their Washington Office open during the entire year
in future at their present location on
Pennsvlpania Ave., bettOeen 9th g 10Th sts.
where one or both of the partners may always be

professional services to their friends and the public,
and invite all who may require the advice and skill
of the experienced and practical Dentist to call on
them learn their terms, and examine their claims to
public confidence and patronage. They would par
culary call attention to their patent method of fast
ening artificial teeth when set on gold plate which
is used by them alone in the city Of Washington.
The most prominent advantages are the following
lst II saves the pain attendant upon the removal
of the roots Of the front teeth when in a healthy
condition, and makes those roots highly useful in
fastening the artificial teeth.
"a. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use
ful in the process of mastication than the common
mode.
3d. II renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
OF the fastenings, enable the wearer TO keep them
always clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen IN order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. II is universally commend
ed by those who have availed themselves of its ad-
