Dentistry has too many branches and too many details for one man to do it well alone in a small office. There is extracting, filling, treating, artificial plate-making, crown and bridge work, examinations, receiving patients, bookkeeping, collecting, record-keeping, buying supplie: ay- ing bills, and many. other business | details to be looked after.

Each has some particular kind of work to do, and thus | becomes expert at it, doing it.better and in less time. Advertisements are put in the papers telling what good dental work is done by this modern System, and many patients come in and have their teeth cared for. In this way better dentistry is given for less money, because where the practice is large, the price can be made smaller. This way of practicing dentistry is the modern way and the best way You are invited to call and sce what an improvement has been made in dental work under the E. R. Parker System.
