CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT-
ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS.
'EXTRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAYS "TREATISE ON LOSS OF

Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none
:Gore destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gams
causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro-
duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A
tuft substance invariably accumulates around the necks
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 thsi
the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.
On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following
Miaervations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu-
oa convidereel, it would appear imposeible that any pero
"Illtsion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great
nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de-
based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ-
tag a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
senses 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 disgust 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
hrofessional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who
ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world,
I good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance !
tesides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out
•f twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums,
eery 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
tense') _ _ _

The inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too
Well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex-
?erienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray
is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en..
dared by every individual without them. When the Teeth are
lest, 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 inoligestions, the
stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in
Proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth
N'e gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions
*very muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features
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
ire so essential, or to personal appearance, in which thee are
So much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
obvious that there are man) persons who never give themselves
the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely
%ware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul-
!Able negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends
and associates. _ . .

Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
%e duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
properly.
, So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
1,1 sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner-
vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough 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-
IsXation of the whole system, which produces an irritable
temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby
Re become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen
,t 0 ourselves. But I need not slwell upon the num-
berless 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, Neiman-street, Oxford -street, as
to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to
Use natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They
are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful
east, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing
sway with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires.
As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan
re-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om-
plexion, no sparkling eyes, or siiken braids 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
iscoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a
tallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a
llood set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.
Oft the other 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
lavariably prove disgusting and loathsome.
Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter,
*re an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per-
sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should en-
deavour, by extreme care and cleaniiness, and a timely resort
10 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
• re'palsive 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
hontinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine-
ral Marmeratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty
• fEng!and, France, and throughout the Continent, which
substance lee is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope-
ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into
the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a fees seconds
gardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache,
arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute
he most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation
ofex-
ratition unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly
of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo-
mel, diseas of the gums, or any other cause.
ARTIFICIA is or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing
beauty, to match equal in colour and shape thou, left in the
