed for 
holding a tray which, with instruments, weighed 30 lbs , and to extend at any angle 
or flexure without injury under that weight, when made of Bronze. Since the 
first Cut in Catalogue, page 131, the patterns have been entirely renewed and very 
much improved We make them in Iron, painted imitation of Bronze, with Brass 
Trimmings, and in real Bronze, very finely finished, with Gilded and Silver-plated 
Trimmings of more style than those in this Cut, which has been made from an Iron 
Bracket. The Joints at both main and small arm flexions are made with Coned 
Steel Pins and Friction Washers, which can be tightened as they wear, and, with 
proper attention, will last a lifetime. 
We have never seen a Bracket which at all compares with it in beauty or merit.

ZIGZAG EXTENSION BRACKETS. 
The above Cut exhibits Whitcomb’s Zigzag Bracket. The right to make these 
having come into our exclusive possession, we have rejected all the old patterns, 
and made new, exact, and well-proportioned ones. 
Those who have only examined the former make will be surprised to see how nicely 
these move, and yet how rigid they are at every point of their extension. These 
qualities could only be gained, in such an article, by the utmost exactness, fineness, 
and closeness of workmanship, with special tools fitted for their manufacture.

SAMUEL S. WHITE 
A beautiful and excellent preparation for filling teeth. 
For this new combination of metals (chemically pure) 
for dental purposes, great superiority is claimed over 
ordinary Amalgams. It will remain bright for years, 
and, when used according to directions, will preserve 
teeth more perfectly than any article in use, except 
gold; and under many circumstances can be success- 
fully used for the permanent preservation of teeth when gold would prove a failure 
in the hands of a large majority of operators. 
The process of combining and purifying the metals is such as to guarantee com- 
parative freedom from the tarnish of fillings, or discoloration of teeth, so often ob- 
served from the use of ordinary Amalgam. Ten years’ experience with it in the 
hands of some of the most skillful members of the profession has proved its ex- 
cellence. The increasing demand for a reliable Amalgam has prompted the intro- 
duction of this article, with the confidence that it will give entire satisfaction to 
those who use it rightly. 
To manufacture a superior Amalgam, always uniform in quality and texture, at a 
moderate cost, it is necessary to make it in large lots, and by the aid of machinery. 
It is also necessary that each lot be thoroughly tested by a competent Dentist before 
offering it for sale. The inventor has made such arrangements for its manufacture 
as to enable him to guarantee the reliability of every package. 
To meet the wants of different operators, two grades of the New Amalgam were 
manufactured (fine and medium coarse). 
Hereafter but one grade will be put up, which will consist of the two grades 
combined, and will only be put up in one-ounce packages, with circular of 
instructions accompanying each, with trade-mark of manufacturer on each package 
and circular.

SAMUEL S. WHITE. TONGUE HOLDER AND DUCT COMPRESSOR. 
No. 1. 
No. 2. 
For this modification of a very useful instrument, we are indebted to Dr. P. T. 
Smith, of Tipton, Iowa. 
By its use the tongue may be clamped down in place and kept in position as 
long as desired. The sublingual and submaxillary ducts may be very effectually 
closed by placing upon them rolls or pads of bibulous or tissue paper before apply- 
ing the Compress; a pad of paper or a napkin should be placed on the tongue before 
applying the instrument. The use of it is a relief to patients rather than a dis- 
comfort, holding the tongue entirely out of the way during an operation, without 
requiring a constant effort on their part. It possesses all the advantages of the 
Hawes Compressor, and the additional convenience of a lateral and sliding motion 
of the Compressor and a lateral motion of the chin-plate, by which the post can be

SAMUEL S. WHITE. METALLIC AIR-CHAMBER PATTERNS. 
We invite attention to the above Patterns. They are made from new dies, and 
special care has been taken to avoid sharp edges and angles. 
The fact, however, which gives them value over those heretofore in the market, 
is that they are made of 
METAL THAT WILL HOT BLACKEN THE RUBBER. 
This has been a grave objection against their use, but is entirely overcome in 
these. 
Of each style there are two thicknesses, represented by the lines over Fig. 1. 
They are made so well, and offered at such a price, that no one, after using 
them, can afford to cut his own Patterns. 
Both sides of each style are shown in the Cuts.

