MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly reFemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro.n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require tne extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will snpport'and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.
