The book Dental disease - its chemical causation and cure by R.G.Torrens

In 1938 my father, Robert George Torrens, B.A., B.D.Sc., T,C.D., Honorary dental surgeon to the Royal Victoria and West Hants Hospital, Bournemouth, had just had published and printed his latest book: Dental disease - its chemical causation and cure. The print run was sitting in the publisher's (Henry Kimpton) warehouse waiting to be circulated when a bomb landed and destroyed almost the entire run.

I have a copy and am in process of preparing it for publication on the www.

It is some 254 pages long. The first half of the book is aready available as a pdf file Dental disease - its chemical causation and cause.
