Carman, D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses, lectures, and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry, together with Dr. Carman's visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course, provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry, dental surgery, and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs (1857-1921), pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard (1869-1911), an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans, and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard (1870-1909), physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903, the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building, forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman (1886-1948) had studied in Houston, TX, and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances, including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists, X-Ray machines for patients, awareness of the dangers of bacteria, and bacteriological infections, new methods of anesthesia for extraction, and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The "Index" or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry, including extensive details on Vulcanization, Vulcanizing Rubber, preparing and constructing bridges, and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases, descriptions of inflammation, assorted diseases, necrosis, and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica, Operative Dentistry, Physiology, Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard "The Man that Cleaned up Havana, Cuba, 1898," chemistry, metallurgy, bacteriology, clinical dentistry, operative dentistry continued, and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology, with dittoed sections on tooth enamel, nervous system tissues, retina and crystalline lens, and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology, dental pathology, and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions, as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon, California, and the rest of the West. Upon graduation, Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson (1890-1965), daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City, and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the "Judge Building" in SLC, up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June, 1928, emphasizing oral hygiene, and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately, it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin, and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher (1849-1919) was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as "The Great Masticator" and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author, self-promoter, and fanatic on his doctrine of "Fletcherism" which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing, but also the results of examining school children's teeth in Andover, MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children, X-Rays of the skulls, abscesses, proper brushing and care of teeth, with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.
