Teeth While You Wait

-Four aud five dollar sets Of teeth made
while waiting.
That j. a portion Of an advertisement
that caught a reporters eye and caused q
visit 10 the office of the dentist who had
inserted il.
Many men doubtless remember that
cerAin Of their relatives remained in sol
itsry confinement for from ,w0 10 three
weeks while waiting the arrival Of the
ideal set Of grind r. Il Is possible that
one can have ones ogn worthless teeth
removed. an impression of the mouth
taken and new teeth fitted, and all with
IN an ho1s Or two's time.
The deniist when asked the question,
ausWefed-affirnaiively.
You See said be, dentistry Is pro-
gressing ike everything else, and 1t Is an
eeery day occurrence for me 10 get up
= set Of teeth in an hour and a half
Although II would be much better IT, a.
ter having teeth extalciei the patient
would ait for a wees until the mouth
heals and the bone which surrounds the
teeth be dissolved, stilI there are ever 20
many who come here and viii endure
he discomfort aod pain which Of neoes-
sity follows a quick operation, rather
than depast too;hless.
'1Hox DO you DO It 50 quickly o.
We'll by a method or process I use in
snleani4ing or cooking the rubber used
for the pla.e, which reduces that usually
long process 20 an hours time.
'.No. it Is not 50 satisfactory, nor Is it
any less expensive, but it IS quicker The
price Of false set Of teeth depends al
most entirely on the number and size Of
the platinum pins which the teeth CON-
tain and the quality ani texture Of the
potcelsin used.
Then. too, the small manufacturers or
cheap teeth are continually cuttios one
another's throats, ani the people get the
beueit. The DENTS; has very little to do

Country people don't take proper or
even decent care u their teeth and, be-
sides, they eat too much Iie. And they,
TOO, are tire people who want their teeth
served up in an hours time. \ country

the town and provide himself, and per
haps his family, with set Of teeth, and
all in one day. Sometimes lie is success
ful. too.
Negroes carry a good deal OF porce-
lain and gold in their mouths, too, but
they, almost invariably, want the most
expensive sets, insisting upon gold plates
and plenty Of gold filing. have made
4 number Of sets for negroes which cost
si00. But in q years time negro will
/ manage to break the best set that I can
make, and then, Of course, he receives a
I bin for repairs.
The gold plates are, Of course, incom-
! parably better than the rubber or cellu-
l0id, and if patient can afford them I
( always advise their use" Nor York
