INSANITY.
INVALID INSTITUTION.
The DENHAM. PARK Establishment of the Institu-
tion is open for the reception of persons of both sexes in the
upper walks of life suffering under mental disturbance or ner-
vous complaints, but who are still capable of appreciating the
blessings of social intercourse.
The invalids reside with the resident Medical Officer and
his lady as one united family. The visits of the usual Me-
dical Attenuants and Friends are admitted at all times with-
out previous notice. The attendants are educated persons ; and
recreation and amusement provided on the most liberal scale.
Denham-park is a Proptietory Establishment, and managed
by a Committee of Gentlemen, and under the general surveil-
lance of its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen and Gentlemen, who
have no interest in the Institution but what is prompted by
a desire to benefit mankind.
The Resident Medical Officer is a member of the Colleg
of Physicians, and has the sole direction of the medical treat-
e
rnent of the invalids, and has no interest whatever in the
emoluments of the Establishment.

THE NEW WATERPROOF COD-
RINGTONS.

'I be upper classes may now obtain a Waterproof Garment
fit for a gentleman to wear. In appearance the above articles
are highly respectablef adapted equally to winter or summer,
fur the chaise, saddle, walking, or travelling. This invention
for rendering all kinds of clothing Waterproof, WITHOUT
IMPEDING the ESCAPE of PERSPIRATION, is now
too well known and appreciated to need description or recom-
mendation. It was first introduced by W. Berdoe, who is con-
vinced that the process of the " British Waterproofing Com-
pany" is the best. He invites attention to the following ex-
tract of a letter reporting on it from Colonel Rowan, Com-
missioner of the Metropolitan Police :
" It rained the whole NINE hours I was on duty, and when I
took off my great coat it was as dry inside as when I put
it on, &e." •

seasons, climates, and purposes ; also the new KANGAROO

FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH,
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED,
AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED.
Monsieur MALLAN and SON, Surgeon Dentists, No. 9, Half
Moon-street, Piccadilly, and 32, Great Russeil-s,reet, Bloomsbury,
continue to restore DECAYED TEETH with their MINERAL
SUCCEDINEUM (of which they are the Sole INVENTORS and
POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTEN
LOOSE TEETH, whether arising from age, neglect, disease of
the Gums, the use of Calomel, or any other cause. They have
also discovered a NEW COMPOSITION for A wrIFICIAL
TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this
SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally impervious to acids.
ART! MCI A L TEETH have hitherto been found objectionable
by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to
DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Ihe Messrs.
M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW
DISCOVERY, and they can fix the above without extracting the
STUMPS, or causing any incumbrance, and even on GUMS of
the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however
:pose. No WIRES or LIGATURES are used, and they MATCH
the ORIGINAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUA.
