The package "amsthm" allows such customization. Your requirement can be 
got by

  \usepackage{amsthm}

  \newtheoremstyle{dotless}{}{}{\itshape}{}{\bfseries}{}{ }{}

  \theoremstyle{dotless}
  \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
  \newtheorem{cor}{Corollary}
  ........................

and then using "\begin{thm}...\end{thm}"  and others. 

Note that the last but one pair of braces in "\newtheoremstyle" is *not*
empty, but contains a space. Please see the ninth chapter of our LaTeX 
Primer
at

   www.sarovar.org

for more details.
