Dentistry.

As we intend to make a life-time profession of Dentistry, we propose to make honesty and uprightness our motto. Though we have placed confidence in unskilfull operators, and have had our teeth ruined, does not prove the impossibility of restoring and retaining them for years, if more knowledge and skill be exercised by the dentist. To successfully fill a tooth, it must first be restored to a normal condition, after which the cavity must be shaped as to render a filling, properly inserted, impossible to loosen and give way, when the tooth is normal, the cavity properly shaped, and the gold, or silver, so manipulated as to adhere to each wall of the cavity, and thus hermetically seal it,all is well, and we can warrant success. A slight deviation from this, renders our work worthless, and the teeth less valuable than before they were filled. As we think we possess the ability to surmount all dental operations that may come under our observations, in a workman-like manner, we solicit the patronage of all wishing such work done. We are willing-to have our work compared with that of other dentist in the State, and if not equally as well constructed, we ask no pay. Teeth inserted from a single tooth to an entire sei, at prices to suit the times. All work warranted, satisfaction guaranteed, or no pay. Office over lines & Meyer’s
