You Feel No Pain From Most Severe Denial Operations Yet You Are Wide Awake and in Full Possession
 of Your Faculties That's What Analgesia In duced By Nitrous Oxid
 and Oxygen Has Done for Dentistry

A man of great wisdom once spoke as follows: Let any dentist eliminate
 pain from his operations and the pub
 lie will descend on him in droves.
 This is very true because the fear of
 pain has. caused people of all classes
 to idly permit their teeth to go to
 ruin with full knowledge of the fact
 that both their health and coneliness
 would likewise be affected
 There was a time when such fear
 was we'll grounded but every year has
 witnessed some practical invention in
 the dental profession to lessen the
 pain which accompanies operations on
 the teeth. The crowning discovery of
 this kind and that which for the first
 time in history has really made a
 positively painless dentistry, is the
 stage of ANALGESIAr induced in the
 patient by the administration of NITROUS OxID AND OXYGEN.
 This new method is not anesthesia
 and does not cause the patient to
 sleep nor does it rob him of single |
 standing. He knows absolutely what is going on around him, he can talk, hear and make use of every muscle of his body. THERE IS BUT ONE THING HE CANNOT DC-HE CAN NOT FEEL PAIN.
 When in the stage of ANALGESIA. the patient acquires a restful mood, knows absolutely no pain and can undergo the most severe dental oper- ation with a contentment akin to pleasure. In fact ANALGEsIA IS A
 DELIGHTFUL STAGE pressing on the patient happy, carefree mood l to which there is no i'll effect during | the condition or afterward.
 Where a patients physical condi- 1 ton Sorbids the use of an anesthetic. | the administration of NITROUS l OxID AND OXYGEN to the extent l of ANALGESIA is not only perfectly harmless but positively efficient. 1 With people of neurasthenic tend
 encies. heart-disease. kidney trouble or Bright's, where the administration 1 of GAS, CHLOROFORM OR ETHER MIGHT RESULT MOST SERIOUSLY
 the state of ANALGESIA induced by l NITROUS OxID AND OXYGEN IS 1 ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. In fact ! the oxygen utilized in connection with i the nitrous oxid is the greatest | known restoration to weakened pF1y- sica1 condition and it's use has fre- l quently been the cause of prolonging | life for days in cases of mortal ill., 1 ness.
 1 In keeping with the modern meth ods that have always been employed | by the Porcelain Dentists of this city, pr. weidlich, the proprietor has in- | troduced in connection with his up- ! to-date dental offices, the use of 1 NITROUS OXID AND OXYGEN. | Henceforth at these offices, Citizens Building, teeth will be extracted, nerves killed, filling. crowns and bridgework inserted and all sorts of | surgical operations performed with out the slightest pain or discomfort l while the patient is in the harmless l and really delightful stage of AN l IAI<GESIA.-Adv.