SAMUEL S. WHITE. WE CALL ATTENTION TO A NEW FORM OF 
TOOTH-POWDER BOTTLE. 
Patented. Nov. 19th, 1867, by Dr. J. B. Da Camara. 
The Bottle has a silver-plated metallic Cap, which is retained by a thread on 
the neck, and is easily removed to fill the Bottle. 
The Tube in the centre allows the nice distribution of the powder on the brush, 
and is closed by a neatly-fitted sliding Cap. 
This convenient manner of keeping Tooth-powder meets with general favor. It 
avoids waste, can be readily carried when traveling, retains the fragrance of the 
powder, and several may use from the same bottle with propriety.

dentists to affix their own labels. We are prepared to furnish them by the dozen, 
gross, or in original packages. 
SAMUEL S. WHITE. TOOTH POWDERS, Etc. 
The large sale which our Powders and other preparations for the mouth have 
attained, enables us to purchase the materials in such quantities as to obtain the 
lowest rates; while our facilities for preparing them in large quantities so reduce 
the cost of manufacture, that we can afford to sell them at lower prices than the 
Dentist could possibly make preparations of the same quality for. 
TOOTH POWDERS. 
We have recently revised our formulas for Tooth Powders, and now offer to the 
Profession three grades, called respectively No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. 
No. 1 is a very elegant powder, highly perfumed with delicate oils, and is in every 
respect, as perfect as we know how to make it. 
Price, in 1 lb. tin cans $1.50 
“ “ 4 lb. “ “ 5.00 
No. 2 is less delicately perfumed than the No. 1, but is an excellent powder. 
Price, in 1 lb. tin cans $1 00 
“ “ 4 lb. “ “ 3.50 
No. 3 is intended to take the place of the old No. 2, but is an improvement on 
that; and, though designed more for real efficiency than for nicety as a toilet 
article, is a very agreeable and beautiful preparation. 
Price, in 1 lb. tin cans $0.75 
“ “ 4 lb. “ “ 2.50 
All of these powders are warranted not to contain any injurious ingredients— 
the No. 3, as well as the higher priced powders, being composed of pure materials, 
the difference between them being more in the taste and odor than in their essential 
qualities. 
TOOTH PASTE. 
There having been considerable demand for a good Dentifrice in the form of a 
Paste, we have prepared an article which, it is believed, will give entire satisfaction. 
It is handsomely colored and delicately perfumed, and all the ingredients are war- 
ranted free from objectionable qualities for the purposes for which it is designed. 
Put up in Pearl Color Boxes and labeled without the manufacturer’s name. 
Price, per dozen boxes $6.00 
Retail price, per box 75 
TOOTH SOAP. 
In response to the request of several prominent members of the Profession, we 
submit this preparation as combining all the properties which are needed in a 
soap for Dental uses. 
It is composed of the following ingredients, warranted of the best quality: 
Purest White Soap, Orris Root, 
Cocoa-Nut Oil, White Sugar, 
English Precipitated Chalk, Aromatics. 
These ingredients, combined in due proportions, form an efficient dentifrice, pos- 
sessing detergent, antacid, tonic and stimulant properties, grateful to the taste, and 
imparting a delightful fragrance to the breath. 
Put up in neat paper boxes. 
Price, per dozen boxes $2.25 
Retail price, per box 25 MOUTH WASHES. 
Astringent Wash.—An agreeable and useful Wash, suitable for the Office and

perfumed; leaving a persistent, grateful, and fragrant perfume upon the breath.

These Washes may be used with or without the brush, in their full strength, or

a large proportion of Castile Soap, and intended for daily use in cleaning the 
Mouth and Teeth. Used upon the brush—a drop or two is sufficient.

These preparations are composed of pure materials, and warranted not to con- 
tain any injurious ingredients. Labeled without the manufacturer’s name. Den- 
tists may retail them to their patients with a guarantee of reliability. 
SUPERIOR COLOGNE WATER. 
An occasional request from our customers to procure for them a Superior Cologne 
Water for office use, has induced us to prepare an article which we confidently 
commend and believe will give satisfaction. 
Price, per pint bottle $1.00 
SUPERIOR TEETH BRUSHES. 
MANUFACTURED EXPRESSLY FOR THE DENTAL TRADE. 
We offer to the Profession a large variety of three, four, and five-row Brushes 
of the very best quality of material and workmanship. For convenience in order- 
ing, we have had them put up in assorted dozens—each Brush differing in style. 
The Brushes being numbered on the handles, enables the Dentist or Dealer to 
select such styles as he may wish to order.

