occupied by William Dibley, where good Attendance

as reasonable Rates as any Stables in the City.
WILLIAM SOWERBY hath removed from his

The Sieur SIRETSI E,
•TAKES the liberty to offer his Cervices to the
1 public, in the art cf cleaning the teeth; he as
sures that he will render in a moment the blacked
teeth as white as snow ; he will also fix lead in those
that are hollow, which will preserve them without
the least pain. He will file the carious teeth, which
caution will prevent the other teeth from growing ca
rious. All these operations will be made without the
least pain.
The Sieur SIRETSIE will be provided with the
necessary powders, opiates, balsamic water, fpunges,
and roots, prepared in the fame manner of these which
the ladies of the court of France make use of, to keep
the teeth in a continual whiteness, and the gums in a
fine fifth vermillion. He will also fell a liquor, which,
by rubbing the teeth with it once a month only, will
prevent the new incrustations of tartar, that may be
locked upon as the greatest plague of the teeth and
gums. It produces, beside a difagretable smell in the
breath, heats the mouth, excoriate the gums, and ren
ders them foft, fungous, bloated, livid, and bloody at
the least touch : it also destroys the alveoli of the teeth.
The Sieur SIR ETSIE is now competing a final!
work, in favour of the ladies cf Philadelphia, which
will explain and teach them the means of maintaining
a perfect wholefomnefs in the mouth, and to keep the
teet, always white and clean ; also the manner of using
the powder, opiates and liquors above-mentioned.
Those ladies or gentlemen who will honour the Sieur
SIR ETSIE with their commands, will apply s o t
him at captain Rankins, in Second-ftrect, between Mar
ket and Chefnut streets, opposite to Mr. Howard's,
watchmaker.
