Dear Sir: I have just had a large amount of dental work
completed at your office and feel that I should write you to let
yon know how well I appreciate your services.
The first day I was in your office, I merely came to have my
teeth examined, which you did free of charge. I was treated so
nicely that I returned determined to have my teeth attended to
without further delay. Dr. Wilson extracted several badly ab
scessed teeth without a particle of pain. On my next visit"
Dr. Barrett "made several gold crowns and placed them in the
same satisfactory manner. Later, I had a plate made 'by your
plate specialist that is a splendid piece of workmanship. All of
which demonstrated to me that specialization in dentistry is a
big improvement over the old-style methodj
Best wishes for a prosperous new year.

Dear Doctor: If people who are in doubt as to the efficiency
of your system of painless dentistry, will" take the trouble to
: satisfy themselves as I did by personal experience, they will be
fully convinced as I am. I bad several teeth extracted and a
beautiful ll-tooth bridge put' in my mouth without any pain, as
would have resulted had I gpna to a dentist who used cocaine
and arsenic. - v4
I am pleased to be able to truthfully say to you' that this work
is highly satisfactory in every regard, and will very cheerfully
recommend your methods to anyone needing the services of
a dentist. Very respectfully,

Dear Doctor; Early last Spring I came to your office as a
"doubting Thomas," and decided to have some trial work done. '
I was so well pleased that in all I had teeth extracted, bridge
work placed, nerves removed and fillings and crowns put in my
mouth. It was all done in a remarkably few' calls at your of
fice, in a workmanlike manner and without pain or disagree
able sensations of any kind.
I like your methods, and especially the system that permits
me to have this work looked after in any one of your offices, ,
I wish you all kinds of success, and will surely be an advocate -of
Painless Parker method. Very truly yours,

Dear Doctor: This letter will come to you as a surprise, but
I trust an agreeable one.
On October 28 I called at your office for treatment, not know
ing you in any way other than through your advertisements. I
was very much pleased with. all the work at the time it was-done,
but have waited until this time to see if everything would con
tinue to be satisfactory.
J My work consisted of removing 1G nerves, filling several teeth
olnd having 25 crowns and bridge teeth placed. This work being
done by Dr. Eldredge.

the dentist in Forest Grove. At any rate, I am very much pleased -with
the work and the treatment in your office, and will surely
send my friends to you who may need dental treatment. f
I feel assured to- know that if at any time any of this workl,
