The man with one or two teeth left
in either Jaw had no alternative but
platen before the Alveolar Method of
supplying milling teeth without plates
or ordinary bridge work was discov
ered and supplied by us.
He was literally between two fires
wouldn't eat without teeth, couldn't
cat with those "fatee teeth ' he could
buy.
With the Alveolar teeth he can use
exactly as he would If he had natural
teeth.
No plates to destroy the speech.
The Alveolar Method of supplying
missing teeth bears the same relation
to the old fashioned "false teethh"
that the electric llht bears to the tal
low dip as an illumlnant. No com
parison between the two.
The Alveolar Method has revolution
ized the science of dentistry and
brought health and happiness to thou
sands of people who have had thta
work done for them by us.
The method Is one that calls for no
pain or discomfort while the patient la
In the chair.
Don't Imagine you are going to be
"operated upon," or that there is any
cutting Into the gums nothing of that
kind Is connected with it.
We follow nature's plan and set each
tooth In a socket, anchoring the whole
tructure to the two or more teeth
left In the Jaws. How do they stay
there?
That Is the puzzle to some people.
Our patents hinge largely on that
point, BUT THEY DO 8TICK, and you
can use these teeth with perfect satis
faction from the very day they are
put In.
We guarantee results. After making
a careful and painstaking examina
tion and diagnosis of your case, if we
decide we can restore your teeth with
the Alveolar Method we will tell you
so. and then guarantee the work.
Not only that, but we tighten loose
teeth and make them firm and solid In
the gums. We have a positive cure
for the cause of loose teeth and dis
ease of the gums, the dreaded Pyor
rhea. Nearly all dentists agree
Pyorrhea can be cured. We say It can
be cured, and we DO cure It.
You will find all our offices perfectly
equipped to obtain the best results In
all forms of dentistry.
Our operators are of necessity ex
nerts they have to be to perform the
difficult work whlah Is demanded by
the' Alveolar Method therefore you
will be in the best of hands, no mat
ter how simple a piece of work you
may have which needs attention.
It cannot be any too well done
you may as well have the best that Is
obtainable.
Those living at a distance from our
offices are Invited to write for our free
book, "Alveolar Dentistry," which ex
plains the method and is a valuable
treatise on the teeth in general.

Holiday Learns a Little Law.
BROKEN BOW. Neb., Dec. a. (Special.)
A peculiar law suit was tried this week
before County Judge Humpl.rjy, involving
the question whether the stakeholder at a
horse race can turn over the money to the
owner of the horse that wins without get
ting himself into a mixup. A, race was
pulled off at Gandy between Sweet Home,
owned by Sweeney Bros., and King Al-
phonse. owned by Gandy people. King Al-
phonse won the race, but Frank Ward,
who was backing Sweet Home to the tune
of $500, warned ex-Shertff Holiday, who
was stakeholder, not to turn over the
money to the other parties, as Sweet Home
had been fouled. Holiday did not heed the
warning, hence the suit to recover the $500.
After an exciting trial the court found for
the plaintiff and entered Judgment accord
ingly. The findings were based on the
theory that inasmuch as horse racing is In
the category of gambling, all contracts,
etc., connected therewith are illegal, and
consequently non-enforcable.
