330 world's history and

After some years, Dr. S. C. Bensow and Moller started the
J.
publishing of a quarterly journal. It was issued during one year
only.
A similar fate befell the next enterprise of this kind. It was
a journal, published by Ax. Carsten. Died at one year of age.
January I, 1885, the first number of Skandinavisk Tidskrift for
Tandldger (Scandinavian Journal for Dentists) was issued from
Copenhagen (Denmark), by V. Haderup and O'Klepsch. This
journal was later removed to Stockholm, Sweden, and edited by
Dr. R. Martin, its name then being Skandinavisk Tidskrift for
Tandlakare (Scandinavian Journal for Dentists). It went out of
existence with the end of the year 1889, but reappeared in Janu-
ary, 1892, now under the name of Skandi?iaviska Tandlakare-For-
eningens Tidskrift (Journal of the Scandinavian Dental Society),
and was edited at Copenhagen, Denmark. Since January, 1894,
the same journal is edited from Helsingfors, Finland.
Odontologiska Fbreninge?is Arsskrift (The Odontological Soci-
ety's Yearly) is the organ of the Odontological Society of Stock-
holm.

by Dr. R. Martin, Stockholm) we take the liberty of borrowing
the following interesting facts regarding the first dentists known
to have practiced in Sweden:
There is named one Johan Eberhard Ehrenreich, dentist to His
Majesty, King Fredrik I. (1721-1751). He founded the famous
porcelain manufactory Rorstrand, which is still flourishing. He
is in the annals described as " quick, lively and ingenious."
In the issue of Politie-och Commercie-Tid?u?igar (police and
commercial papers) of March 18, 1758, is to be found an adver-
tisement by a dentist, Dominicus Scarpetta. It reads: " The
dentist, Dominicus Scarpetta, who, for several years, with his art
has served His Most Gracious Royal Majesty and many other
high noble and illustrious persons of this city with cleaning and
extraction of teeth, makes known that he now lives in the city,
cross over Kjopmangatan (Merchant Street) at Lilla Torget and
Baggensgatan (Little Market and Bagge Street), second house
from the corner, on left hand, third floor, where the shingle is
shown, with Sauer, the founder. 1. He removes tartar from the
teeth without any corrosive substances, and gives you a magnifi-
cent English tooth powder for cleaning of the teeth. 2. He has
a costly tooth-balsam which fastens the teeth and removes scurvy
