Anatomy Anatomy of the Human Body (www.bartleby.com/107) An online version of the 1918 version of Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body. Return to top of page Dentistry Dental Cosmos Online (quod.lib.umich.edu/d/dencos/) Dental Cosmos "was the first enduring national journal for the American dental profession, and one of the most significant in the early history of American dentistry. From 1859 through 1936, when it merged with the Journal of the American Dental Association, the foundation of dental practice was documented and debated in its pages. Many of these original source articles are still cited and considered classics in the field.""--Website. The journal was digitized by the University of Michigan for the years 1859 to 1891. Kurze Abhandlung von den Krankheiten der Zähne und deren Kur (quod.lib.umich.edu/c/conraditc/) The University of Michigan Dentistry Library is one of two libraries known to own a copy of this book which was published in 1755. Translated, the title is, "The King's Doctor of the Mouth and Teeth, Johann Conradi, Brief Synopsis of the Diseases of Teeth and Their Treatment." The book was written as a managerial summary of the dental art at that time for the King of Denmark by the court dentist, Johann Conradi. Conradi was a contemporary and acquaintance of Pierre Fauchard, considered by many to be "the father of dentistry." Word searches in both German and English are possible.
