It must be evident to you that these poisons are ‘oing to exercise a bad effect on the stomach—that they are going to interfere and interfere seriously with the digestive apparatus. And there is no one thing that can bring as much real misery to a person as to have his digestive organs out of order. Your physician will tell you the same thing if you will talk the matter over with him. Altogether, for a person who has bad teeth, to neglect them and let this condition continue is about the most foolish thing that he can do. Now, just a word as to what we have to offer you in the way of dental service at this office. In the first place, we have one of the largest and best equipped dental offices in the United States. We make this statement unreservedly and without fear PAINLESS METHODS Our system of painless dentistry haa been brought to such a point of perfection at this office that we are now able to guar- antee to perform practically any and all kinds of dental work without hurting the patient a bit. This is a matter of big importance to you, for possibly you are among the many who have put off having the necessary dental work done on account of being afraid of being hurt. If you are, then we tell you that “you need delay no Jonger” on this account. LOWEST PRICES Quantity regulates price. This is a fundamental axiom of business that cannot be denied. ‘Therefore, the fact that we do @ very large volume of business permits us to take a smalier profit on the individual patient than an office which does only onethird to onebalf of the volume that we do can possibly afford to take. So when you compare our prices with others you will find that ours are the lowest, especially considering the fact that we turn out nothing but the tery highest grade of ga BEST OF MATERIALS ‘The beat {s the only kind of material that we can afford to use. We found this out long ago. fected for the better performance of painless den- tistry. We have spared no expense in fitting up our offices. Our only idea has been to give the people of Seattle the very best. Every operator on our staff is a graduate regis- tered dentist. Every ong of them has his certificate from the State Dental foard hanging right on the wall in front of his dental chair, in plain sight of all. This proves to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that he knows his business, and knows it thoroughly. It shows you that he has spent years of hard study under competent instructors, and has then passed a thorough and searching examination before the State Dental Board as to his knowledge and ability to prac- tice dentistry and do it right. When you see this certificate you may rest as- sured that the holder of it is a man of experience and that your work will be done the way it ought to bo dene. to give yeu Setting 400: SUmmnreR sae jon. . OUR GUARANTEE fs a binding agreement on oyr part thet if for any what ever work done at this office does not give you en’ eatisfan tion, come back to us and we will make it right. This guarantee is signed both by the operator who did the work and by L. RL Clark, D.D.8. owner and manager of this office, who fs» thoroughly reliable. SANITATION This ts a hobby wit us. In fitting up our offices we put in all the best appliances for sterilizing instruments. All operators and assistants are garbed in spotless white at all times. 3 FREE EXAMINATION We invite you to call at our office and let one of our experts give your teeth a thorough examination. He will tell you just what is needed to put your teeth into perfect condition and also Just what the cost will be. This examination and estimate won't cost you a cent nor will it put you under any obligations to have work done unless you want it. But for your own sake you ought not to neglect this important COUNCIL WILL ELECT MONDAY Two More Candidates Want Cotterill’s Place _ With the list of candidates grow- ing steadily, the city council will meet Monday to elect a successor to the late Councilman Roland Cotterill, who died at his home Tuesday, after a year's illness, If all of the coun- Amen attend, and with Councilman W.
