"Four and FIVE dollar sets Of teeth made
Z while weitingn
That is portion of en- advertisement that
caught reporters eye and caused visit TO
the Office OF the dentist who had inserted it.
Many men doubtless remember that GER
tain of theiz relatives remained in solitary
confinement for from two to three weeks
while waiting the arrival of the ideal set Of
grinders Is It possible that one car have
ones own worthless teeth removed, an I'M
preston of the mouth taken and new teeth
6sned, and all within an hour or two's timeE
THE dentist, when asked that question, an
Swered atnnlatively. 'You see,n said he,
q dentistry Is progressing like everything
else, and it is an every day occurrence Tor
me to get UP s. seq of teeth in an hour and
n half. Although itwould be much better If,
after having teeth extracted, the patient
would wait for a week until the mouth heals
and the bone which surrounds the teeth be
dissolved, still there are ever SO many who
come here and will endure the discomfort
and pain which OF necessity follows quick
operation rather than depart toothless.
''How do 1 do it 30 quickly Well. by
method or process l use III vulcanizing or
reduces that usually long process to an hours
time.
\ mo. it is not so satisfactory, nor Is it ally
Eess expensive, but It is quicker The price
: sof false set of teeth depends almost entirely
Fon the number and size of the platinum pins
q which the teeth contain, and the quality and
texture OF the porcelain used
''Then, too, the snlall manufacturers Of
cheap teeth are continually cutting one
another's Threats. and the people get the
benefit. The dentist has very little to do IL
determining the price.
-'CountryInen and farmers buy more false
teeth than do any other class OF people. You
see, Mrs Jones, for Instance, has the tooth
ache, comes to town, and, after frantic at
tsInpts to get rid Of the pain, has ell her
teeth pulled, and with beautiful new set,
with perhaps little gold filing IL front, re-
kIrns 20 her village o. farm Mrs Smith
Nsees Mrs. Jones teeth, and, not content to be
without anything that Mrs, Jones has, she,
too, comes TO town and has porcelain substi-
tuted for bone.
Country people don't take proper or even
decent care OF their teeth; and, besides, they
eat too much pie And they, too, ere the
people who want their teeth served up in an
hours time A countryman comes to the
city expecting to DO shopping for the folks
az home, take in the town and provide him
self, and perhaps his family, with set of
taseth, and all IN one day. Sometimes he is
euccessful, too.
Negroes carry good deal Of porcelain
land gold in their mouths, too, but they, al
most invariably, want the most expensive
cts, insisting upon gold plates and q plenty
IF gold filing ! have made a number Of
cts for negroes which cost 500. But IL a
ears time negro viii manage TO break the
'st set that can make, and then, Of course,
receives bill for repairs.
The gold plates are, Of course, incompara-
)bly better than the rubber or the celluloid,
and if patient can afford them always I'D
wise their use. New York Evening World.
