Dr. WORMALD, in proposing “The British Dental Association,” said: Mr. President, and gentlemen, this toast is one, I am sure, you will drink with the utmost cordiality. Those who sit round this board, and have taken a part during the past few years in the politics of our profession, must experience a feeling of congratulation that we are able to meet to-night, and realize the fact that at last we occupy a recognized position. We need re-organization, and we need a central body, and the British Dental Association is that recognized body, and demands our support and assistance. Well, join that Association, and do what you can to lift up the profession from the low level in which we have been placed, and raise it to a much higher level. We need, as your President so kindly put it this afternoon, a higher professional tone, and a more generous feeling towards our brethren; and that can only be obtained by coming more and more in contact with each other, and through the influence of such an organization as this we are met to commence, which will assist in placing our profession in a position which it should long ago have occupied. Many of those who are now in our ranks may not see the full result of our labours, but depend upon this, that our labours will be recognised in the great difference which will show itself more and more in this country between those who are worthily following their calling, and those who indulge in non-professional practices. The British Dental Association will become strong and durable, and then we may be sure that under the wisdom and the guidance of those who have piloted our steps so far, we may safely follow them wherever they lead, and so lay a foundation upon which the rising generation may build up their professional career, and help to raise the status of our profession. That profession is worthy of all the time and attention that any honourable gentleman will give it, if he will follow his calling worthily, and serving the interests of a suffering public. In connection with this toast, Mr. Chairman, my friend Dr. Waite, will have the pleasure of responding, and I have the greatest pleasure in coupling his name with it.
