PTEITPOTO ZITHHEVAH
HISTORY OF DENTISTRY
By RAYMOND B. YEATON
The following is a brief summary of dentistry in the United States and as it is related to our com- munity.
Dentistry is a comparatively young profession, as we think of it today. As many years back as the Revolutionary War, dentistry was practiced by any person who had the courage to try it. Paul Re- vere was a'dentist who was quite well known for his very artistic false teeth. Also many barbers and blacksmiths practiced dentistry. Among his- torical exhibits in the museums at Baltimore are sets of teeth worn by our first President of the United States, George Washington.
Later on, especially in the rural districts, the family doctor did all the necessary extractions.
It seems to be a coincidence that at the same time Haverhill is celebrating its three hundredth anniversary, dentistry is celebrating its one hun- dredth anniversary. In the year eighteen hun- dred and forty, the first dental college in the world was founded in the city of Baltimore by Horace H. Hayden and Chapin A. Harris. It was The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, and is still in operation in the beautiful new school which, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-four, be- came affiliated with the University of Maryland. Since that time there have been established a num- ber of dental colleges in the United States, with the result that this country leads the world in the field of dental education.
Turning to local dentistry, we find that a num- ber of men were practicing the profession in the eighteenth century. It has been quite impossible to secure their names and to learn where they were located; but in the year nineteen hundrd and sev- en we find that the dentists of Haverhill decided to form a society of their own, which was known as the Haverhill Dental Society. This society is still in existence and is affiliated with state and na- tional societies, which gives members access to new methods or information. This is reflected in their work to the advantage of the public.
Dr. George E. Mitchell, who at the time of the organization of the local association was a member of the State Board of Dental Examiners, was elect- ed to serve as first president of the Haverhill group. Other charter members were L. B. Le- Gros, I. M. Luce, H. E. Wales, John Z. Ray, John S. King, W. M. Frost, U. P. Pierce, Frederic N. Ray, C. C. Tessier, George M. Bunker, John H. Preston, F. A. M. Burke, H. W. Stansfield, John B. Leonard, S. H. Chase and Ernest H. Fountaine. Of the above named members Doctors Luce, John Ray, Fred Ray, George Bunker, John B. Leonard and Ernest H. Fountaine are still Jiv-
ing, and George M. Bunker and John B. Leonard are still in practice.
Meetings are held quite regularly and items of interest are discussed. It has been the custom, whenever possible, to provide speakers who are well versed in their several fields of the profession; also, some meetings have been held in conjunction with the Pentucket Association of Physicians.
The Society has cooperated with the City Gov- ernment in the last few years in bringing dental health to those who are unable to afford the reg- ular fees. In the past few years the members of the Society have done permanent work for about one hundred and fifty pupils of the eighth grade who have been selected by the School Nurse, Miss Breck, as deserving of these services. Much cred- it is due Miss Breck for her efforts.
The Society has also established a special price for the Welfare Board, Bureau of Old Age Assist- ance, etc. In conclusion, we feel that the dentists of this community are always willing, as in the past, to help our City in any way possible.
Winnekenni Park
Winnekenni Park is the largest park in our city, with an area of 237.88 acres. There are four miles of roads and three miles of delightful bri- dle paths, along which our citizens may observe nature in all its wonder and glory. The iris gar- den includes over ninety varieties, some of them very rare and beautiful specimens. It has an as- sessed valuation of $21,500. The park name is of Algonquin derivation, meaning "very beauti- ful."
WINNEKENNI CASTLE, built in 1874 by Dr. James R. Nichols to resemble an English castle. Purchased by the city in 1890.

OPTOMETRY-A NEW PROFESSION
By JOHN BRAINERD WHITNEY AND ARAM S. GULEZIAN
The story of eyesight, as far as man is concern- ed, began perhaps three hundred thousand years ago when our ancestors came down out of the trees and first walked erect. Seeing, however, was then a long range daylight function, and remained so until perhaps about three thousand years ago.
The early contributions of Roger Bacon and oth- ers were mere reading glasses to magnify print to aid the vision of elderly persons or those with weak near vision. Benjamin Franklin, in his capacity of goodwill ambassador to France, wished to see clearly the faces of men about him that he might judge how well matched were their intentions and their words-so he made for himself the first bi- focal lens. And the first lens to correct the visual distortion we term "astigmatism" was made in 1827, about 113 years ago.
