BEAUTY of Countenance, and roOlarity of Fea tures, are allowed to distinguish the British Fair; but the Proprietor of BUTLER'S TOOTH POWDER would beg leave to remin... his Country-wouten that the lustre of their Charms loses halt its influence where the Teeth are discoloured, or shew a rotten and unhealthy appearance—this is the more inexcusable, as the pr,t.ent preparation affords tke infallible means of removing every blemish of the enamel, and is safe in its application, being itomposed of Vegetables. It is recommended to the attention of all ranks, as clearing away every imperfection, either in the colour, or the decay of the enamel of the Teeth, as rendering the Breath sweet and delecta• ble, and making the Gums of their proper shape and vermilion hue; and a certain preventive against the Tooth-ache. No com position of this kind ever brought forward to public notice, has met such universal approbation; and the Proprietor has to boast that it is in daily use of Royalty itself.
