CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT.

EXTRACT FROM MONS, LE DRAYS "TREATISE ON LOSS OF

TEETH."

Among the various diSTQCr; of the Mouth, there is none
more destructive than Scurvy, uhich on first entering the Gums
causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro-
duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A
soft substande invariably accumulates around the reeks
of the Teeth, penetratss into the Gums, which gradually
caste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and
drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known
he loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.

On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the fullowins
ebset rations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accureee
tioa are -Here.!, it would appear impossible that any per-
suasion
could be necessary to induce! persons to obviate so great
a nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de-
based to procure their own confect and cleanliness by employ-
.ng a Seilful,Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
~eieses of other, 1e15P14037-eia-plare.ssielie4e,y, _and propriety of-"
feeling than themselves. . Yet, so it fs ; and• the sight and the
smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some
people, who seem to obtrudo their faces the closer in proportion
to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199.
Could such persons only see the herrld state of their teeth
and gums, or for a .moment catch the odour of their own
breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To
professional men, shop-keepers, and tradeimen generally, who
have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world,
a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance
Resides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out
of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums,
very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony?
And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness
of the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same
cause
The inconVeniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too
well known to require comment, but to those who have not exs
perienced the comfort of Artificial" Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray
is desirous of showing some of he difficulties more oreless
*lured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are
lost, it is impossible to make use of solid !bed ; and if the
stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated,
the patient is exposed La the most distressing insligestions, -the
stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak to
proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth
ere gone, a great vacuum-is left in the mouth, which occasions
every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features
are completely drawn from their original position.
To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard
to the functions of digestion anti articulation, to which they
are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are
so mach concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
nbvions that there are many persons who never give themselves
the trouble to think upon, the subject ; who seem scarcely
aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul-
pable ueglige.nce renders tha fact too apparent to their friends
earl associates.
Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
• be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
properly. ..
. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
is.suffieient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, nor-
vous debility,' depression of spirits, the skin becomes multi and
tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips
their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing
' for the whole .body to receive such a shock_ as to cause re-
laxation of the-whole system, which produces an irritable
temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby
we become an annoyance .to bur friends, and a burl hen
to ourselves. - lint I need not dwell upon the num--
, lawless concomitant evils which may thus owe their-
erigin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to
know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be
tound to be many years in advance orally system now in .Eu-
, /aye, and that art ificia: teeth ale brought to such perfection, at
' the Establishment, No; CO, .Nesrmanestreet, Oxford -street, as
to. perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to
the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They
see so arranged as to restore the lace to its former youthful
cast, correcting all dcformitie's of the mouth, and entirely doirg
away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires.
As an essential point of beauty, lies teeth must ever stan
ire-eminent. No regularity of features!, no brilliancy of om-
plexion, no sparkling eyes, or eiikendiraids of jetty hair can
render that lady 'beautiful, . who . when she opens her lips
(though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or
discoloured.. On the contrary, even homely features and a
sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a
good sot of teeth. , A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
Linnet; sed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.
On the ether hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of
tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the -
breath; which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will
invariably prove disgusting and loathsome.
Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter,
ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per-
sone who do not yoesess this natural . advantage, should en-
deavour, by extreme care and cleantiness, and a timely resort
to artificial rid, to remedy the imperf,,etions, and supply the
deficiencies ()culture, in order thattheir teeth, if not an agree-
able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming',
a repulsive one.
Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street,
Oxford-street, respectfully • acquaints the Nobility, Gentry,
Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he
continues to restore Decayed 'Teeth with his celebrated Mine-
ral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty
a 'England, France, and throughout the Continent, which
substance lee is sole, inventor and possessor of. The ope-
ration is performed, ,vithout the least pain ; it is placed into
the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds
nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache,
arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute
the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex-
traction unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly
of :teed persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo-.
- mei, diseae of the gums, or any other cause.
ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing
beauty ,to match equal in colour and shape then, left in the
mew's., fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting
the roots cr giving any pain ; and they are so exactly formed to
nature, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference,
Kith this advatitage, that they never change colour, decay, or
smear out, et, the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A Set'J
A complete Set ' lO 10 0
A eomaletc Set of Natural Teeth, beautifully
mounted in artificial gums, or fine gold, the same as
charged Thirty Guineas l5 15 0
An entire Set of 'Monsieur Le Drav's beautiful Mi-
neral Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, the
same as charged It'orty Pounds ...
AsTanged en a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossible
to rlistieguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones;
aroWering most satisfaetcrily all the purposes of the original
Teeth in mastication and articulation: imparting' to the dounte-
nehce a younger and improved appearance, protecting the
adjoining teeth, and remaining perfectly secure in their place?.
At Home every day from Ten till Six.
