N|N0T DENTAL OFFICE
ADMIRABLY EQUIPPED
DR.. c. F. Sweet Who Specializes in
Extraction and X-Ray Work Has
Equipment Second to None
in the West

The fact that Minot is rapidly get
ting into the class of other important
metropolitan cities, is evidenced by
the improvements made and equip
ment installed by DR.. C. F. Sweet, one
of the most efficient and best known
dentists of North Dakota. DR.. Sweet,
who specializes on X-ray work, ex-
tracing and the Strengthening of chill
dren's teeth, has equipped suite of
rooms in the Robbins block, South
Main street, at an expense Of a good
many thousand dollars. The doctor
was q little skeptical as to whether
the returns would be commensurate
with the outlay, but he has proven
during the few months that his es-
pecially equipped place has been open
ed, that there is . good field for the
practice which he has undertaken.
The doctor has two main work
rooms and while he is treating one
patient, his assistants may be prepar-
Ing another Tor his attention. The
rooms are all done in pure white
ensmel. No operating room in any
hospital could possibly be more san
itary. Everywhere there is ten
dency to guard against the ever pre-
valent germ. All tools are kept un-
der roll tops. There are the cab
inets for the water glasses which are
sterilized before being used. All in
struments are cleansed in a sterilizer
electrically heated. Ordinary dis
titled water is supposed to be pure, yet
the doctor has still where he re-dis-
tills the distilled water and it is sur
prising what large amount of sedi-
ment is taken out. One may buy
distilled water, yet within twenty
four hours, spores may be found in it.
The doctor is not satisfied with using
merely distilled and re-distilled water
Before he uses it, it must be boiled
It would not surprise us at all to see
sign on the doctors door, reading
something like this: 'Dr. Sweet
D. T. G. death to Germs.)

having gas apparatus in each oper
ating room. Gas is piped under thu
floor from large concealed gas tanks
There is compressed air for the ato

the largest X-ray machines in tn
west, equipped with electrical timer
for taking the pictures. He has
