§ DR. BREWERasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether any means have been taken to introduce dental surgery, other than mere extraction of teeth, viz. remedial measures for the preservation of teeth, into the Service?
§ SIR HENRY STORKS,in reply, said, that he could only repeat the Answer which had been given by the Secretary of State to his hon. Friend last year—namely, that he had consulted the Inspector General of the Army Medical Department, and had learned from him that all Army surgeons were required to be completely instructed in dentistry; but it was not thought expedient to divert their attention from other and perhaps more important subjects of duty for more special care of teeth.
