Wont for a filling two years ago to a dentist friend of mine. Patient in waiting room wont in ahead of me, came out and I took his place. . Doo dug an instrument out of a pile on his little table, and prospected in my mouth, saying: "That lad ahead of you lias an awful case of pyorrhea. J ' "Hope I never got it, ' ' opined 1. Friend dentist said: " Xo chance your mouth is healthy." Got mv tooth filled and rambled' off, rejoicing. re-joicing. Chapter Two. I left, that town. Shortly my stomach stom-ach began to buck, lost flesh, and was sick all the time. Completely lost my ' ' pep, ' ' confidence and interest in anvthing! I was about as useful to myself and others as a snowball in Mexico didn't care if I lived any longer than it, either. I had pyorrhea! Here's how T got it: Dentist used proho in mouth of pyorrhea patient, ahead of me. Xever sterilized it; used same probe on me: germs were transmitted to my mouth in a' second, and I acquired hugo chunks of trouble! Easy to do. isn t it? Done everv day, too, right here now. Cost me"$lrt0"to get cured. Chapter Throe. j Needed bridge work darn those j teeth and went to the Union Dental Company. Kvervthing was neat as a pin, la.Jv attendants and everything J real nifty! Dr. Wetniore, yes, that's his name, went to a little steel box i on the " wall, grabbed a probe and j cloesd the door quickly. Srnelled for- i maldehyde, and wondered if I was go-insc go-insc to got sterilized. Found I was j 1 safe, though. Dentist used the probe, dropped it in a little white enamel tray held by a winsome miss in white, and she hit the high spots j getting it over to a plate glass xroom, marked ' ' Sterilizing ! Koom,'' with a grad-i grad-i uato nurse in charge, i Nosy me got up and I watched proceedings. I Miss Nurse grabbed i the instrument with a pair of steel tweezers, tweez-ers, boiled it thoroughly thor-oughly in a patent sterilizer and put it back in the littie white tray. The "Young Lady Line'5 went into high speed and deposited the probe in the little white box. Dr. Wet-more Wet-more said: "That's double sterilization-boiled sterilization-boiled first, in for- ' .; r if w T; i- - : .';u::.-.';..:! ond. Xo chance tn transmit germs bv infected instruments that way." And it's the only process of its kind, with a graduate nurse in charge, in Utah. Some class, thought I. Chapter Four. Friend Wetmoro took an impression of my mouth; came up again in a day or so, and he put the bridge into place. Fitted beautiiiilly and was strong. Showed me the jiold it was made out of, anil it was the strongest used. Cost me $15 two gold teeth and bridge tooth. That's naif what private practitioners prac-titioners wanted for the same work and I material, and I chew anything on it besides, it's guaranteed. Their prices are right workmanship finest ever materials the best in the market, and you're safe with that double sterilization steril-ization business. Told them of my trouble, and thnt 1 was a newspaper man. Thev asked me to tell you about it.
