INTRODUCTION
TO THE FIRST EDITION
It is not intended in the following notes to enter
exhaustively into the subject of treating and filling
teeth, but merely to allude to certain practical
points in a simple manner. The scientific prin-
ciples which underlie all practical work are not
dealt with, for they are best studied in the works
of those who have devoted much time to scientific
research. It has been frequently stated, and is
very true, that success in any operation depends
more on the man who performs it than on the
method he employs, and consequently a description
of personal work, in which there is little, if any-
thing, that is new or original may be of small
interest to the experienced. It is hoped, however,
that here and there may be found a hint that will
be of service to younger practitioners.