SAMUEL S. WHITE. TOOTH POWDERS, WASHES, Etc. 
EDITORIAL NOTICES FROM DENTAL JOURNALS. 
We had the pleasure, recently, of inspecting the preparations put up by Samuel 
S. White, such as tooth-powders, mouth-washes, cologne, etc., and think we perform 
a duty to our readers in calling attention to them. 
It must be apparent to every observant person that the manufacture of powders, 
soaps, washes, etc. by irresponsible individuals has assumed proportions that 
render some notice of it imperative on the part of those who have the welfare of 
their fellow-men at heart. In the majority of cases these preparations may be free 
from injurious substances; but, as their composition is kept a profound secret, 
nothing can be, nothing ought to be, done but to condemn the whole. 
So unblushing has this species of quackery become, that we sadly need a law, if 
none exists, to put a stop to the wholesale destruction of teeth by the peddlers of 
these nostrums at the corners of our streets. We all know that the public “clean- 
ing of the teeth” of those unfortunate children who submit to it, means their total 
destruction. Another class, but one remove from these, claiming the honored title 
of D.D.S., parade their wares in the daily papers, city cars, etc., utterly regard- 
less of their own or their profession’s reputation. 
We are, therefore, gratified that a responsible person has entered largely into the 
manufacture of preparations the formulas of which are not secret. From a careful 
inspection of these, we have no hesitation in asserting that they contain nothing in 
the least injurious to the teeth, or parts adjacent, if used under proper limitations, 
as all such preparations should be. They are not only valuable for the objects 
intended, but elegant in character, reflecting credit upon the taste of the manufac- 
turer. 
The extensive scale upon which they are prepared enables the proprietor to 
place them at a price as low, if not lower, than they can be made by individuals. 
We. therefore, hope that in future there will be no necessity to recommend 
patients to try the sozodonts or other irresponsible stuffs so much in general use. 
—Dental Times. 
We have received from Dr. Samuel S. White samples of the tooth-powders, 
washes, soap, and pastes, etc. he is now preparing for the profession. 
Dr. White is making more of a specialty of these articles than heretofore, and 
the attractive manner in which they are gotten up is an evidence of great taste. 
No expense has been spared in their manufacture. 
The use of the many nostrums of this character at the present time, the majority 
of which, to say the least of them, are of doubtful utility, has led to the preparation 
of Dr. White’s articles. He certainly deserves credit for his efforts to discourage 
the sale of injurious dentifrices.—American Journal of Dental Science. 
S. S. White, ever watchful of the interests of the dental profession, and neglect- 
ing nothing that may administer to its welfare, has, within the past year, made 
quite an addition to its prophylactic and therapeutic preparations. He has, with 
the best counsel and advisement, and with the best selection of material, prepared 
three varieties of tooth-powder, Nos. 1, 2, and 3, which, from a very thorough test, 
as well as from a knowledge of the ingredients, we regard as most excellent; we 
have seen nothing better for general use. It is made of materials superior to those that could be obtained by members of the profession usually, and is far better 
prepared than it could be in small quantities, and with less perfect facilities. It is 
furnished to the profession in any quantity from one pound upward. 
He has also a dentifrice in the form of a paste. This form makes no special 
change in quality, but is more a matter of convenience than anything else. This 
is furnished in mass, or put up in boxes, as may be desired. 
The profession are now able to obtain these preparations reliable and uniform. 
—Dental Register. 
Dr. S. S. White has prepared some very elegant preparations for cleansing the 
mouth and teeth that are not surpassed. His No. 1 tooth-powder is one of the 
most delicate and delightful I ever used. Those who do not prefer to prepare their 
own dentifrices for the use of their patients cannot do better than to keep a supply 
of this on hand. 
His tooth-paste is also elegantly put up, and is all that could be desired for those 
who prefer dentifrice in this form. 
Dr White has also given the profession a tooth-soap, as worthy of commendation 
as the above preparations. 
Lastly, to make the dental toilet complete, he has put up in good style a desir- 
able tooth-wash or mouth-wash of a saponaceous character. He has in fact “As- 
tringent,” “Tonic,” “Aromatic,” “Bouquet,” and “Saponaceous” mouth-washes. 
Before leaving the subject, I will say a word for a tooth-powder bottle invented 
by Dr. J. B. Da Camara, a cut of which is seen in the Cosmos. It is certainly, in 
my opinion, the most desirable invention for keeping and using tooth-powder ever 
invented. It avoids waste, preserves perfectly the odor or flavor, and can be 
taken and used by the traveler as conveniently as though he was at home.—Missouri 
Denial Journal. 
Dr. S. S. White, Philadelphia, has favored us with a supply of his preparations 
for the teeth and gums, which command a large sale among the profession in the 
United States. Having some happy leisure on their arrival, we set to work, and 
gave every one of the specimens a personal trial. Such hygienic warfare was 
never known before. No. 1 tooth-powder, very elegant and fragrant; No. 2 less 
delicately perfumed, but excellent; No. 3 designed more for real efficiency than 
for nicety as a toilet article, but pleasant. 
Then came a tooth-paste, which, however, we cared less for than any other kind 
of dentifrice. Then tooth-soap, which is the perfection of dentifrices of this nature. 
Five beautiful mouth-washes followed. Astringent Wash, combining anodyne, 
disinfectant, detergent, tonic, and styptic properties; Tonic Mouth-Wash, stimulant 
and slightly astringent; Aromatic Mouth-Wash ; Bouquet Mouth-Wash, a beautiful, 
highly perfumed wash, leaving the breath fragrant; Saponaceous Toilet-Wash, a 
detergent, alkaline preparation. 
Also, a bottle of superior Cologne-Water for office use, and Dr. Da Camara’s 
patent tooth-powder bottle, a very convenient and chaste article. 
We have the manufacturer’s word, and that is as good as his bond, that all of 
these preparations are pure and harmless; and we should judge from personal 
examination that they would be efficient and pleasant. 
The manufacturer is enabled to dispose of these preparations, neatly put up, at 
lower prices than any dentist could possibly make them, and we have pleasure in 
recommending them, one and all, to the Canadian profession and public.—Canada 
Journal of Dental Science.

