    PRESS OPINIONS ON FIRST EDITION We believe the conclusions are fair, and the day is not far distant when the dental world will come to believe them as he believes them. We believe no progressive, up-to-date Practitioner of Dentistry ought to be without the book, to at least get the measure of himself by it, or to model his views upon it. Dental Headlight, U.S.A. Mr. Wallace ably champions his own views, and the work has many points to stimulate thought; we can recommend its perusal to our readers.—Dental Record. If not absolutely convincing, is none the less of great importance in calling a'tention to the dental dangers arising from our civilised methods of preparing food. Journal of the British Dental Association. Dr. Sim Wallace has advanced an ingenious theory to account for the increasing prevalence of dental caries.— The Lancet. The work is the result of seven years investigation of a question which has never been satisfactorily answered, and Dr. Wallace is to be congratulated upon the result of his labours. Birmingham Medical Review. Mr. Wallace has certainly written a readable manual, and further, has brought forward a theory to account for dental decay, now so prevalent, which seems novel, and yet likely to ' hold water' . . . we have no hesitation in recommending this short work to the attention of those who are interested in this important question.—Dublin Journal of Medical Science.
