The
Best
BY EDWIN J. BROWN. D. D. S.
Seattle's Leading Dentist.

The great advantage which bridgework has
over partial plates and the So-called
Alvcolar imitation bridgework OF fifty years
ago, is that it is as clean as the natural teeth
and as servceablc and. if properly made
bridgcwork is sei-cleansing and the most
durable. painless and beautiful OF any work
known to dentistry.
The large amount OF bridgework made at
my offices requires and affords specialists to
do the. work This makes it possible for me
to guarantee the best for very low price.
My offer is for you to go to any dentist
and have your teeth examined and learn
what it will cost then call at my offices for
examination and consultation without cost,
see samples of my work and be advised what
ought to be done. how ii ought to be done,
and what it will cost
