The subscriber, in announcing his re-
turn to Houston for the practice of his
profession,'deea so in perfect confidence of
his ability to do first class work, in either
operative or mechanical dentistry. The
preservation of the natural teeth being the
great deaideratim in dental science, I shall
continue as heretofore to make it a specialty;
and past experience in this most important
as well as difficult branch of (he profession,
assures me of success in the future. The
poorest thing upon earth, and the most
ruinously expensive at any price, or no
price, is poor dentistry, for you are de-
ceived into the loss of your teeth, whose
value as adjuncts to health and longevity
cannot be overestimated, and compared
with which artificial teeth are scarcely to
be mentioned.
Teeth cleaned, arranged when deformed,
diseasesrof the mouth treated, artificial
teeth inserted, and all work guaranteed to
be done in the best possible mannfcr.
