ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
Way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the 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 accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-Creatures. Moreover,
it 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
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to i,dmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas • erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and
Co.; Prescott, Grote, and Co Co.;; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Giyn

TEETH.—By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Seth or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
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 peeuliar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any charige of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they aye guaranteed tc last a life
time, as w(11 as for mastication and articulation. Mr.
