This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from A System of Oral Surgery: Being a Consideration of the Diseases and Surgery of the Mouth, Jaws, and Associate Parts Since the issue of the previous work - a period of rather more than two years having elapsed - the author has de voted himself somewhat exclusively to investigation and Observation in the-direction of the specialty herein dis cussed. Favored happily with opportunities not commonly enjoyed both in the direction of hospital and of private practice, he may not but feel satisfied of the value and solidity of the experiences and teachings here recorded. The present volume has been entitled A system: a system the author has exerted himself to make it; step by step, from the elements of the subject - from the first departures from normal life - attempt has been made to follow the various conditions to and through their pro foundest complications.

dentist Surgeon author medician
James Garretson was a son of Jacob M. and Mary A. (Powell) Garretson. He was born on 18 October 1828, at Wilmington, Delaware.
James Garretson received his early education at the Wilmington Classical Academy. In 1850, he became student assistant to Dr. Thacher, a dentist of Wilmington; practised dentistry for a time at Woodbury, New Jersey; graduated from the Philadelphia College of Dental Surgery in 1856, and in the same year, established himself permanently in the practise of dentistry in Philadelphia. He also studied medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, receiving the degree of M. D. in 1859.
Garretson served as a demonstrator in the Philadelphia School of Anatomy for several years, and became a member of the faculty of that institution in 1862.
For a time during the Civil War, he was in the military hospital service. From 1874 till his death, he was connected with the Philadelphia Dental College, at first as instructor in clinical surgery.
He became professor of anatomy and surgery there in 1878 and dean of the faculty in 1880. He was also professor of clinical surgery in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, and president of the Medical and Chirurgical Society of that city in 1883.
In 1891, he established a summer home at Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, where he died in his sixty-eighth year. His remains were incinerated at the Germantown Cemetery, and his ashes were interred in the Friends’ burying-ground at Upper Darby.
Garretson is generally recognized as the originator of oral surgery as a specialty of dentistry, and in that specialty there can be no doubt that he was the most skilful and eminent practitioner of his day. The outstanding feature of his technique, in which he differed from his predecessors, was the avoidance, so far as possible, of external incisions and consequent scarring of the face. Many extensive operations confined entirely to the interior of the mouth were performed by him at the Hospital of Oral Surgery, Philadelphia Dental College. He was the first surgeon to employ the dental engine as modified for surgical operations (1882) ; and its subsequent employment in certain operations, especially within the brain case, resulted from his demonstrations of its utility. Beginning in 1855, he contributed more than a hundred articles to dental journals, most of them relating to diseases of the mouth and oral surgery. In its field it was the first systematic work and the only standard text-book for many years. It was translated into Japanese in 1887. His last-named book consists of Two Thousand Years After, and a series of philosophical lectures delivered by him in 1888 before the Garretsonian Society of Philadelphia, founded and named in his honor. On May 5, 1930, a statue of him was unveiled at the Dental Department of Temple University, Philadelphia.

Garretson’s parents were Methodists, while his wife’s family belonged to the Society of Friends; and he regularly accompanied his wife to the meetings of the latter sect at Darby near Philadelphia, but never became a Quaker.
From an early age he was greatly interested in spiritism, Platonism, Rosicrucianism and transcendental philosophy in general, and throughout his life devoted much time and energy to writing and lecturing on such subjects.
An interesting writer and lecturer, and a deeply religious man with a mystic turn of mind, Garretson strove to harmonize the nebulous theories of transcendentalism with the solid facts of science.
On November 10, 1859, Garretson married Beulah Craft, by whom he had two daughters.
