A NEW DISCOVERY.
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 resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of riots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
Mastication.
Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.

The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the
Possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to

fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several coinendit order
in
r
that it may be really the cause of mutual happss. Coul
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
titled in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
hen any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be
of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
PlYing to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease,
sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
Medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
Certify and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
narantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
