women Now Make No Fuss Over
False Teeth.
Within the past fifteen or twenty years
dentistry in all its branches, but partic-
uIarly as regards artificial teeth, has
made rapid professional progress. To-
day my lady Inay part with all her grind
ers, if she so wills, yet the specialist in
artificial ones will replace in porcela in
the two sets intact, with such perfection
that her dearest friend cannot detect the
exchange
The fashioning of false teeth has been
reduced To a science, their maker is become
an artist He uses his head a s well as his
bands. When his charming feminine pa
tient comes TO him with tears in her eyes
and in her hand her front tooth carefully
wrapped in tissue paper, he assures her,
and with truth, that he will make her du-
plicate which will deceive herself. This
alleyiates the mental stress of the sufferer
whose grief could not have been more in
tense short OF the loss of a dear friend or
relative
When, in the course OF time, il becomes
q case of an entire set, the Specia LIST
makes a close study of his fair pa tents
face as well as of wha t ma nDer OF teeth
nature originally gave her, and works ac-
cordingly. If they have been straight and
white, he makes the new ones so. If, de-
parting from their original plan, they ha We
changed color or been filled, the alteration
Is copied. If they chance TO be irregular
or imperfect, the imperfection is repro
duced TO the letter. The plate no longer
fills the mouth 10 overflowing and crowds
out the lips. All is compact ard tight fit
ting. But in case the cheeks or lips need
holding out, the artificial gums are more
or less enlarged, so that the pruverbiai
plumpers could not do better
This continuous gum plate as il is called.
is marvel of art and workmanship, with
its half circle of ivory-colored tines. 1t
takes its molder a full week of hard work
as he presses and carves the riable material
aud slowly brings it to perfection And
how relieved is his anxious patient when
she tries it in and finds the gums tinted to
perfection, the teeth Shaded TO match her
own departed ones, and even her pet filling
In view. She smiles with contentment and
finds that she is prettier than she ever dared
hoped to be again, ard can smile as broadly
as she pleases, there being no dividing line
between her gums aud teeth, but just a :
fine, wholesome interior is inviting in
spection.
A first-class specialist asks from 500 to
$3.50 for a single Upper or lower set, as the
materialised is expensive, his time is money
and he must use ais brains and ingenuity
TO perfect his work. The teeth must appear
TO spring from the gum, he must do his best
to duplicate nature, while ne aims at a
restoration OF the form and expression OF
the lace. And each new subject requires
new treatment; what looks well in one
mouth would spoil another Platinum is
the metal used for the plate nowadays.
1t comes from Russia and is taken from
the Ural Mountains. It is as expensive
rs gold and more easily manipulated. The
gums and teeth are made from powdered
feldspar, rock or porcelain, and baked two
or three times while undergoing the pro-
sess Of transformation into a row OF pearly
teeth.
OF course, II the dainty sufferer has
not $3.50 at hand she can be supplied at
cheaper dental rooms with anything to suit,

science viii be left out OF the question
