Book excerpt: 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 surge'ry 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.
