NEW IDEAS IN DENTISTRY.
DR.. sapp's Wonderful Invention Will
Soon Be Placed on the Market.

Among the new things in dentistry
may be mentioned the ingenious de-
vices recently inverted by a member of
well known dental firm Of this city.
DR.. c. G. Sapp, of the dental firm of
Sapp & McGraw. 1874 Wyoming avenue,
is the inventor of set of instruments
especially designed for crown and
bridge work and also to be used to
great advantage in making teeth, which
excel all previous modern inventions
in one particular-th artificial teeth
are given the appearance of the work
of nature so much so that they can
not be detected from the natural teeth.
This is one thing in dentistry which
the profession have been working TO
overcome for years.
Another great feature to be consid-
cred is the fact that the instruments
are time and labor savers and work of
some kinds which heretofore has re-
quired hours to accomplish, with the
use of DR.. Sapp's invention, can now
be done in as many minutes and with
more satisfactory results. DR.. Sapp has
made application for patents ard eX-
poets to have the Instruments pro-
tected by law in the course of few
days and then they will be placed on
the market. DIR. Sapp has the well es-
tablished reputation of being the best
crown and bridge workman In the
state and in 1887 he received gold
medal for a prize award for the best
gold work against fitty-one competit-
ors at Baltimore. His work also re-
ceived first prize at several fairs dur
ing the last season.
Doctors Sapp & McGraw have been
remarkably successful since opening
their handsome parlors on Wyoming
avenue, and by the careful attention to
wants of patrons as we'll as the excel
lence of their work, have built up a
thriving business. The firm is to be
congratulated on their progress and
genius.
