INTRODUCTION.

The object of affixing the price of every article enumerated in tMs
Catalogue, is to enable gentlemen to count the cost when making out
their orders, thus preventing disappointment or any unpleasant feeling s
on the score of price, when the bill is rendered.

All who may favor me with their orders, are assured that every
article sent them will be the best of its kind, and selected with care
and judgment, and anything not conformable with the order, can be\'
returned at my expense.

As there is no abatement or discount from the- prices set forth iû
this catalogue, gentlemen will do as well by ordering as if purchasing
personally.

It has been a subject of remark among my Dental friends, that I
make no distinction, by way of discount, between a large and small
bill. The reason explains itself by the difficulty of drawing the line
between a large and small purchase, as we do not all estimate money
by the same standard ; besides, the man that has once purchased a set
of ten or fifteen pairs of forceps, or any other articles, for one doUar
each, will not willingly pay one dollar and a quarter for the same
thing, because he needs but one.

My business has prospered and continues to increase beyond my
most sanguine hopes, on the principle which I have always pursued of
furnishing the best article that can be produced for the least money,
and the same price to aU ; and whenever, by any improvement in ma-
chinery, or other means, I have been enabled to lessen the cost of
manufacturing any particular instrument, I have invariably, of my own
accord, reduced the selling price of it, and shall continue the same
course.

With the present admirable arrangement of my factory, and the
large number of hands in my «mploy, I hope to accumulate a larger

-ocr page 6-

and mûre varied stock of Instruments for the coming season tlian I
ever liad before.

To students -who are about commencing the practice of their pro-
fession, my services "will be valuable for the selection and arrangement
of Instruments in a case. The most expert operator, if he would suc-
ceed in estabhsMng a
clientelle, must have something more than his
sign, after that has attracted a patient to his office, to inspire confi-
dence. And what, next to a good address and affability, will go so
far to secure that as a well appointed case of Instruments ? Your first
patients, having iio other evidence, will generally prejudge your skill
by the taste displayed in your office. An ostentatious display of ex-
pensive Instruments is not what I would recommend to the debutant,
but a neat, modest looking case, containing all that is indispensable of
substantial, plain Instruments, costing from seventy-five to one hmidred
dollars.

If a long and successful career in an art in which I have earned the
most enviable reputation, can inspire the few members of the Dental
profession, with whom I have not the honor of an acquaintance, with
confidence in my\'ntegrity, they will, when favoring me with their or
ders, send them and their remittances direct to their.

Very obedient servant,

JOHN D. CHEVALIER,

360 Broadway, New York.

Dentists visitingJNew York for supplies, will always find at my
Depot, to select from, a variety of operating chairs and spittoons ;
fifteen to thirty thousand teeth ; a number of rolling mills ; gold foil, of
various numbers ; cases of Instruments, already fitted up ; files, and
ten thousand dollars\' worth of Instruments.

OPERATING CHAIRS.

The very general complaint against the high price of this indispens
able piece of office furniture, induced me, sometime since, to engage
some hands, and have a few, of the most approved patterns, made in
my factory, and under my own supervis.ion. The result of the experi
ment is, that I ara prepared to supply the profession with chairs, at an
average reduction of fifteen per cent, from the standard prices; bring
ing a plain, substantial chair, with moveable head rest, down to the
low price of eigtheen dollars.

EXPLANATION OF PLATES.

The thirteen Forceps here represented, are those most popular with
the profession, and are numbered in this catalogue as follows: No. 1,
3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 10, 15, 20, 22 and 23. These come un-
der the head of extra quality octagon joints. Price, $25.

The following numbers comprise the same, or similar set, of the first
quality, oval joints ; price, $22 the set, viz. : Nos. 50, 62, 54, 55,
66, 57, 59, 60, 61, 64, 69, 71 and 72.

Gentlemen will confer a favor by sending me, by mail, the address
of Dentists, in their districts. Address, John D. Chevalier, No.
360 Broadway, New York.

PRICE OF FORCEPS REDUCED.

Extra quality Forceps, octagon joints, crocus polished, with or
without curve on the handle, each, $2.

First quality Forceps, oval joints, with or without curve on the
handle, each, ^1. 76.

Second quality Forceps, octagon joints, with or without curve on the
handle, not warranted, each, $1. 25.

By comparing this with my catalogue of 1853, it will be seen that
I have reduced the price of many other instruments.

The above cut shows the general plan of a Dental Instrument Case
that I invented in 1840 or 1841, which is conceded to be the most
convenient and showy that has ever been offered to the profession.
This case looks like any other when closed ; opened, it exhiMts all the
instruments at one view.