TESTIMONIALS. 
The undersigned regard with great pleasure the efforts of Dr. S. S. White to in- 
troduce to the profession and to the public efficient and reliable preparations for 
the mouth and teeth, from formulae open to the profession. We therefore commend 
to all interested the various forms of DENTIFRICES, PASTE, SOAP, and WASHES, 
and the improved TOOTH BRUSHES, manufactured by him, believing that their 
general adoption, to the exclusion of the many secret and pernicious compounds in 
the market, will be of advantage both to the profession and the public.

Thumb-screw. Can be easily applied to all Chairs 
requiring a Head-rest. 
The cut represents a back view of the 
Rest as applied to a Chair. A repre- 
sents the Upholstery, mounted on a Ball- 
and-socket Joint, B. A Screw, c, holds in 
position the inner part of a Clamp, while a 
Bolt in the opposite end is received into 
the Thumb-nut, d, which clamps the Ball 
on the Slide-rod, E. F, a Tube supported 
by a ball and socket placed in a line with 
the seat of the Chair. G, curved Cross-rod 
mounted with Globe and Cup Joints, h h, 
adapted either to a flat or a round-back 
Chair. 
The swinging of the Cross-rod, G, gives 
a forward and back motion; the upright 
Tube, F, sliding along this, a wide lateral 
motion; the Slide-rod, E, an up-and-down 
motion. These motions, either separate or 
combined, are controlled by the Thumb- 
screw, k, by which strong fixation is made 
in any position the head may be placed. 
This invention is the result of much study 
by its author, to supply a want found, from 
his own practice, to exist in all Dental 
Chairs. By it a direct, prompt, simple du- 
plicate or apposition movement is employed, 
which follows the patient in any direction, 
thus making adjustment and support easy 
and firm in all positions. The following 
are some of the advantages of this Head- 
rest: 
A very great range of movement in all directions The scale of its movement 
makes adjustment at once for a small or a very tall person. 
The facility with which any change can be made, without removing the head 
from the Upholstery, gives great comfort both to patient and operator. The wide lateral motion, without disturbing the seat of the Chair or the security 
of the patient, relieves the operator from leaning across or of being deprived of 
an easy position. The old high and cumbersome chair-back is not required. 
Having its support at the base and sides, it can be applied to any Chair, while 
at the same time the Chair is braced and made stronger. 
There are no prominent or projecting parts in the operator’s way. 
Its simple yet distinguished mechanism removes the usual cumbersomeness, and 
gives an elegant appearance. 
More than two years’ practical test of its working, the highest approval of men 
eminent in the Dental Profession, who have adopted it on their Operating Chairs 
to the exclusion of the old complicated forms, or those made with the Chairs, 
permit the author to modestly claim the invention of the simplest and best Head- 
rest.
