Dr. Frank A. Shattuck ’s Unfolding “Specialty, the Administration of Nitrous Oxide Gas”

According to New York City directories, Dr. Frank Alton Shattuck ran his dental office at 297 West Twelfth Street from roughly 1883 through 1887. So, this four-page advertising folder (lower right) was apparently printed sometime in the mid-1880s. Trained under a dental preceptor, Dr. Shattuck advertised his practice as embracing “all branches of the profession.” On the inside of this elegant folder from the Wood Library-Museum’s Ben Z. Swanson Collection, Dr. Shattuck trumpets that his practice includes “as a specialty, the administration of Nitrous Oxide Gas” (upper left).
