POISONED SPRINGS
ARE NOW LOCATED
BY X-RAY PICTURES
*
Now comes a progressive medical
examiner with the novel proposal that
life-insurance companies supplement
the chest tapping and heart listening
that form a large part of the physi
cal test for application for policies
by demanding X-ray pictures of the
teeth! #
This suggestion is not nearly so
far-fetched or overdrawn as it may
at first sight appear. Physicians
know the dangers that lurk in the
minute poison centers that are liable
to exist about the routes of the teeth,
especially dead teeth. They know
that these tiny pestholes are like so
many minute springs that unceasingly
seep liquid poison into an otherwise
wholesome blood stream and cause
rheumatic conditions, kidney troub
les, neuralgia, iritis with subsequent
loss of sight, general debility and an
evil host of other maladies.
> Knowing these things, doctors have
yearly become more and more insis
tent that their patients go to the den
tist and the X-ray man for examina
tions that will assist in arriving at
a positive and clean-cut diagnosis. To
the lay mind the connection between
a bad tooth and a stiff knee is so re
mote and inconceivable that medical
men too often find themselves laugh
ed at and their advice unheeded un
til alarming symptoms have become
apparent.
* Your dentist can tell you whether
or not an X-ray examination is worth
while; and knowing your mouth he
can indicate with considerable preci
sion where localized infection should
be looked for.
The detection and location of these
poison centers by means of the X
. ray is not only certain but simple,
^painless and not very expensive.
Fifteen minutes in the office of the
X-ray man—or Roentgenolist, as some
of them call themselves—should suf
fice. With the results of your visit
in his hands, your dentist will know*
precisely and without guesswork what
ought to be done to rid you promptly
and positively of a hidden menace
,<• to health and life.
The relief that follows expert at
tention to these tiny poison pockets
is often almost spectacular in its
swiftness and completness.—Saturday

| The Help You Want on Washday |
♦v 3 S vl
g While lifting boilers, struggling with tubs and straining over 1 £
j| the scrubboard on washdays, haven’t you*often yearned for j 8
relief—some economical and convenient means of having | £
|i your family washing done ? J J!
8 Our Family Laundry Service will appeal to you if you have. I
It is something different from
the usual laundry service—
and its cost is very moderate.
When our driver brings us
your family bundle, we wash
everything, using from nine to
twelve changes of pure, soft
water and suds of mild white
soap. We dry the clothes
without wringing or flapping
on the line—a spin in our
magic basket and a few min
utes in a gentle breeze of
warm, clean air, does it.
a Then we iron the flat pieces,
| like the bedclothes and table
| linens. Such other pieces as
require it, we starch,
Finally, we wrap them all in
a package and deliver them to
you immaculate—leaving only
a small amount of the ironing
for you to do yourself.
Could anything be simpler?
All of the heaviest and most
unpleasant work of washday
is done by us. Only the light
est duties are left to you.
You will be pleasantly sur
prised, too, at the reasonable
ness of the cost.
But more important still, you
will find immense relief in
having no smelly Mondays to
live tnrough, no irksome labor
over the scrubboard and no
weekly troubles with clothes
lines and soot.
If you will telephone, write or
visit us, we will be glad to tell
you more about this service.
Or better, leave us your ad
dress and we will have our
driver call at once for your
family bundle.
