HISTOEY OF DENTAL SURGERY 337 :

The first number appeared in Marcli, 1868, four folio pages of adver-
tisements and four of reading. The volume ended with February, 1869, and
was succeeded by the second volume, which ended with December, 1869, so
as to begin the next volume with the beginning of the year. George R.
Welding was the managing editor. At the close of the fifth volume, De-
cember, 1873, it was discontinued.
April 1877, its publication was resumed as a folio quarterly of ten
pages. The last number of the Journal in this form, was the last of volume
ten, December, 1886.
January, 1887, it apj^eared as a quarterly in octavo form, edited by the
late Dr. Theodore F. Chupein, beginning the first volume of the third series.
The fourth series began with the second number of the second volume, with
no change, however, in the journal ; the cover continued to be marked
''third series" until Xovember, 1889. The volumes are numbered consecu-
tively from January, 1887. It became bimonthly with No. 1, of volume
third, January, 1889, and so continues (1908).
Dr. Chupein died March 23, 1901, and was succeeded by Dr. J. Edward
Line, of Rochester, N. Y., the present editor (1908). Under Dr. Chupein's
administration the journal was greatly improved. He was a tireless worker,
and in addition to being himself a writer of alulity, had the happy faculty
of appreciating and selecting items of practical interest to dental readers
from the many journals, scientific and professional, he was accustomed to
read; these were copied by other dental journals, and the "Dental Office and
Laboratory" became the most frequently quoted dental journal published.
Dr. Line has had many years experience as an editor of a dental journal
under his management the journal is holding the place in dental literature
his predecessor made for it. The more than forty volumes of Johnson and
Lund's little journal have been helpful to many, perhaps more so than some
more pretentious publications.

THE DENTAL TIMES.

Early in 1863, the faculty of the Pennsylvania College of Dental Sur-
gery, Philadelphia, deemed it desirable to have a means of communicating
with the profession entirely within its own control. It was for this purpose
that they edited and published the "Dental Times," a quarterly journal of
dental science, octavo in form, containing in the beginning about forty
pages in each issue. The first number is dated July, 1863. While its main
