MRS HENRIETTA BURR.

MRS HENRIETTA BURR.
Passed quietly away at her home IN
Bridgeport, October IL, Mrs Henrietta
Lewis Burr, aged 81 years. Mrs Burr
was born in Monroe and for many years
resided there. She was the last one OF
large family, most Of whom died from
the same disease. Nearly two years ago
an attack of grip settled ON her lungs.
She then removed to Bridgeport for med
ical aid, but the inherited disease so
long latent in her system was thorough
ly developed and after long Illness, con-
sumption closed the scene OF an energetic,
upright life. Her mind remained clear
until the last few hours. She attended
to her business affairs, made all arrange"
ments for her demise and burial, even to
the minute details. She was strong In
her attachment to her friends and bitter
ly opposed to everything dishonorable
or wrong. She was consistent member
of the Olivet church, was ever ready to
visit the sick and the poor In or out OF
the parish and will be greatly missed IN
that community where she has made
many warm friends.

AN AGE OF PROGRESS.


This Is an age of progress and adj
yancement. Except In rare instances
old foggism has been relegated to the
past simply because of its inability TO
cope with the push and enterprise OF the
present. This is true of all departments
of human effort. Ideas that, not 80 very
many years ago would have caused the
man who entertained them to be regard
ed as little short Of lunacy, to-day sug-
vest methods by which results are ac-
complished that would have been I'M
possible under the old system. No in
dustry has undergone a greater revolu-
ton than that of dentistry, as regards
means by which ends are attained. In
the light of modern researches and scien-
tific data now so easily attainable, the
system and method of dentistry, of only
dozen years since, was crude ana III
complete to a degree. Ia the majority
of cases results achieved, especially in
difficult cases, were rarely satisfactory.
Promiscuous extracting of teeth Is now
practised only by those dentists VINO
4
lack either the knowledge or the ability
to properly attend to them otherwise
The Boston Dental Co., of APO Main
street, Bridgeport, are meeting with un-
precedented success in saving teeth, by
their new process, il there is the slight
est hope of saving them. Are your
teeth irregular or uneven, and Is the
contour of the lip or cheek married be-
cause of this defect? Go to them, they
combine the most modern ideas with the
most approved and up to date appliances
for regulating teeth and they guarantee
absolute and entire satisfaction. In the
, view Of their extended experience and
unqualified success in the treatment OF
the most difficult cases they can easily
| afford to thus guarantee their work
| which many practitioners would be un-
| able to do. In fact they make Especial
| speciality" of regulating. See their
adv on first page. 1t tersely tells a
| timely tale.
