DR. j. NJ. a NDERS0N, respectful
- ly announces that he will be prepared to
insert Aluminium Plates SO soon as the ne
cesSary aperatus can he furnished from Bal
tfmore. He confidently Ereeommends this
new discovery as equal, If not superior, to
anything that has ever been used in dental
art. When first inserted these plates are OF
silYeryf whiteness, which in time becomes Of
afuby color. They very light-one- fourth
the weight of rubber plates--as strong almost
as steel, and are not affected by acids or food
ofany description, and are really a valuable
addition TO the resources of the scientific
Dentist. Dr. A. Will be at Orange C. II. per-
