The Safest Investment
Aside from their beauty, there
is no better way to save than by
buying diamonds. The purchase
of one cannot be considered any
thing but an absolutely safe in
'vestment. Savings put- in an investment
that is increasing yearly, that
has been -paying a higher rate of
interest than savings in banks,
and is convertible into cash any
where in the world, is worth
" careful consideration.
The time when diamonds were
considered luxuries and none
but the extravagantly rich could
afford -them has given place to
the use of diamonds by all
classes, both as ornaments and
for investment;
The reason for this change is
that for many years diamonds
have steadily advanced in price
and are sure to continue to do
so for years to come therefore
invest in diamonds.

Dentistry Revolutionized
. by the Wonderful New
Alveolar Method
Does away entirelv with bridge work
and plate wort leaves falling teeth,
cures pyorrhea and other gum diseases
heretorofe thought Incurable.
Eight years ago before a clinic com
prising the most eminent men in the
profession a demonstration of a most
remarkable new Invention that has al
ready revolutionized a certain proced
ure In dentistry was given with .com-
lCQ SUCC6S9
Dentists admitted then that they
would have to abandon many of their
pet methods for the invention discov
ery of the Alveolar company, who are
not only dentists, but graduate physi
cians as well.
No dentist, no doctor, could have
solved this epoch-making problem, but
it took a combination of both, and the
doctors of this company were fortunate
In having studied in both fields.
Kurope Is very alert to the advance
ment of dentistry, which is still more
o-.- less In its iniancyover mere, ana
owes whatever progress It has made
to American Ingenuity, for Americans
are the leaaing demists oi juurope.
The srovernments of manv countries
have srranted us special privileges, be
cause they reeognized the idea? as a
cecided and original step ior ine ad
vancement oi tne denial proiession.
LEADING DENTISTS APPROVE IT.
The Alveolar Dental Company Inven
tion is a radical and most remarkable
one, and yet so simple that the wonder
Is that someone had not thought of It
before.
The first statement that can be made
for It and that in Itself Is remarkable
enough is that It does away entirely
with brldgework. which, as is gener
ally known, is the method universally
used today -as a suostuuie ior ruuuer
plates.
'ms is none dv iastemn? ine arti
ficial teeth to a good tooth on either
side.
As all who have tried it know. It is a
verv, very painful procedure, so mucn
so that but few among the many who
would like to have their teeth saved
can summon the courage to do so Dy
the brldgework method.
The Alveolar ueniai tompany invent
tlon, as has been said, does away with
brldgework entirely. But aside from
the torture of having brldgework done,
it was a very unsatisfactory process to
the dentist, as complaints from patients
were constant.
This was seldom the fault of the den
tist, for he knew all along that bridge
work was a temporary expedient, but
there was no substitute, as nothing bet
ter had yet ben found, and rather than
lose the patient, each dentist, of course,
performed the operation.
The worst .feature of brldgework Is
that In the course of some months the
fastenings give way, the gums become
suppurated or inflamed, the teeth come
out and the mouth Is in worse shape
than before.
The Invention of the Alveolar-Dental
Company will also do away wlh the
wearing of false teeth on a plate.
Not every mouth is so constructed
that It can hold a plate, and when it
Is considered that plates become foul
from the lodgment of food; that they
make the breath bad; that they inter
fere with clear enunciation and mask
the .taste; that they are liable to fall
out under excitement or during sleep;
that they Inflame and weaken the gums
and that they are a menace and dis
figurement at all times. It Is small won
der that the leading dentists of the
country have hailed the new Invention
as the redeemer of a profession that
has been at a standstill for progress.
By the Alveolar Dental Company's
Alveolar system no one need wear a
plate or false teeth.
CURING PYORRHEA.
Very few dentists undertake to cure
the dreaded pyorrhea (Riggs disease of
the gums). Various theories have been
advanced by clever nn in the profes
sion as to the cause of this dis
ease, and the theories do not all co
incide, but In nearly every case they
are a unit In saying that there Is no
cure for pyorrhea once it obtains hold
In the Jaw. Those who have tried to
cure the disease have subjected the pa
tient to such torture that the cure In
most cases has been worse than the dis
ease, and In only a few cases could It
be called & cure, even after all the bor- j
Ing and digging down into the gums to
get at the roots of the teeth. .
A few years ago, when we announced
that we had discovered a cure for pyor
rhea, we were laughed at discredited-
but we have worked so many cures In
the course of our practice that we can
no longer be laughed out of court. We
must be reckoned with.
In our discovery of the Alveolar pro
cess of supplying missing teeth with
teeth as solid and natural as those that
nature gave you without the use of a
plate, partial plate or so-called bridge
work, we found that one of the first
problems we must solve was the
"loose-teeth" problem, for we must
have sound teeth to work on in order
to make Alveolar teeth successful. We
discovered, as we have said, a cure
for the Riggs disease, and In so doing
completed our discovery and made It
practical. We have only to refer to
the thousands of satisfied patients who
have been cured In our offices of pyor
rhea to refute the statement made,
even at this late date, that the dis
ease cannot be cured.
We are in every way responsible,
and If we agree to work a cure, you
mav feel perfectly safe in allowing U3
to 'undertake the work. Our guaran-
tee is ample.
ALVEOLAR TEETH WHERE BRIDGE
WORK IS IMPOSSIBLE.
If only your front teeth are left, say
three or four or more, we can replace
all those that have been lost on both
sides clear back with perfect Alveolar
teetb, while brldgework would be Im
possible, even if you had eisiit or ten
front teeth to tie to. If you have only
two back teeth on each side, say mo
lars, we can supply ail the front teeth
that are missing with beautiful, serv
iceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. This
could not possibly be done by tho
bridge route. Suppose you have lost
your last (back) teeth, two or more
upper or lower on either side. We can
replace them with Alveolar teeth. The
bridge specialist would have to advise
a partial plate, which would encum
ber the mouth as well as help destroy
your other teeth. Where you have lost
a. few teeth there are dentists 'who
would extract all the rest to make
room for a plate. (Where people have
no teeth, we make plates, too. And
when we do. they look like they grew
there. They are- scientifically and ar
tistically built for service and com
fort, as well as beauty.) Even where
brldgework is possible, there is no
comparison between the two. A very
large percentage, of our work is taking
out brldgework put in by supposedly
high-class dentists and replacing it
with the beautiful and artistic Alveolar
teeth. And, unlike brldgework in an
other respect, it Is practically pain
less. No boring or cutting Into the
gums nothing to be dreaded. Now
then, prices being equal, which would
you choose? ,
We have samples (counterparts of
actual cases) in our offices to show.
Come and see the work.
We have been established In Oregon

lieve, tell you that it s the best invest
ment they ever made, and 1s entirely :

done anywhere in the world, and our
prices are reasonable.
