A Dental REVOLUTIONARY EVOLUTION.

A Dental REVOLUTIONARY EVOLUTION.
The progress of the science Of den
tistrY has from the earliest ages of its
existence been always onward and up
ward. The student who tries to trace it's
history down to its inception soon re-
allies the magnitude of his task. He
finds evidences of dental operations of a
primitive kind that were performed prob
ably hundreds of years before the earli-
est date to which any authentic history
refers authoritatively. From this we
may reason that even as far back as the
time of mythology people realized the
necessity of giving the teeth a certain
amount of care. The methods then iu
vogue were, of course, of the most rude
and primitive kind, but such as they were
they proved partial success. They
were not scientific, that is, certain line
Of treatment was not followed because in
the nature of things it was bound to give
certain definite results, but on the con-
trary nearly every operation was purely
empirical. Nowadays, all is different.
There is little, if any, excuse for empiri-
cism in dentistry. In the bright light of
modern dentistry the star of the "black-
smith dentist" has paled and waned and
finally has descended below the dental
horizon into black and utter oblivion.
By this we do not mean that all dentists,
even at this stage of the worlds progress,
are competent or even conscientious.
Even if, for the sake of argument, we
admit that all operators have the requi-
site knowledge that should be the stock
in-trade of every successful dentist, the
fact remains that many are incompetent
to embody this knowledge in their prac-
tical work and thus do not return to
their patients an equivalent for their
money, and that others who are compe-
tent are not conscientious and do poor
work because they can do it more quick
ly, with less trouble and can the sooner
line their purse with the amount of the
coin oil the realm agreed upon for any
particular operation. But there are OPP
orators both competent and conscien-
tious. Among the most prominent in the
Eastern states are the Boston dentists,
whose headquarters are 420 Main street,
Bridgeport. They absolutely and I'M
qualifiedly guarantee every operation
performed by them. They have four
Offices in Connecticut alone. DR. Edward
S. Warnes, the president of the syndicate
apd rnonooor ~ tho Rridranort oAioao
has no peer in the country as a rapid,
careful and expert operator. The new
painless process originated by him has
proven priceless boon to thousands of
suffering humanity and is daiic extend
ing the boundaries of its 5amane iDflu-
ence. DR. Warnes has recently perfected
what he terms his New Prosthetic pro-
cess, which is bound to revolutiOnize
that department Of dentistry pertaining
to the art of making artificial dentures.
By this new and wonderful process per-
manent sets of teeth, either full or par
tial, are placed in the mouth Is minutes
after extraction. The fit is guaranteed
to be perfect, as also is the quality and
workmanship. This process was per-
fected only after long series Of exhaust
i've experiments. By its use you do not
have to 90 one hour without teeth. DR.
Warnes asserts that the uneasiness usual
ly felt in the gums after extraction is
eliminated by his new process. Ii you
have teeth that must be extracted, and if
you dread the usual lapse of three to six
months when you must do without teeth
to the detriment not only of your person
al appearance, but also of ease in CONVEX
sation, call upon the Boston dental spe-
cialists and obviate this very important
difficulty. They also make gold crowns
and bridges, warranted 22k, at one-half
usual prices.
