[ Victorian dentristry. ] Printed volume titled 'The Physiology of the Teeth popularly applied to their care and preservation: [...] By James Dixon Goy, Dentist.

xi + 67pp., 12mo. Disbound and without covers. The preface to the first edition is dated from 'Liverpool, 1869', and that to the second from 'Lincoln, 1871'. In the latter Goy writes that he is in 'failing health', but that 'the whole has been thoroughly revised, and much additional matter introduced. The chapter on Artificial Teeth has been enlarged, and the character of the work altogether improved.' Scarce: no copy of any edition found on either COPAC or OCLC WorldCat, and none in the Wellcome Library. In 1902 Goy's name was struck off the dental register, as a result of his using 'in an advertisement the description L.D.S., Royal College of Surgeons, although he holds no licence from any English or Scotch College ; but he at one time held the diploma of the Irish College'. During the hearing reference was made to a 'letter received from the R.C.S. of Ireland, which stated that the College had cancelled Mr. Goy's diploma because he persistently violated its rules of not attracting attention by advertising' (Chemist and Durggist, 6 December 1902). In 1910 Goy was prosecuted by the British Dental Association for 'unlawfully using the title of dentist not being registered under the provisions of the Dentists Act 1878, and .also with unlawfully using and taking certain qualifications in relation to dentistry, to wit, L.D.S., which he did not possess.'
