Way Terminus, at King's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUFCLEUCH, N.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce tin principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is aecom-
Pnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
!pable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
he casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
the order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
it these hmost wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
to APPEAL to the public for continued support,
_P enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

Sets Seal granted 17th July, 1S60), Sets or partial
_d
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, arc made a"
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it
ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tt last a life
