agrees Wih This Greut Puper.-Un-
der the heading of ''Frostburg Pecu-
lially Fortunate" the Cumberland
Times says:
The Times would suggest to its readers
when they visit Frostburg to inspect the dem
tai parlors Of DIR. II. c. Wilson. 1t would
appear that the population of Frostburg
would not Justify such an expensive estab-
lshment. But the doctor has made himself
so famous in this county as fine gold worker
that he has constant employment for two
skilled dentists. 1t will be remembered that
the doctor received the highest honors from
the largest dental organization i'll the world,
at Buffalo, n Y, one year ago. The Times
agrees with the Frostburg JOURNAL by claim
ing that in the dental way Frostburg is pc
culiarly fortunate.
There is no mistake about this mat
ter. In DR.. Wilson Frostburg has a
dentist unsurpassed in skill anywhere.
Besides, he has the most elegant par
lor accommodations and professional
appliances for his work that money
will buy. All have had the effect to
attract many people from distance.
Hence, his work grows. He is an ex
ceedingl ly pleasant gentleman - one
whom it a pleasure to meet, either So
cially or professionally. These re-
marks are made about him without his
knowledge but they are true.
