Medical & Dental Equipment:

The practice of medicine and dentistry in the United States gained an increasingly professional status in the 1850s. By the turn of the century, nearly every state had graduate schools with standard courses. The folk practice of medicine and dentistry was largely regulated out of existence. Professionals sought tools, equipment, and medicines to treat patients, and manufacturers met the needs of these medical practitioners and their patients.
