CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT..
ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS.'
.EXTRACT FROM MONS. I.E DRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF
TEZT"'",
the Mouth, there is none
Among the various disorders
more destructive than Scurvy, which on 17::t entering the Gums
asses them to bleed on the most trifling occa.7i"', and pro-
Atices the most offensive and frequently putrid htleath. A
soft substance invariably accumulates around the nt.74"
of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually
waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and
drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known this
.the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.
On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following
observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu-
lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per-
suasien could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great
a nuisance even on their ewn account : or if they are too de-
based to procure their own" comfort and cleanliness by employ-
tog a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
lenses of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of
feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and the
:smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some
people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion
to the di.gust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199.
Could such persons only see the horrid 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 tradesmen generally, who
have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world,
a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance'.
Besides, 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
49f the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same
Wise ?

The ineonveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too
well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex-
eerienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray
is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en-
dured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are
llost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the
'stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated,
'the patient is exposed to the most distressing indigestions, the
attsicsach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in
proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth
,iire 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 and articulation, to which they
are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are
so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
*obvious 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 negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends
...Id associates.

Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
43e duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
-molterly.
So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner-
vouit debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rou:th 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 relaxation
nf the whole system, which produces an irritable ,emper, quite
foretgn to tl'e natural disposition, whereby we become an an-
noyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need
not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may
thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient
to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be
found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu-
rope, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at
the Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford 'street, as
to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to
the natural toe'', and may be used with every comfort. They
:are so arranged as to restore the lace to its former youthful
.cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing
away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires.
As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan
pre-eminent. No regularity of fea.ures, no brilliancy of orn-
plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can
.ender 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 set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.
On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of
tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the
bread), which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will
savariably prove disgusting and loathsome.
Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter,

,
are en ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per-
Isom %she, do not liossess this natural advantage, should en-
deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort
to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the
deficiencies of nature, in order that their 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,
tOxford-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
Eng'and, France, and throughout the Continent, which
substance be is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope-
ration is performed without the least pain; it is placed into
she cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds
nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache,
=wresting 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 awed persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo-
mel, disease of the gums, or any other cause.
ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing
be-auty ,to match equal in colour and shape thost, left in the
mou +la, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting
the roc 's or giving any pain ; and they are so exactly formed to
.
nature, i hat the closest observer cannot detect the difference,
that they never change colour, decay, or
with this at.vantage,

to Aistiuguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones;

adjoining teeth, and remaining perfectly secure in their places.
