'Ibis Is the firsiTn stance on reconl where water baa been employed to run the rnglne, and the benent which will re sult rrom II to the profession cannot lie esti mated. In the January number of the Dental Cosmos, J. Fmlerlck Ilabcock, D.

Aa to apace. Dr. Skiff's engine now occupies a space but twelve inches wide by sixteen Inches lung, and it cut ue inaevu arywuero, wiin one nana, to suit tbe operator's convenience. After seeing tbe engine run by water power, we bare no doubt that this method will come Into general nse with dentists 'usimx tho Morrison engine, and when it Is known that there are ll.UX) eleutists in tbe United Bute, some estimate can be formed of tbe value of Dr. Bklff's Hi a to tbe profession.
