" The object of this work is to give some useful hints as to the means
which all people have it in their power to employ when accidents
happen which require immediate attention, and no medical man is at
hand and cannot be obtained for hours. Such cases are neither few
nor unimportant, and many serious consequences, nay, even death,
may be prevented, if a jullcious person, having been put on the
track, make use of the simple remedies almost every house affords,"

recommending some peculiar nostrum, they have combined these to-

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
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
never change col ur or Cecay, and will be tound very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

TO THE LADIES.
put into
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the tierbary, Iligh -
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was fore te baldness apeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testpimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 1 ls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
aece, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair,
will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product sf the
giost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
>dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the erown of the hea i ; if va'y bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air oil children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See

unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well
physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED on the EVENING
of MONDAY, the 17th inst., at Eight P.M., by RORER "f KNOX, M. i).,
F.R.S.E., Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Mede-
eine, and Lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology.
This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested in the
exciting events new going on in South-Eastern Africa, in the Kaffir
War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the
Aboriginal races, the progress of the Anglo-African Empire, and the
all-important questions of Christian mission, and human civilization
in thatiquarter of the globe. In illastration of the Lecture, Dr.
Knox wilt introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of
science Five Bosjlemans, or Bush people—two males, two females
and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings
that ever visited Europe.

Admission : reserved seats and platform. 2s. 6d. ; body of the hall
and west gallery, Is. Entrance to the platform and reserved swats
from the Strand; to the body of the hall and west galleries from
Exeter-street.

(SHE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBI-
TION of ABORIGI .ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed
in Liverpool by the brig Fanny. Captain Wheeler, and will be ex-
hibited, for the ffrst time, at the EGYPTIAN HALL, Piccadilly, on
TUESDAY, the 18th instant.
SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN,
and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the
interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could
never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This oppor-
tunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology
has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the
gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay
of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus
adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance.
(From Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Attica, page 53.)

" Poor Bushman ! Thy hand has been against every one, and
every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been
hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature '
had made their own, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo-
mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every-
thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of
aloes, gum of acarias, and other plants and berries, some of which
are extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost
every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts,
and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious
serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or
reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their
arrows."
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjiemans,
see Professor Leichtenstelu's Barchells, Campbell, Backhouse,
Methunes, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa, and the works of
Dr. Knox, on the Variety of the Human Race.
