A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
An Entirely New Anaesthetic For The Pain :
less Extraction Or Teeth

For patients who have Assessed
teeth and don't care to have the needle
used, we advise this new preparation.
1t IS far superior to gas: it has the adj
vantage OF leaving no unpleasant al
ter effect and also causes no suffoca-
ton such as experienced when gas is
administered. 1t can be given with
perfect satisfaction to children as well
as adults.
The New Anacsthctic operates 50
quickly that the patient does not real
izc he is taking it. Two or three
breaths and a peaceful sleep cnSucs
This is but one OF the latest advances
in dentistry adopted by the American
Dental Parlors.
We have a new suction chamber for
holding false teeth tight in position
1t is called the Flexible Rubber Sue
ton. We have been using this suction
chamber for one year. and it has not
failed one time to give perfect salts
faction There will be no dropping OF
plates or rafting Of false teeth il YOU
have a good fit We can correct these
defects il they exist in the plates YOU
now wear. at very small cost to you.
We make a personal study OF every
mouth examined and build plates to
fit.

THE SHELL FISH COMMISSION

T is gratifying to know that the
L work Of the Shell Fish Commits
sion gives promise OF producing
happy results. 1t is estimated that the
revenue from the oyster culture law
will be at least $4,000 per year before
the next meeting Of the legislature. To
be sure this is only estimating, but it
looks like safe estimating, as the bot
toms now used. which come under the
provisions OF the bill, amount to 45.-
600 acres, which will lease at $r.oo per
acre. The Commission began its sur
vcy oi the Bay last week, on the Scv-
ern river, in Anne Arundel county. and

OUR APOLOGY

5 DUE to our good friend. Con-
L gresham Burton, oi Delaware,
Tor our accrediting the Hon. Sid
ncy /. Mudd with securing the Joint
resolution OF Congress on the pro-
posed Ship Canal. From reports that
have reached us this week it seems that
the Delaware Representative deserves
much, ii not the larger share OF credit
ior the happy outcome OF this meas
ure, and we are glad to give that credit.
Congressman Burton is young in lcgis-
Iativc experience, but he is not young
in the management OF affairs or men,
and we can easily imagine how his zeal
in the matter would take no denial.
