'.Four and five dollars sets Of testh
made while waiting"
That is . portion ofan advertisement
that caught . reporters eye and caused
. visit to the ONCE Of the dentist who
had inserted II.
Many men doubtless remember that
certain of their relatives remained IN
solitary confinement for from two =
three weeks while waiting the arrival
Of the ideal set Of grinders. Is It possl
bio that one can have ones own worth
less teeth removed, an impression 81
the mouth taken, and new teeth fitted,
and all within an hour or two's timer
The dentist, when asked that ques.
Aon, answered affirmatively. you
zee" said he, dentistry is progressing
like every thing else. and it Is IN
everyday occurrence for me to get up
Q I'VE dollar set Of teeth In an hour
and a half. Although it would b
much better If, after having teeth OF.
tracted, the patient would wait week
until the mouth heals and the bone
which surrounds the teeth be dissolved,
still there are ever 30 many who come
here and will endure the discomfort
and pain which of necessity follows .
quick operation rather than depart
toothless.
How do I do it so quickly? Well.
by q method Of process use in vul.
canizing or cooking the rubber used
for the plate, which reduces that
usually long process to an hours time.
mo, it is not SO satisfactory, nor 10
+ any less expensive, but It Is quicker.
The price Of false set Of teeth depends
almost entirely on the number and
size Of the platinum pins which tho
teeth contain, and the quality and tex
ture Of the porcelain used.
"Then, too, the small manufacturers
Of cheap teeth are continually cutting
one another's threats, and the people
get the benefit. The dentist has very
little to do in determining the price.
Countrymen and farmers buy more
false teeth than do any other class Of
people. You see, Mrs. Jones, for in.
stance, has the toothache, comes to
town, and, after frantic attempts to get
rid of the pain, has all her teeth pulled,
and with q beautiful new set, with
perhaps little gold filed in front, ro
turns to her village or farm. Mrs.
Smith sees Mrs Jones' teeth, and not
content to be without any thing that
Mrs. Jones has, she. too, comes to
town and has porcelain substituted 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, are 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
at home,' take in the town, and pro.
vide himself, and perhaps the family,
with q set Of teeth, and all in one day.
Sometimes he is successful, too.
Negroes carry q good deal ofporce-
lain and gold in their mouths, too, bus
they almost invariably want the most
expensive sets, insisting upon golo
plates and plenty Of gold filing. I
have made q number of sets for ne
groes which cost one hundred dollars.
But in syear's time negro viii man
age to break the best set that can
make, and then, Of course, he receives
q bill for repairs.
1.-THE gold plates are, of course, in
comparably better than the rubber or
the celluloid, and If q patient can afford
them I always advise their use."-M
