Talks on Teeth
By DR.. Murphy
The Value of
Beautiful
Teeth

The value of teeth-good teeth,
white, dazzling teeth-is not to be
measured in dollars and cents
Beautiful teeth are the biggest and
best assets that men and women can
possess, for they not only attract at
Sentfon, but they beautify a face
that might otherwise be hopelessly
plain without such help.
Then, too, beautiful teeth keep the
body in good repair, for it follows
that beautiful teeth must be good
teeth and that they will be perfect
aids to the proper mastication of the
food.
All Of this you will admit, but
what of the man or woman who has
lost teeth through pyorrhea or poor
dentistry and is wearing a partial
plate? Why, our teeth for them
We supply toothless people with
beautiful white teeth that look and
act like they grew in the jaws with
out plates.
There is no surgery, no opera
ton, nothing painful about the work
from start to finish and when the
teeth are in they are in for keeps
AS one man said after wearing his
teeth: "They are as solid as though
they had grown there"
Another wearer, lady. said:
unless my attention is directed
to them (teeth supplied by DR.. Muir
ply without plates), never am con-
scious that 1 have artificial teeth in
my mouth"
If you wear a partial plate and
are tired of it, there is immediate
emancipation for you provided you
have two or more teeth left in either
jaw. With these to work from we
supply all that are missing.
If you will call, I shall make an
examination of your mouth free of
any charge or obligation

Its message of the brotherhood of
