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 .Apenre Tenth Street, where one
or both of the partners may always be found in
attendance. They respectfully tender their pro-
fessiona 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 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 remo-
val of the roots Of the front teeth when in
healthy condition and makes those roots highly
useful in fastening the artificial teeth.
I'd. 1t gives the teeth greater irmness, render
ing them always much less troublesome and more
useful in the process Of mastication than the COM
mon mode.
Sd. 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 c'ean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen in order to be understood and

Washington, D. c., Feb. l5, 1843.
DR.. J. Smith Dodge, upon his arrival in Wash
ington to open an Office Surgeon Dentist, pre-
sented to me letters from several friends in New
York of the highest responsibility and standing,
containing the strongest and most favorable testi-
monials, both as to the excellence of his private
character, and his superior professional qualifca-
tions. These satisfactory evidences of the man
and the Dentist induced me at once to engage the
professional services of Mr.. Dodge for my own
family and my wife and myself are now able
from personal experience, to add our own equally
favorable testimony in his favor as a gentleman
and skilful Dentist. This testimony is thus Civ
en- by me- as well in obedience to the earnest so
licitations of respectable and worthy friends in
New York, who have for many years experienced
the skill and fidelity of the Doctor in his profess
sion, as to my convictions of his personal and pro-
fessional merit
