Dr. Johnson's mosl benificenl work, Inking il all in all, was the securing
of Ihe appointment of a dentisl to the Slab- Lunatic Asylum. He found that
the suffering among the unfortunate inmates resulting from defective teeth,
aggravated their troubles and' interfered with treatment, especially convales¬
cence, and thai only a specialist could properly care for them. Mr not only
succeeded in having the appointment made in (Irorgia. but his papers on the
subject have been read even in Nova Scotia, and a committee was named to se¬
cure the appointment of such an officer to the hospital there.
Dr. Johnson was happily married to Miss Wilhelmina Wheeler, February
9th, 1897, and they haw two boys. Henry Herbert (b. Aug. 1899) and Polhill
Wheeler (b. Sept, 1902).
Ilr i- enthusiastically devoted to his profession and he has a fame wider
than bis own state.
To -ay that every studenl of the Southern Dental College loves this man
would be bul mildly speaking, When the hour for hi- lectures or clinics roll
around we know we are going In get something practical, and tin- many fine
points given to the studenl body by ibis man will be of la-ling benefit and
thoroughly appreciated in the years to come.
