GUTTENBURO, ROSENBAUM A CO. Towanda, September 30, 1857. I>K- J -MTSTOSH, DENTIST, thanks the community for thege- I)eroU a treatment he has received for the past eight years, and promises to exert himself in future as he lias never done before to deserve their confidence. Hereafter no work will leave his hands that will not compare favorably with the best style of city dentistry. In connection with thanks, lie begs to say, that the im mediate payment of plate work will be a necessity. A good fit is a most dimwit object to le attained without having paid for the plate. It is true that a poor fit can be had whether paid for or not, but the responsibility is not in the least impaired with him, if the work is paid for perhaps the opposite. It is mightily offensive to be sus pected of a deliberate attempt to gouge. He will under take to do nothing beyond his skill to accomplish. Per sons who do not wish to employ him until they find the plate is •' going to do," are imformed that he does net de sire to be .o employed. He can point to as lafge a num ber of good fits as any dentist can of equal business ; and —if he does say it—to a great many more artistically ar ranged cases. If what he has done, cannot be taken as a sufficient guarantee, the choice of another dentist will never be a subject of complaint by him. Towanda. September I s , 1857. To All Concerned.
