New York, having pracrsed the three past winters
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 Pennsylvania
avenue, near Tenth street. where or both of the
partners may always be found in attendance. They
respectfully tender their professional services to their
friends and the public, and invite all who may re-
quire the advice and skill of the experienced and
practical dentist call on them, learn their terms,
and examine thel. 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:
LIST. 1t saves the pain attendant upon the removal
of the roots Of the front teeth when in healthy con-
dition, and makes those roots highly useful in fast
enng the artificial teeth.
Cd. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use
full in the process of mastication than the common
mode.
Sd. 1t renders 1t easy to remove and replace the
teeth which, together with the peculiar simplicity
of the fastenngs, enable the wener to keep them al
ways clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be in order TO be understood and
used to be appreciated 1t Is universally commend
ed by those who have ava.led themselves of its ad-
vantages.
