Dentistry Revolutionized
By the Wonderful New
Alveolar Method


cures pyorreha and other gum diseases
heretofore thought incurable.
Three years ago--before n clinic
comprising the most eminent men IN
the profession--a demonstration OF a
most remarkable new invention that
has alreday revolutioniezd a certain
procedure in dentistry, was given
with complete success
Dentists admitted then that they
would have to abandon many of their
pet methods for the invention--discov
cry OF the Rex Dental company, whom
are not only dentists. but graduate
physicians rs well.
No dentist, no doctor could have
solved this epochmeking problem, but
II took combination of both. and the
doctors OF this company were ofrtunate
In having studied in both fields
Europe is very alert TO the advance
ment of dentistry. which is still more
or less in its infancy over there, and
owes whatever progress It has made to
American ingenuity, for Americans are
the leading dentists OF Europe
The governments OF many countries
have granted us special privileges, be-
cause they recognized the idea as a
decided and original step for the adj
vancement of the dental profession
Leading Dentists Approve It.
The Rex Dental company invention
is radical and most remarkable one,
and yetso simple that the wonder Is
that some one has not thought OF it
before.
The first statement that can be made
for it-and that in itself is remark
able enough--is that 1t does away en-
tirely with bridge work, which. as is
generally known is the method unlver-
sally used today as n substitute for
rubber plates.
This is done by fastening the arti-
ficial teeth to a good tooth on either
side,
Az all who ave tried IT, konw. It is
very. very painful procedure, so much
so that but few among the many who
would like TO have their teeth saved
can summon the courage to do so by
the bridge work method
The Rex Dental company invention,
as has been said, does away with
bridge work entirely. But aside from
the torture of having bridge work done
II was a very unsatisfactory process
to the dentists, as complaints from
patients was constant
This was seldom the fault Of the
dentist, for he knew all along that
bridge work was a temporary expedi-
ent, but there was no substitute, as
nothing better had yet been found.
and rather than lose the patient, each
dentist, OF course, performed the oper-
alton.
The worst feature OF bridge work
Is that in the course of some months
hn-
come suppurated or infiamed the
teeth come out, and the mouth Is I'm
worse shape than before
The invention OF the Rex Dental
company VIII also do away with the
wearing of false teeth on plate.
Not every mouth Is so constructed
that 1t can hold a plate, and when II
Is considered that plates become foul
from the Judgment of food, that they
fere with clear enunciation. that they
are easily detected, that they are liable
to fall out under excitement or dur
ing sleep that they infiarne and weaken
the gums, and that they are menace
and Disagreement at all times, It is
small wonder that the leading dem
fists of the country have hailed the
new invention as the redeemer OF a
profession that has been at stand
still for progress.
BY the Rex Dental company's system
no one need wear plate of false
teeth
Clinical Demonstration Successful.
IT is no less valuable In the case OF
falling teeth.
Many persons are afflicted with the

their sockets until, In some instances,
there is not a tooth left in the mouth
By the old method the remaining
teeth were pulled and the unfortunate
one was compelled to wear n plate Of

tai companys method. the teeth that
remain can be made as sound as they
were in youth and by wonderful dex-