The industrial revolution that occurred at the beginning of the 19th century completely changed the habits of society. We moved our eyes indoors. Education became general; great factories sprang into being, and our people crowded into cities. Even our pleasures became through the years a matter of intensive close vision. Artificial light- ing could not keep pace with the demands of the eyes. We placed our children in schools several years earlier as new educational requirements be- came a necessity. In other words, our new and fine civilization made demands upon the eyes that they were not created to endure and we began to pay, as a people, in lowered efficiency.
Haverhill has contributed its share to the found- ing of this young profession. It was back in the days of W. H. Harris, James C. Bates, H. L. Dole, and L. Kimball & Son, all local jewelers with optical side lines, that another one of Haver- hill's refracting opticians foresaw the future and broke with tradition. Ellis W. Longfellow, in 1887, established at 27 Main Street one of the first, if not the first, independent optical specialty in the United States. His advertising read: "E. W. Longfellow-The reliable optician-Spectacles and eyeglasses skillfully adjusted and warranted." Like all pioneers he was ridiculed and laughed at, but his judgment proved sound, and within a year he had removed his business to Merrimack Street where it remained until his retirement.
Shortly after Longfellow vacated his position in Kimball's store, Charles B. Wright came to this city to take his place and was the last to work in that store. A few years later, C. B. Wright estab- lished his own practice and lived to see his calling become a learned profession. Others who will be remembered are A. B. Smith, Edward Gage, Wal-
ter Goss, and Edward Bacon. These men all con- tributed their part in the great changes that took place in the lifetime of one man.
In 1901 the profession was legally recognized when Minnesota became the first governmental unit in the world to license and regulate what then came to be known as the practice of Optometry. The benefits obtained from such regulation were so evident that within a relatively few years all the states and foreign countries had effective optome- try laws.
Here again in state and local optometric history, Haverhill stepped to the fore in the person of Henry G. Wells, who, as a member of the Massa- chusetts Senate, introduced the bill signed by Gov- ernor Eugene Foss, which legally recognized the profession in this state in 1912.
The principal value of such legislation has been the creation of governing boards in the individual states to regulate and set educational standards for the profession. Another of Haverhill's sons has played a prominent part in this work in Massachu- setts. Dr. Matthew J. Fowler was appointed to the Massachusetts State Board of Optometry by Governor David I. Walsh in 1915, and for 20 years, through 1935, helped guide the course of the profession in this state.
The American Optometric Association is the of- ficial organization of the profession. Individual state and local societies have also been formed. The Haverhill Optometrists are members of the Mer- rimack Valley Society of Optometrists, in which a prominent part has been taken by these men.

HISTORY of LOCAL MEDICINE-1640-1940
By FRANCIS W. ANTHONY, M. D.
It is difficult to condense the history of medical life in Haverhill between 1640 and 1940.
John Ward came to this country in 1639, being born in Haverhill, England, a master spirit of pi- oneers. Mather refers to him among other things as an "expert physician." If true, he was the first practitioner in Haverhill.
In 1641 William Simmons was paid for a "cure which he had done," and in 1705 Dr. Bradstreet was paid by the Selectmen for "what he did for Abraham Whittaker's children toward their cure."
About 1770 Dr. Nathaniel Saltonstall practiced here, his eldest son being Hon. Leverett Salton- stall, these being ancesters of our present Gover- nor.
Dr. Rufus Longley commenced practice in Ha- verhill in 1812. After forty-three years he attend- ed as his last patient the one who was his first. At one time he was the object of a long letter in the "Essex Banner" criticizing that, in the latter days of his life, he invited others than Unitarians to come to his bedside, to which he said that he loved the Christian heart whether it be Catholic, Protes- tant, Unitarian, Baptist or Methodist.
Unfortunately space does not permit reference to the many local doctors who have served the pub- lic needs.
In 1940 there are sixty physicians practicing in Haverhill or its immediate vicinity. The oldest in years of age and of practice is Dr. Francis W. An- thony, now completing his fifty-second year of practice and the eighty-second of life. Those liv- ing who have been members of the Massachusetts Medical Society for twenty-five years are Drs. An- thony, Bagnall, Benson, Capeles, Chaput, Cooney, Cotter, Connor, A. P. George, Ferrin, Holbrook, Kapp, Kelleher, McFee, Nettle, O'Toole, Pop- off, Perkins, Ruel, Sproull, Stone, Still, Stokes, Trull. The traditions of the profession are being carried on by these men and by the younger group, twenty-five in number.
