Be CAREFUL Of
YOUR Teeth NOW
For Artificial Ones Have
Risen in Price Since War
Broke
PLATINUM ADVANCE
SAID TO BE CAUSE

False teeth have also gone up War
conditions have made il difficult
enough to purchase food, but when
We do get something to eat, it seems
cruel that we must pay something
extra to masticate II.
The rise in price of platinum is the
cause of the advance in false teeth.
AS everybody knows. platinum is the
most expensive metal in the world,
costing three times as much as gold.
Even slight advance in price is felt
Immediately by users of that metal.
Platinum is used in attaching
teeth to rubber plates for a full set
of teeth, and is also used IN bridge
work. It is preferred by all the best
workmon because Of its resistance to
the great heat during the welding pro-
cess. 1t also resists the corroding in
tluence of the acids in food, and thus
gives an enduring value to work OF
which it is a part.
Although the amount of platinum
used in false teeth is not large, the
extreme cost Of the metal adds much
to the making of a set. II was stated
yesterday at the dental depots that il
the European war continues It may
be impossible to get any platinum al
all later on, and a substitute viii
have 10 be found. Dentists of this city
have been advised by the depots tC
lay TO an extra stock of platinum al
once.
Mercury has also gone up in price
TO the extent OF 100 per cent. This Is
used by dentists TO make amalgami
for silver filings. If mercury con
tinues 70 advance a gold filling viii
soon be cheaper than silver filling
This may be good news for those whit
are fond Of displaying q mouthful o
gold
Worst Of ALL narcotics used b,
dentists TO relieve pain have no
only gone up in price, but will sool
be impossible to find on the market
These drugs, like so many Others
come from Germany, and there is n
means at present OF obtaining any.
Unless some substitute is found b.
inventive Americans for the narcotic
used by a dentist. an operation in tn
future will revert to primitive AM
painful methods. Nobody eXactl
yearns to have a tooth nerve eXtracte
