CORNER BOULCOTT AND . WILLIS « streets;

/ In dentistry, America- holds the premier position, and any' dentist ambitious of doing justice to his profession is under the obligation to his patrons of. introducing all the latest and most effective improvements. in his -art, by. which the ' : United States" have, achieved.'" their '' superiority in this branch of surgery. •Having taken,over Mr. Sidney Hall'spractico (corner ■ Boulcott and 'Willis Streets), Itt.' de. Lautour is- fitting . out ' above . parlors, and "is taking.,;every pre- . caution for the vcaro and comfort of our patients by sparing no expense -in introducing every. known modern and approved appliance. . . Having extensivi in hand, we have •to close .till Monday, .. 23rd inst., on and after which.; date we shall be pleased to ,see patients.' PAINLESS FILLING AND -CROWNING. : Our electric appliances ■. give us many ways of • remedying 'the various causes of tooth Sensibility, and make v filling andcrowning (absolutely painless- SO times '■ in ■ 100.' Thero are exceptions to all rules, but . absence of pain is the RULE in bur offices. DENTISTRY.IMPROVED.. By making our operations painless wo improve our dentistry. ; When • patients' are hurt they cannot sit' still,: and; unintentionally .make- good work impbssibie; for ■ a dentist cannot fine operations • unless his -patient is quiet. Our patients are quiet because they are not'hurt.'":, SPECIALISATION. V , Theje is another and. important reason, however, for the excellence. of ; our work. It is because our .'operators,'and not only our operators, but our mechanics, aro specialists: each does,one thing and one only. Dentistry is a 'science of:distinct branches\ A man may be ever so skilful in one branch, yet utterly incompetent in ' others.. , . prices: , • You can see-, that specialisation ; makes dental work better.- Now,' does, it makeit more expensive? "No; .it makes it cheaper. Much, doing of: aparticular.: thing enables a man, to do. that particular ; thing in little time. ' Time is .money, ; • especially in a -'dental office, and to Kite time is to save money. Specialisation does this. It is clear, therefore, that a dentist who can afford a specialist for- each j branch can accomplish ■ two importantresults' -. ■ - , v EXCELLENCE .OF WORKMANSHIP. | ' ECONOMY . IN-COST.

CROWN AND-BRIDGE , WORK. v . , \ This-work ; requires the special -skill of a- jeweller, ■ and- differs greatly from:tliat in other branches of the profession. We have a man in our laboratory who'makes-' a speciality of this work, and who has had years of experience in it. The cost depends on the amount of gold used.; It can be dono as '. cheaply as JSI Is. pettooth, but we do riot jecom'me'nd this, the gold being too., thin.-- -We make , tho kind usually considered good.Nmough at 30s.
