F. J. Mawson,

DENTIST

THERE was never yet philosopher or Spartan warrior Who for any length of time could ber the pangs of toothache quietly. At such times our whole life seems clouded by the intense anguish of the nerves-there is no health in the world and DO happiness. A man at such times wilt promise anything so that he may obtain relief Toothache was the same in Shakes* peare'B lime as to-day, with the difference, h<ftr» ever, that to-day we have the benefit of long years and centuries of experience and expexi* went, and are blessed with simpler methods of eiidiug our sufferings A decaying tooth can be filled and made almost. as good as it was originally, or toothache can be stopped in a simple, expeditious, and (with the aid of anmstheticB) painless manner by resorting to a competent dentist to have the offender removed.

The re'ief not to be obtained by a king two hundred years ago is now possible to a peasant.
