Dominion Dental Journal 1899 PDF Download

Excerpt from Dominion Dental Journal, 1899, Vol. 11 We are very glad to be able to give our readers the portrait of Dr. G. Lenox Curtis, who has made a reputation for himself as an operator in the special lines of oral and facial surgery, which enabled him some years ago to abandon the practice of dentistry, to devote himself exclusively to these branches. Canadian dentists who are in the habit of attending our various conventions, and who have witnessed some of the brilliant operations in oral, facial and nasal surgery by the doctor, will remember his skill in working almost exclusively through the mouth, and without opening or scarring the face. The success of several of these cases was clearly due, to the special skill and experience the doctor enjoyed for many years as a practical dentist. The training in the every-day use of the dental engine, and various mechanical devices, led him naturally to resort to their assistance more than the ordinarily trained surgeon would be apt to adopt. Many of the methods and mechanical devices which we have seen the doctor use, were the outgrowth of practical experience as a dentist, and several of the best are his own invention. Dr. Curtis is, we believe, the only practitioner who gives his exclusive attention to his specialty, and we therefore look to him for the greatest advancement in his line. The same determination which characterizes his success, and caused him to lead in his profession, is seen in his love of a life in the woods, where he spends a large share of his summer vacation with gun and rod. He has travelled over most of the world and brought back with him thousands of photographs made with his own camera.
