Excerpt from Transactions of the Odontological Society of Pennsylvania, 1889-1895 Dr. J. D. Patterson, Kansas city_twenty years ago I had the misfortune to use cotton fillings, following the precedent of my pre ceptor. We did not use carbolized cosmoline as a dressing, but what was common at that time, creosote and carbolic acid. The frequent failures resulting from that practice, together with the advice and experience of others, caused me to soon discard it, and for a great many years I have employed another method. I do not wish to criticize. If it were not for the variety of opinions it would be useless for dentists to come together for discussion. I have great respect for those who take a bold stand and back their asser tions with logic. With all deference to Dr. Head, I have no confidence in the method he represents. It is no doubt better than the old method of carbolic acid alone, or better than the old English method of using cotton with sandarach. I think other methods are better in point of efficacy. There is an objection in mind to gutta-percha, so universally used throughout the West, and that is its tendency to leakage, I have found the fault present many times.
