fy you on this point, we feel sure.
We have been so successful in treat
ing thousands of patients palnlessly
that we have not the slightest hesita-
ton in saying that we can do the
same for you.
More than that-we have great
many testimonials from delighted pa
tients, both men and women, who
live in Seattle and vicinity, who tell
over their own signatures just what
their experience has been at this
office. We will be pleased to show
YOU these testimonials if you are in
terested or if there is any doubt in
your mind that we can do as we say
we can regarding painless dentistry.
We offer you the benefits Of gen.
uine "Novocain." This is indeed
remarkable statement TO be able to
make at this time, because genuine
"Novocain" has become so scarce as
to be unobtainable in most instances.
However we laid in a considerable
part of the available supply soon
after war started (Novocain is an
imported article, and the war has
practically stopped its importation
altogether), and so we are still able
to offer the incompatible benefits of
the genuine article to our patients.
This is just one of many convincing
reasons why you will find it dis
tinctly TO your advantage to come to
this office for your dental work.
Every operator in this office is

in plain sight of all.
This is the best proof in the world
that your work will be done right by
an expert who knows his business
thoroughly, when you come to the
Regal Dental Offices.
We invite you to call right away.
Your teeth are really matter of the
first importance. If you have some
that need attention, you ought not
in justice to yourself to delay it
minute longer than you can possibly
help.
Come in-our expert dentists Wit
give you thorough examination
free and tell you just what it will
cost to put your mouth into perfect
condition.
Under our low cost system you
will undoubtedly be surprised To-
find how small our price is. One
thing, however, cannot be disputed
whatever IT may cost you to have
this work done, it will be worth a
great deal more to you than the cost.
But take our advice and come in
right away.
