volume it was published for the Review Company by H. D. Justi, of Phila-
delphia, a dealer in dental supplies. This arrangement continued until the
close of the seventh volume; it then became the property of H. D. Justi
and Son, and since January, 1901, it has been published by that firm as
their journal.
Dr. A. W. Harlan, M. D., D. D. S., was the editor, assisted by J. W. Was-
sail, M. D., D. D. S., Louis Ottofy, M. D., D. D. S., J. G. Reid, D. D. S.,
and L. L. Davis, D. D. S., associate editors. Various changes have been
made in the associate editorial staff from time to time. The eighth volume
was edited by Dr. C. N. Johnson, Dr. Harlan having retired temporarily,
to resume the position a year later. With the close of the fifteenth volume
Dr. Harlan retired, and Dr. Johnson assumed the editorship. At this date,
April, 1908, he still edits the journal, and the firm of Justi and Son are
the owners and publishers. The publication is dated from their Chicago
branch; the home of the firm is in Philadelphia.

and nothing offensive to professional ethics or gentlemanly instincts has
ever marred its pages.