It will be seen that it has five drawers and a tray at the top, which
lifts out; under this tray is a space of two inches in depth, (in the
largest size cases,) which is divided into ten or twelve compartments,
each of which have a cover or lid; two of these compartments are
of a suitable size for books of gold and i tin foilg, the remainder for
teeth files and loose instruments.

^ I make four sizes of these cases, the price of which, including the
sinking in of the instruments and silk velvet lining, but exclusive of
the instruments, is as follows:—

For the smallest size, which will hold from sixty to one hun-
dred and fifty dollars\' worth of instruments, according to style, $30 00 •
The next size will hold from $ 80 to $200, 40 00

Do do 125 to 300, 50 00

Do do 175 to 400, 60 00

The foregoing may perhaps require a little explanation to be un-
derstood by all, it is this : the case No. 1, or smallest size, cannot be
ffled with less than sixty dollars\' worth of good plain instruments,
nor could there be more than one hundred and fifty dollars\' worth
of the finest instruments put into it, and preserve the symmetry of

-ocr page 20-

their arrangement ; that principle applies to all the cases. With this
■explanation, a gentlemen who wishes to order a set of instruments, say
for $250, should begin, his memorandum with the case No. 8, f 50 ;
next, pearl Mirror, which I have of all prices, from 6 to $40 ; mouth
Mirrors, from 1 25 $5 ; pearl handle foil Scissors, from 6 to $12 ;
gold Syringes, from 10 to $20, and the price of all the other instru-
ments he will find in another part of this catalogue, from which he can
select such instruments as will amount to the exact sum.

The most convenient size of mill for a Dentist is the BH inch, rol-
lers, the price of one, of the style represented above, is $45. ^

CHEVALIER\'S DRIEE STOCK.

This beautiful instrument is
not only admired by all who see
it, but purchased for its utility.
In the October number of hig
Dental Recorder,Dr. Allen says,
this is a very ingenious instru-
ment, and if any mechanical
drill can be made available in
practice, for the few cavities
that occur when the straight bur
cannot be used, he thinks this
can.

Dr. Robt. G. Hamill, of
Greensboro, Ala., says, in one
of his letters: Your Drill is
most unquestionably a
sine qua
non
to the Instrument Case of
every Dentist who wishes to be
thoroughly furnished with the
proper instruments for all ope-
rations on the teeth, there being
three or four classes of caries
that can be operated upon with
this Drill, better than with any
yet invented.

It wiU be seen by the cut,
that the bur can be put into
either side of the socket, as
shown by the letters E and D,
and whilst the bur can be ap
plied in any position in the mouth, the crank A always remains on
the right side to be turned with the right hand, as it revolves in a
groove on the shaft at H. Price, with one dozen Burs, or Drills,

TestimoBials in fafor of Dr. Hawes\' Monlding Flaskg.

Baltimokb, JSToy. 13, 1850.

Dear Sir :—We have used Dr. Hawes\' Moulding Flasks, and find
them particularly valuable in cases "where the alveolar borders project,
and in making castings for the construction of metalic appHances for
the correction of irregularities of the teeth.

Very respectfully,

C. A. HARRIS & A. A. EL ANDY.

Syracuse, Not. 18, 1850.

J. D. Chevalibk, Esq.:—Dear Sir,—In answer to your note of
inquiry relative to Dr. Hawes\' Sectional Flasks, I have to say that I
regard it not only as a very ingenious contrivance, but most admirably
adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. Hitherto I have
only been enabled to draw from the sand those flaring models by
making each^model in sections, a thing not only difllcult, but also ne-
cessarily requiring much time. With this flask the end is accom-
plished with equal certainty, with far less perplexity, and in one-
fourth the|,time. I take great pleasure in recommending it to the
profession. Very respectfully,

A. WESTCOTT.

Mr. J. D. Chevalier.—Dear Sir,—The Moulding Flasks which
you manufacture from Dr. Hawes\' pattern should be in the workshop
of every mechanicalfdentist; no one would be without it after once
using it in those cases for which it was designed.

Very respectfully,

CHAS. C. ALLEN.

[Jamestown, N. Y., Jan. 17, 1851.

Mr. J. D. Chevalier .—Sir,—wish one of your fifteen dollar
Lathes, which, on receipt of this, you will please send by express. I
have frequently used the Hawes\' Moulding Flask, I purchased of you
■when last in town, and find it exactly the thing.

