Peck, Dr. A. L., dentist. Dr. Peck was born in Wisconsin in 1854, and when eleven year of age with his parents, came to Iowa. He received his education in the common high schools in the place in which he resided. Having a preference for dentistry he decided to make that his life's profession. He therefore entered the office of a prominent dentist, where he spent considerable time in study and getting a knowledge of the practical part of his chosen avocation. He afterward went to Iowa City, where he took a course of lectures. Seven years ago he opened an office in Spencer, and has pursued his profession here and in adjoining towns from that date to this. He makes all kinds of gold and rubber plates, also a full or partial set of teeth without plates, in dental parlance called "Bridge Work." He uses either gold or porcelain for crowning roots. Teeth filled and saved after the most improved methods. He makes a specialty of extracting teeth without pain, and without the use of gas or cocaine. He warrants all of his work to be first class in every particular.
