JOHN MORTON, ) of Samuel Morton.
The most violent TOOTH-ACH,
Cured in a few minutes without drawing, by an
Essence which gives immediate case therein.
BY applying this Essence outwardly it will re
move all kinds of swelling in the cheeks or
pain in the ears, and is an absolute cure for the
head-ach if ever so violent : It likewise eases the
rheumatic pain in any part of the body. This va
luable Essence is prepared and fold in bottles, at
One Dollar each, with particular directions in
print for using it, and mfy be had (at Mrs. Devine's
in Penn-street, a few doors from John Hart's vendue
store) of Mr. M'G IN NI S, Surgeon-Dentist,
who takes this in :thod of acquainting the ladies and
gentlemen, and the inhabitants in general of this
part of Britifli America, that he performs the dif
ferent operations' on the teeth and gums, displaces
all the fuperfluous teeth and dumps with the great
est case and fafety, and if the found teeth be ever
to black he will make them as white as ever they
were, without giving the leart pain to the patient;
and he prepares his inimitable Tincture, which in
ten days cures the feurvy in the gums, be it ever so
inveterate or long standing, it likewise preserves
the teeth from rotting, keeping such as are decay
ed from being worse, and it ett'e&ually eradicates
that nauseous complaint called a stinking breath,
which generally proceeds from decayed teeth, scor
butic gums, or nsgle&uig to keep them clean ; it
beautifies the teeth, let them be ever id black,
cleaning them from those sandy tartarous particles
that adhere to them, which occasion rottenness, and
bring on frequent tooth-aches ; a few times using
will Shew the excellency of this dentifrice, more
than if a volume was wrote in its praise —He like
wise prepares a powder which polishes the teeth,
giving to them and preferring the most beautiful
enamel. What can be more ufeful or ornamen
tal (especially to the fair sex) than a set of regular
and beautifully polished teeth, embraced by found
and healthy gums?
As he makes but a short stay in this city, he re
commends to the public to make speedy application.
His tincture and powder are fold at the small price
of 65. with printed directions ; and if any person
uses this tincture above three or four times, with
out perceiving a visible and fatisfa&ory profpe& of
being soon cured, they Iliall have their money re
turned on application.
Ladies and gentlemen who labour under any of
these disorders, and are pleased to favour him with
tluir commands, wil^be attended on the shortest
notice.—The poor, tormented with the tooth-ach,
cured gratis.
N. B. Orders will be received by Mr. M'Ginnis,
at Mrs. Devine's in Penn-street, where he now
lodges, and will give due attendance from eight
o'clock in the morning to five in the afternoon. —
His stay in this city will be only till the firft of
