YOU WANT YOUR TEETH FILLED WITHOUT PAIN !?
TEETH WITHOUT PLATES.
MADE ON A SCIENTIFIC PLAN.
The First-Cut represents
a Jaw prepared to receive
DR. DWIGHT'S
GOLD BRIDGE.
The next Cut represents the BRIDGE showing the pins that extend into the roots, and the little ferrule-like band that fits the end of the root, protecting it from the secretions of the mouth.
- The next cut represents the BRIDGE in position, firmly cemented to the
roots.
The price of this work, where it can be worn, is a small matter compar 'd with its great value to one who is obliged to wear a plate. They are as natural in appearance as the natural teeth, as easily cleaned, and can be used for any purpose that a natural tooth will stand. THE PORCELAIN FRONT, GOLD-BACKED TOOTH. as represented in this cut, has NO EQUAL in strength. The porcelain front can be made to match exactly any natural tooth. This is the BEST WORK OFFERED +BY THE DENTAL PROFESSION and gives univer- sal satisfaction. . I shall be pleased to have you call and examine my work, and you will see that my system of BRIDGE AND CROWN WORK is practical :.

T HIS Company loans money, sells mortgages, bonds, debentures. and other securities: 'The area of rich agricultural country in which this Company places its loans is included within a radius of 800 . miles from the solid city of Des Moines, the capital of Iowa. Always accessible by sixteen railroads which center here, enabling the Com- pany to keep a watchful supervision of the securit z all times. It requires no far-seeing financier to understand why loans made .. on real estate located in a region where it is reasonably certain to double in value within the period which the securing mortgage has to run should be altogether preferable to those on property having prac- -tically no prospect of enhanced value. Is not this a point often wholly " overlooked ? - We aim, however, to handle neither mortgages nor debenture bonds that require their purchaser to bank in any wise on -the future prospects or possibilities of the section where their security -is located. Qur loans are in every instance made as though in a lo- cality which had reached its maximum of development, and even. of this class we accept only those the bear the most searching scrutiny. The application for each and every foan is examined and approved by three stockholders in the Company before the loan is made.
-Mortgages for sale by us can be furnished in sums of $500 and upwards, which will always accommodate small investors as well as larger ones. Debentures are offered in denominations of $100 and up wards, to encourage the poor as well as the rich in judicious profit- making.
