Eats Cora 0 « the Cob. •*1 can bite sn apple as well as I could when a child, and I *"»n e**..cor,I| off the cob as well as any person alive, said a lady sixty-eight years old and a customer of Wise Brothers, the famous dentists, oi Portland, Oregon. She had been fitted with full sets oi upper and lower teeth by W is® Broth ers, and was perlectly astonished to find that she is now as well supplied with teeth that she can use as she was when a litle girl. Wise Brothers have revolutionized modern dental methods. There is no more pain to be feared by people who have their teeth attended to, and the cost is very moderate. They make a great specialty of crown and bridge work, and even when it is necessary to take out all of the old teeth and put in full new sets, the result is simply wonderful. The false teeth, of course, cannot be told from natural ones, and the person using them can do everything he, or she, could do with natural teeth. The sets of teeth are niHde to fit the gums so perfectly that there is no slipping, and the strength of the possible bite is just like that of a natural healthy set of teeth. The experinece of the lady customer here related can be yours if your teeth need attention. No one can afford to postpone liavirg their teeth DUt in or der. No one need suffer a single day longer becanse they have lost the use of their own teeth. We hope our readers will carefully watch the advertisements of Wise Brothers in this newspaper, and be persuaded to consult this splen did dental institution. PILLING DOWN A RAILROAD.
