nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.

I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.

Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Sole Inventor and

the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA•RUBBER as a lining
to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following !—A 11 sharp edges are avoided ; no
springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
attainable; and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when
loose, or rendered tender by the absorption'of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
nay with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at th• same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the .Registrar-General's Report.)

It is a subject of much regret that the public health,
as measured by the rate of mortality, is still in a very
unfavourable state. Since the third week of Febrhary,
when it feel to 29.8 deg., the mean weekly temperature
has continued to rise, having been successively 38.8 deg.,
35.3 deg., and last week 44.6 deg. In the same periods
the weekly mortality of London shows a constant in-
crease, the deaths having been 1,344, 1,427, and in the
week that ended last Saturday 1,436. The deaths in
the present return occurred at the following ages-600
under 14 years, 467 at 15 years' and under 60, 369 at 60
and upwards.
In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the
years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1,078,
which, if raised in proportion to increase of population,
becomes 1,186. Therefore the excess of last week's mor-
tality above the estimated amount is 250.
Last week the births of 892 boys and 924 girls, in all
1,816 children were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average
number was 1,473.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29,926 inches.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday it was above 30
inches. The mean daily temperature was above the
average of the same days in 38 years on every day of the
week ; it was highest on Sunday and Monday, when it
was 8 and 7 deg. above the average. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 44 deg. 6min., or 4 deg 4 min.
above the average. The wind blew from the south-west
generally, but was calm during the greater part of the
week. The mean dew-point temperature was 38 deg.
7 min.
