Your health de pends mostly on the condition of your teeth. Aside from the pain of toothache, neuralgia, a foul breath and bad appearance, you are incapacitated for any kind of work or business. ^ It is a matter of good or bad business judgement whether you have your teeth attended to by the old slip shod and un sanitary methods, or in an up-to-date scientific manner. Dr. Justice, Dental Specialist. Lady Attenilafit. HOURS: ' 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. IMUIits and Sundays by appointment. Officts O'tier Sirmtlman'j 7>rttg Sfor*.