M. W. SHERWOOD.

g? Nbw Oeleaks, Dec. 14, 1851.

I have never been more gratified by any addition to the dental lar-
boratory, than the introduction to mine, of Hawes\' Sectional Flask. I
have within th«| past two weeks bad a couple of cases when nothing

-ocr page 23-

else tbaa the application of the same principle would answer at all..
One, particularly, was for supplying the incisors, (superior jaw,) the
bicuspides, and one molar of each side—the eye teeth ajid dens sa-
pientia occupying the place of the second molar, (being nearly sound,)
but the absorption so great as to require a curvature of one-eighth of
an inch each side within the hne of the alveolar ridge. This irregular
cast was taken perfectly with Hawes\' Flask, and a perfect fit made
by bringing it up to the sides of this cast, cut in half, having pre-
viously brought up the body of the plate on a cast so filled tip on the
sides that it would draw. This shape of plate may be somewhat
eccentric, and may not be desired, but I will explain that I deem it my
duty to restore the loss of the alveolar process as much as the teeth,
and I wish a perfect fit in that case of half an inch above the alveolar
ridge, and on that plate I put another plate or abturator, bringing the
alveolar to its normal shape, as far as practicable.

A silrer medal was awarded for this Lathe as the best and most
-eoiwenient one exhibited at the late fair of the American Institute.

It is made of iron, stands three feet eight inches high, has a band
a\'lieel twenty inches diameter and of sufficient weight, the whole
vwhen packed weighing about fifty-five pounds. Price, $ 15.

I submit the following for the consideration of those who may be in
want of a grinding, polishing and drilHng Lathe :

Richmond, Indiana.

I received thy Lathe in good order, and must acknowledge my entire
satisfaction with it. It is all I could ask,^ and more than I thought
could be possible for a Lathe to be with its appurtenances. I must
now conclude in haste and under obligations to tihee, but
I must further
i, that the Lathe is worth to me, more than double what it cost me.

Mr. John D. Chevalibk:—Dear Sir,—I am greatly pleased witlt
the Lathe, or Dental Grinding Apparatus, of your manufacture, some
of which
I saw recently in your store, and am of the opinion that no-
thing manufactured for the same purpose is equal to them, all things,
considered. Yours truly,

New York, Nov., 1850.

Mr. J. D. Chevaliee :—Dear Sir,—Your new Dental Lathe I
consider a very beautiful and useful article, one of the very best either
for a resident or traveling dentist which
I have ever seen.

Very respectfully,

CHAS. C. ALLEN.

We have seen a Dental Lathe, invented by Mr. Chevahej, which
for practical utihty, beauty and convenience, both for use and trans-

Mr. Chevalier .-—Dear Sir,—During the past season I ordered

Yours truly,

I have used one of Cheyaher\'^ Lathes for grinding teeth, &c., and
I consider it decidedly the best I ever saw made for that purpose. I
have seen many of them in use, and I have yet to see the first dentist
who does not agree with me that for a Portable Lathe they are just
■the thing.

New Yokk, Jan. 20, 1852.

Mr. Chevalier\'s Lathe has long been in use in my shop. I am
pleased with it on many accounts, for its portability and adaptation to
all the work of a Dental Lathe, and very low price. I beheve it
is
equalled by none.

Respectfully,

J. M. HOWE.

To Dentists :—I have in the course of sixteen years\' practice used
many different kinds of Lathes, but never saw any so well adapted to
the purpose as those manufactured by Mr. Chevalier, of 360 Broad-
way. What astonishes me is how he can afford to sell such a piece of
mechanism, with all the little fixings, burs, brushes and stones, for
twenty dollars.

RECOMMENDATORY NOTICES.

It gives me pleasure to state that I have used Messrs. Orum
Armstrong\'s Incorruptible Teeth, they are much improved in form,
being more easily adapted to the plate. The gums are very na-
tural, the enamel good—not having the unnatural gloss that has
heretofore given Porcelain Teeth an unnatural appearance.

H. S. BURR, 365 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.

Messrs. Orum & Armstrong.—Having used some of your
Gum Teeth, I do not hesitate in pronouncing them the most
beautiful, and natural iu appearance, of any that I have hereto-
fore used. Yours respectfully,

E. M. NEALL, Philadelphia.

Messrs- Orum & Armstrong.—Gents : We have tried with
satisfaction the beautiful Improved Gum Teeth you had the kind-
ness to send us. They require less altering to fit a plate than
any others we have used, while the arrangements of the rivets
and the tooth nuitei\'ial is just where the Dentist most needs them.
