fully attained, and until, in-till matters relating to their religious
practices and cerettionkal elmervances, the natives be left entirely
to themselves." •

CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT

ItZTKACT FROM MONS. LE DRAY'S " TREATISE ON LOSS Or

VititTli."

Among the varions disorders of the Mouth, there is none
more destructive than Scurvy. which on first entering the Gums
!ousts skesn to bleed. on the Most trifling occasions, and pro-
dOes the most ofiensive and frequently putrid breath. A
soft. substance invariably accumulates around the necks
the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually
.vaste
drop away, and the Teeth then become loose, anti
tht out whole from their sockets, and it is well known the)
0 _ o UTeeth arises more from this cause than any other.

ecla distinguished Lecturer makes the following
b!ervatiOns t
When the disgusting effects of this accumn_

"lasi° r-allad be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great

"g a st.ilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
,suers of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of
'ee.ing than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and the
~eaell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some
people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion
to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199.
I Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth
an 1 gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own
breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To
atrofessional men, thop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who
ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world,
4 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,
verrY much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony?

inconvenienries attending the Loss of Teeth are too
known to require comment, but to those who have not ex-
, terisneed the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray
:°•°l
,desirmla of showing some of the difficulties more or less en.
1. bx every individual without them. When the Teeth are
„—t it is impossible to make use of Aid Pried ; and if the
y'mach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated.
:
"e patient is exposed to the most distressing in.ligestions, the
tbelach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak it
proportion as it no longer digests; besides, when the Teetb
are 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
le the functions of digestion and articulation; to which they
_are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are
r much coneerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
~e Obvious that there are manj 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
and associates.
bellastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
,„2'ulY performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
toptrly.
essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
13 sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner-
nut debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and
,tired of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips
sir 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 our friends, and a burthen
!o Ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the num-
berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their
origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to
_kaow 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

al in every respect to
the natural teeth, and may be
so arranged as to restore the face formertoits
Tou Theytitful
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 features, no brilliancy of coin-
, plexien, so sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can
render that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips
(thrugh 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
ennoticed, 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
breath, which is tt common concomitant of bad teeth, will
invariably prove disgusting and loathsome.
Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter,
are an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per-
lons who do nut possess this natural advantage, should en-
deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort
to artifitsul aid, to remedy.the imperfections, and supply the
• deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree.

ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into
the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds
atrdens 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. Ile also fastens loose Teeth, particularly
