The figures seem vast when the
small amount used in making a filling
s considered, but they are undoubt-
edly correct. The man in charge of the
gold department of the largest dental
supply house in the country arrived
At these figures after extensive re-
:earch and calculations and his esti-
nate is verified by other men in po-

Two million dollars taken out of its
stock of gold is the price that the
country pays annually for having its

country ever went TO dentist en-

ton pay visits TO the dentists chair
for some other reason than that of
having an aching tooth extracted. This
Increase in the number OF dental pa
tients in the country has resulted in a
consequent increase in the amount OF
gold used for this purpose. Prac-
tically all of the 80 per cent who are
numbered as the dentists patrons
have some gold in their teeth. Thus
ten years ago there was only about
81 900 900 worth OF gold put into the
mouths of the citizens as against the

Using the rate Of increase each year
FOR the last ten years as basis, the
average yearly consumption OF the
precious metal in this maner has been
about $500, 600 a year. This would
make about $4,000 900 worth Of gold
which has been put into teeth since
1894. For this amount could be built
three of the best baltleships in the
world. the presidents salary could be
paid for thirty years. every voter who
goes TO the polls this year could be

The Remedy Used by Mr.. Schroeppel and
by Captain l-Alfour in Great Demand in
Vicinity Of Their Homes. &
In the winter of .90o-3 Mr. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
,neut proved unsuccessful. but he subse-
guently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
After FIVE or six weeks Of helpless,
ness and pain, said he, during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt AS bad rs ever. Just then
my mother, a woman eighty years Of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation Itgave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in its place."
"And were you cured as the result Of
taking her advice?"
"Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be.
fore the second box was finished felt
very manifest improvement, aud within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tnued to use the pills, however, untili
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that I felt that every vess
tige of the disease had been eradicatsd.
care there no traces left?"
"Absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result L and my family freely
praise Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.
Within the bounds of China township.
St. Clair county, Mich. there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
ScEroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap.
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel g case.
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for all attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
tree from the painful ailment.''
It is little wonder that DR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the com.
munity where Mr. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well aud favorabif
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia. sciatica aud partial paralysis.
