...accelerated when a rich man dies, leaves a legacy. San Francisco's Grace Cathedral (Episcopal), building since 1910 on Nob Hill, has had a different course. For the past year its staff has watched, with anxious eyes, the state of health of a doddering, 85-year-old retired dentist named Dr. Nathaniel Coulson. To the Cathedral's building fund, pious Dr. Coulson has assigned the income of no less than 50 annuities, totaling between $1,000 and $2,000 a month. The annuities cease when Dr. Coulson dies...
...years ago Dentist Coulson sold $25,000 worth of bonds, ordered a carillon for the Cathedral. Last year the Cathedral's North Tower, which was to hold the bells, still existed only on paper. Dr. Coulson sold the rest of his securities-$42,000 worth-and moved into an old people's home, to save enough to get the tower started so that he could hear his bells before he dies.

Belding, a Waucoma, Ia. dentist, claimed to have confirmed the belief that diet and caries are related. Backing their conclusions with a mass of laboratory detail gathered over a period of twelve years, they declared that the cause of caries was not candy but certain...
...horse's bones are not extraordinarily brittle, but a horse's weight and its momentum often produce breaks that are too much for veterinary skill or owner's purse. But veterinary surgeons can heal many a horse's broken leg. One method: Cincinnati dentist, Dr. Peter Wehner, uses a cast made of dental stone, says he can mend even a compound fracture. Though Dr. Wehner has successfully treated four race horces, none of his patients has raced again...
