THE WONDE RFUL
X-RAY.

The X-ray is one of the most wonderful Of
modern inventions. Its helpfulness to mod
ern surgery is little short of marvellous.
Diseases which were formerly shrouded in
mystery are now, by the aid of this wonder
full invention, an open book to the physician
and surgeon.
Dentistry has advanced wonderfully by the
aid Of the X-ray.
For a long time now dentists and
physicians have recognized the tremendous
danger from Assessed teeth. They have
often proved to be sources of infection which
has permeated and diseased the entire sys-
tenn of the unfortunate victim.
