"Dr. Herman j^ennmalm, Rockford, 111.
"Dear Sir: In answer to your favor of November 21, I have to state that
there are no laws in Salvador regulating the practice of dentistry; that no ex-
aminations are required for said practice; that there are three American
dentists and three native ones practicing the profession., and that there are no
dental schools in the country.
"As a rule American dentists are considered the best in Salvador, and they
do very well in their business.
" Hoping these data will be of some use to you, I remain, sir,
Your obedient servant,
G. Dawson,
J.
United States Vice-Consul"
