The cotintrv around American Lake Is
particularly adapted to the work of

t large enough to rurnlsh battle-ground
for an army of much larger proportions
than will be massed at this time. These
prairies are separated by large bodies of
dense timber and underbrush that will
be useful as a shield to hide the move

other and thereby make more effectual
the surprise of a flank movement by
either division when the final struggle

METHODS IN PORTLAND
The M. D.s have been discussing oxaluria, to the
edification of the general public. One of their number
received some free advertising, which caused what
seems to a man in a tree some jealousy amongst his
brethren.
We buy space to tell the public that they can have
their teeth extracted and other work performed in the most satisfactory manner
without causing pain, and there may be a tinge of jealousy shown by some dentists.
We supply teeth without plates that look as well and chew your food as well as
the natural teeth. All of our work is of "the highest order of skill, and our prices
extremely moderate.
