This treatments that prevent pain and dentists has the undisputed reputa­ tion o f being among the ablest den­ tists o f the state, and to have a man of his knowledge and skill in the community is indeed fortunate. The doctor is a graduate of some o f the naton’s most reputable col­ leges, and is well recommended to the practice o f dentistry, hi» offices are equipped with the latest con­ veniences that science provides, and let u» state that all instruments used are thoroughly sterilized and that his operations are carried on in a sanitary and most pleasant manner. It has been a general habit o f the people o f the world today to neglect the care o f their teeth, some from pure negligence and some from fear o f pain that on account o f the inef­ ficiency o f the dentist a decade ago has given the people such a fear of the dentist’s chair. But that fear heal the gums. This doctor is highly recommended for these treatments, fo r the making o f plates, treatment o f cavities and nerves and is a spec­ ialist upon all diseases o f the teeth. You should seek his advice. Now, fo r the benefit o f our read­ ers, if you are neglecting that tooth because o f your dread o f the den- list’s chair, think that if you let it go it will slowly but surely become worse, and if you have it done now you will save much time and ex­ pense, as it will require shorter time to complete the treatment. Dentistry is a worhy branch o f the healing profession, and for skill and ability we are glad to recom­ mend this dentist. Appointments may be made by calling at the o f­ fice or by phone. A boost for a man o f this doctor’s standing is to better the health o f the communiy. Sable Motor Car Co.
