What The X-Ray Sees Beneath The Gums.
LIKE MAGIC EYES IT SEES
 BENEATH THE GUMS

The X-Ray! when applied in dentistry, Is used for seeking the true cause of in- fected teeth. Many times examinations of this character have brought to light strangest of conditions, practically un- thought of. The vari-colored patches on the film picture made from the X-Ray negative are simple for the trained den- tist to read. He knows in a glance just what needs remedying and sets about his task, knowing the easiest and right way. In short-the X-Ray is the only correct method to locate the conditions of the shows the easiest way to go about the work.
