To the Dental Profession.
I HAVE PATENTE

HAVE PATENTED, and
9 row desire to introduce, an
Qr}S important Improvement in
Q1hp the construction of ARTIFI-
CIAL DENTURES, whereby the strength,
reliability and facility OF repair, pertain
ing to swaged plate work, is communicated
to moulded metallic or vulcanizable base.
Strong Plate Teeth as firmly attached to
the base as if soldered to swaged
plate, are, by this process, substituted for
those specially designed for moulded base.
BY their use the operator is left free to ex-
ercise his own judgment in their arrange
ment, and finds himself no longer confined
to the sameness of the present style of
blocks, or single teeth weakened by cary
ing for moulded work.
No new appliances are required in this
process. 1t is easily acquired by any one
familiar with either moulded or swagod
work. 1t gives to the operator confidence
in the reliability of his cases, exempting
him from the disappointment and per-
plexity often attendant on his most faith
full efforts. 1t renders partial cases as reli-
able as full sets, and, consequently, viii
tend to ameiorate the present deplorable
practice of extracting every tooth, sound
or unsound, which stands i'll the way Of the
latter.
The method has been thoroughly tested,
and is now submitted to the profession
with the assurance that it will be found to
fulfill all that is claimed for it. Its results
are highly artistic, very beautiful, and af-
ford the utmost satisfaction to operator
and patient.
OFFICE LICENSES will be the system
adopted, in relation to which-and other
m tiers in connection-circulars will be
furnished, on application to the subscrib-

ed) sat down to an ample and elegant re-.
past, which al seemed thoroughly to enjoy.
When the guests arose from the table, the
folding doors Of the parlor were thrown

was tree too that bore = choice variety
Of fruit. as ws soon had good reason to
know, for IN appropriate and elegant
present WAS given to each by the bene6-
cent fairy who presided over tho whole.
Now if this is not nice way Of doing

(Mr. and Mrs. R.) in which oil present will
heartily join, We will only add, il there

CHR1srNAs TREEs.-On Christmas eve.,
: tree wss prepared BY each Of the Prot
sstant churches Of this place. That Of the
Episcopalians was in the parish school
building. Although small, it was exquis-
itely gotten up, and Was covered over with
presents, confectionery and pretty nick
hacks, oil OF which looked very attractive
in the light Of the scores Of tiny tapers
which glistened among it, branches. It
also had some quite valuable gifts.
The tree At the Methodist church dis
played on its wide-spreading branches
great variety Of articles, gifts for the Sun
day School children, for friends, family
and pastor. TWAS arranged with neat
ness, showing to advantage the many arti-
cles it bore. The presents were most Of
them Of . generous nature, and We heard
that the value Of the tree was estimated
At $500: The pastor aud family very pro-
perly came in for goodly share.
At the Congregational church = tree
whose top reached the ceiling, bore its
fruit Of Christmas things pretty and useful,
while around the base were many too large
for the slender branches to carry. Its ap-
pearahosr when the tapsrs were lit was
very fine. Several very industrious pso-
pie were Engaged more than An hour in
transferring tho presents from the tree to
their swnsrs. The words, '.Merry
Christmas" formed Of twigs Of pine, were
stretched across over the pulpit stand.
The tree 1t the Presbyterian church VA,
also very handsome one. It was almos
entirely for the school, and the crowd o
children gszed with happy faces on tn
array Of pretty things which the twinklinl
, lights revealed to them. Although the at
tendance Was very large, not = little on
was missed, and all went home with gla
hearts. The tree was tastefully gotten up
and 80 were the provisions.
