Dentist's Bills

"Being a good dentist evidently is no longer the thing. The man who commercializes dentistry is the successful businessman."

A young dentist, Dr. Arthur Woolsey, of Elizabeth, N. J., in despair, wrote that on his own stationery last week. And he wrote this: "I have everything mortgaged to the limit and not a thing of my own except that which is due me at the office. If that had come in when it was due this could have been avoided. My only message to the dentists with whom I have worked is to work for cash only; credit will only bring trouble."

Drooping over the paper he wrote too: "I am most heartbroken over the necessity, but with no more resources it is better this way. . . . My family is upstairs, quiet. . . ."

They, his wife and two children, were quiet, because just before writing his hopeless testament he had murdered them.
