nENTAL SURGEONS of Bond street, New
IL York, having practiced the three past win
ters in this city, respectfully announce to their
friends and the public that they have concluded
to keep their Washington office open during the
entire year in future at their present location on
Pennsylvania .4ue,ae near Tenth Street, where one
or both of the partners may always be found in
attendance. They respectfully tender their pro-
fessonal 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 chem, learn their terms, and examine their
claims to public confidence and patronage. They
would particularly call attention to their patent
method of fastening 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 1t saves the pain attendant upon the reno
val of the roots OF the front teeth when in a
healthy condition and makes those roots highly
useful in fastening the artificial teeth.
Cd. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, render
ing them always much less troublesome and more
useful in the process Of masticaton than the com
mon mode
Sd. 1t 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 can.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but TO be seen in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. 1t is universally COM
mended by those who have ayaed themselves Of
its advantages.
