CiauOn is the wonder and admiration or

All things considered crown and bridge
WORK is probably the most difficult OF ali
dental work, and II used To he very cx-
penSIye, but dental speCialism, as praCticed
by this association, mas not only produced
men who were capable of doing better
crown and bridge work. but at 4 more
moderate price than formerly
The introduction OF COT3lOld plates Tor
ARTIFICIAL teeth by the met haniCal experts
or the association has reyOiutlonIZed the
making OF artificial teeth. The greatest
ambition OF modern dentists has been ~
late years conferred on the problem or bow
| TO make plate for artificial teeth, that
was light, strong, durable, and nOD-lrri-
tatIug that wOulu not disturb the delicate
TISSUES and nerve forces OF the mouth, anu
that could be made at a sufficiently mod
crate prlce, TO he within the reach or the
ma iority of their patients
After many years OF research, inyestt-
CATION, and experiment the experts or
IniS association nave selected COralOid
as being nearer the ideal plate tina
ANYTHING vet introduced. 1t is considered
by them almost as good as gold plates
After seeing one of these beautiful plates
one is almost tempted 70 have all or
their natural teeth urawn and wear cora
lOid the rest of ones life.
Ii would seem TO be more OF a pleasure
than Il necessity to have teeth drawn or
oparated upon by these skiiful dentists with
IneIT beautiful, clean looking instrument
ard appliances for the prevention or pam.
Washington should congratulate ltself upon
