TO CATHOLIC NOBLEMEN AND FAMILIES.

T must be obvious to all witotiuliConaid;rtWesalject,
I
that the state of the LABOURING CATHOLICS in ENG-
LAND, and more particularly in the METROPOLIS, is ca-
pable of great improvement, as reganls their morals and happi-
fleas ; and without dwelling either on the impositions to which
they are subject, or the disadvantages under which they perpe-
tually labour, it is presumed that every measure that would tend
to promote economy and industry, and counteract the general
distress, which too often visits whole districts, would meet with
the liberal patronage of the more wealthy members of the Uni-
versal Church.

Considering that the greater part of the distress that is to be
found among the poor Catholics, arises from sickness, and that the
evil is increased by the want of medical assistance, and the total
suspension of the poor men's earnings; and further, that (to say
nothing of the uncertainty of those institutions) Irish labourers,
indeed Catholics generally, arc excluded from the advantages of
moat Benefit Societies, it is respectfully submitted to the more
wealthy Catholic Families,—
That an Institution should be formed under the Act of fig Ileo. 3.
cap. 12U, to enable Catholics generally, of all deroirmations, to
provide, by Monthly Contributions, certain Weekly .11lowances
during Sickness and Infirmity, and sums of Money at thxith, for
Burial Expenses, &c. &c.
That the contributions, required for such allowances, should
be fixed by proper actuaries at the lowest pos-iblz raze, to secure
the permanence and stability of the Institution.
That the Society should be ailed by the voluntaty Subscrip-
tions of Honorary, 31Pmbers, and he governed by a Cinnniittee
chosen from and by the Honorary Subscribers and Insuring
Members.

That the Members should meet annually only, foe the election
of I Hficers; and, that the business of the Society should be carried
on at some convenient place—not a public house.
t If the positive advantage■ arising from this step, none but those
who have considered the ►ubject can form any idea. The promo-
tion of industry and economy; protection against that distress which
is the result of sickness or death ; the prevention of contagious dis-
ease by the prompt attention which would emanate from the So-
ciety's visiting medical practitioners, are some of the earliest of the
effects which would be produced; and it is under this impression
that friends to such a measure are earnestly solicited to communi-
cate with a Gentleman who has determined to found such an Insti-
tution in London, and who will lend his assistance towards es:a-
blishing such Societies in any County or City in the United King.

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND 14U315.
MITE I'EtiETABLE TOOTH POWDER has so
long been in )general use, that it is unnecessary to offer
any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, with-
out the admixture of any 31incral or pernicious ingredient what.
ever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other
Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate
those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the
Interstices of the Teeth; healing injuries in the former, and pro-
ducing a new Enamel (where it hes been injured or corroded), on
the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to
the Gums ; and, if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a
sound state to old age.
