FALSE TEETH WITH RED RUBBER GUMS
 ARE MOST HIDE0US
Wear The Porcelain Contin- uous Gum Plates And The Expert Can't
 Detect Them.

Porcelain Continuous Gum Plates are as far ahead of the artificial teeth with rubber, gums and plate as the electric light Is in advance of the can dle for illuminating purposes. Any one who has worn false teeth fully appreciates how absolutely unnatural and easily detectable red. tiaring rub Der is as substitute for the real gums. People who wear teeth on plates or anticipate wearing them will do we'll to acquaint themselves with the exceptional advantages of Porce- lain gum plates.
 For 35 years Porcelain plates have been extensvely ordered by people who could afford them. Until recently they were very expensive, but since the remarka ble invention of the high fusng dental furnaces used solely In the practice of Porcelain Dentistry the cost of these perfectly natural continuous gum plates has been re- duced to a. minimum, in fact they are less expensive than the ordinary hid eous rubber gum artificial teeth.
 Now if you are a wearer of false teeth this question is confronting you. Will you wear a set of artificial teeth that even a child can detect the first time you speak or smile, or will you wear Porcelain Continuous Gum Plates. the pinnacle of dental perfec- ton. that undetectaTo1y initiates ma lures heaIthful colors and even to it's little imperfections? Those remark able Porcelain plates absolutely defy detection, frequently deceiving even the dentist with his little mouth mir TOT.
 Another very common and dis agreeable feature with the wearing of the old style rubber plate is that 1t infiames the fine tissues and mucous membrane of the mouth, making the other portions of the mouth with which the plates come in contact, ten der and sore so that it is almost inn possible at times to bear the pain that is caused by the pressure against the inhamed parts required in the act of rnasttcauon. Anyone who wears ar tifciaI teeth should not take chances with anything but a Porcelain Con- tinuous Gum Plate.
 Remember that aside from the heaIthfuI condition provided by the Porcelain Plates the wearer Is pro- yided with an attractive mouth-arti- hcial teeth that are absolutely non detectabIe They must be seen to be appreciated and pr.
