    September 1911] THE S.S.WHITE gg DENTAL MFG. CO. NITROUS OXID (Liquefied) The Ideal Anesthetic for the Dentist Nitrous Oxid (N20) is almost universally recognized as the ideal anesthetic for such operations as the dentist is usually called upon to treat anesthetically. A few inhalations induce profound general anesthesia, which lasts long enough to permit of the extraction of from one to a dozen teeth, the recovery is rapid, and the anesthesia may be induced re- peatedly, if necessary, at the same sitting. As to its relative safety, there are numerous offices in the larger cities where extraction is a spe- cialty, which have records showing many thousands of administrations without a single fatality or even an alarming symptom. In the aggregate, millions of exhibitions have been recorded, with so few fatalities that they are commonly looked upon as coincidences of the administration, rather than as having been caused by it. In order to get the best results the gas must be pure. If impure, its action is uncertain, and some impurities may cause serious complications. For the Nitrous Oxid which we supply we claim absolute freedom from injurious admixture or ingredient. We will not knowingly refill cylinders which show any evidence of having contained any deleterious substance until they are freed from the taint. We guarantee every cylinder to contain the full quantity of Gas as stated on the label. Each customer can test this for himself by weighing the cylinder when full, and again when empty. Our rule with regard to leakage is printed on the tag which accompanies each cylinder, and is as follows: Weigh this cylinder as soon as received. If the weight does not agree with that on the label, return the cylinder at once. Otherwise no allowance can be made for shortage. It will thus be seen that we guarantee the cylinder to contain the full quantity of gas charged, not only when 't leaves us, but when it reaches the customer. If the valve is tight while the cylinder is in our posses- sion and during its transit to the customer, it is satisfactory evidence that it is in good condition, and no allowances will be made for subsequent leakage. The valves which we now furnish are the best on the market, and complaints of loss by leakage have been reduced to the minimum. Any practitioner who desires to procure our Gas, and fails to obtain it of his local dealer, may order direct from any of our houses. PRICES SMALL (100 GALLONS) CYLINDER.
