A Daily Necessity ' v that maay people overlook, 1b the need of a fall set of teeth. The loss of a finger does not Injure the rest of the body; not so with a tooth. The loss of one or several teeth, affects mastication—digestion. It Is very .frequent to find that TEETH THAT ARE MOST NEEDED are those that are easiest to be neglected. One reason you will enjoy to have me give your neglected teeth the attention they need—new patients assist to send their friends to me. Come in and we will have a little talk on teeth. DR. HORTON
