Dentistry is profession with FIVE distinct
branches, demanding skill of five distinct
kinds. In our practice there are specialists
for each branch.
Our way assures good work in five branch

makes skill. The usual way secures good
work in one branch only, because nearly
every dentist makes one branch his hobby
and ncglectS the other four.
Specialists not only 30 better work, but
