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

Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none
atom destructive than Scurvy, which 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 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 that
the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.
On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following
eloservations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumn-
`- lei", are considered, it would appear impossible thaLanseper-
stessraireeirealreeisdnees parson. to Obidele so greet
• a nuisance even on their own account: or if they are too de-
based to-procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ-
sag a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock dm
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
professional men, shep-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
of the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same
Wise
The incenveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too
well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex-
perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray
Is desirous of showing some of the tl:ttficulties more or less en•
lured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are
lost, 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
stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in
proportion as it no longer digests; besides, when the Teeth
are gene, a great yr.:num is left in the mouth, which occasions
every muscle in tl.,e face to be distorted, and the whole features
Ire completely :trawn from their original position.
To insist the importance of the teeth, whether in regard
to the fun'Aions of digestion and articulation, to which they
are so cA,sentio, or to personal appearance, in which they are
so march concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not.
Ofroions that there are man) persons who never give themselves
'Ate trouble to think upon the subject • who seem scarcely
aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul-
liable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends
• end associates.
Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
Se duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
aroperly.
So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
is 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-
laxation of the whole system, which produces an irritable
temper, gnite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby
we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen
to 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
know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be
fnund to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu-
rope, and that artificial teeth arc 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 teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They
are se 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 features, no brilliancy of em-
plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can
vender that lady beautiful, who when she 'opens her lips
(though they he 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 fan} s, and the taint of the
breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will
nvariably prove disgusting and loathsome.
Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter,
are an ornament ege.oify attractive in either sex. These per-
sons nhe do not possess this natural advantage, should en-
deavour, liy extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort
to artificial P;A, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the
deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree-
able objet r, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming
cePo'.sive one.
".onsienr 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 Marmeratum, so universally recommended by
the Faculty
o lEngland, France, and throughout the Continent. which
substance he is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope-
rat ion is performed without 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
he most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex-
reetion unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly
ofaged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo-
tnel, diseas of the gums, or any other cause.

beauty ,to match equal in colour and shape thou, left in the

with this advantage, that they never change colour, decay, or
