Up-to-Date Dentistry.

Ask your neighbor about the dental
work she has done at the Baltimore
Dental Association. Ask her what she
thinks of the $500 set of teeth we made
for her. She will tell you that they
are the best that can be produced by
any dentist. Then turn and ask your
other neighbor about the $500 gold
crown we made for her, and the reply
will be the same. You can't turn
around without meeting some one who
is our patient. Any one will tell you
how much they like our modern up-to-
methods.
