POOLOO'S CHINESE CEMENT.—The
extraordinary properties of this Composition make it one
of the most useful articles ever presented to the public. It is
perfe,:tly impervious to hot or cold water, and will resist the
effects of the most intense heat. So tenacious and firm is it
in its hold, that a new fracture is almost certain to take place
rather than a severance in the original. Thus its utility sur-
passes all other cements for the fixing and mending of china,
glasr, and ivory, the setting of stones and beads in rings and
trinkets, &c.

Capital, 250,0001.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition t• the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea..thy, viz. :-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities u a provision for Old Age ; Weeic.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Thre• Months, duty

CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT-

—,—...
' AXTRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF
TEETH."
Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none
Ineee destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums
• eausca them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro-
duces tha most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A
loft .substanee invariably accumulates around the necks
' the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually
' /este away, and the Teeth then become loose, and
• drop out whole front 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
observations :—., When the disgusting effects of this accumn-
' lotion are considered, it would appear impossible that any per-
suasion coaddlise necessary to induce persons to obviate so great
A.a nuisance even on their own account ; or if they are too de-
,„lresed to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ-
' tg a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of
feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is ; anc. the sight and the

To irisist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard
4 the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they
-,' lita so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they arc
1 °° touch concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
,itiotte that there are many persons who never give themselves
the trOUNIe to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely
aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cut-
' Pltble negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends
*. °°d associates.
k•
_Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it
"" duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
,P4perl.
esysential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
'" anfficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner-
°just debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes roterh and
thole
of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips
for vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing
or the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re-
. ?s/ation of the whole system, which produces an irritable
*PraPer quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby
._° hem' me an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen

'' 7rless concomitant evils which may thus owe their
' rigio to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to
found
that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be
`ttlnd to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu-
, OM and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at
:lot Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford 'street, as

use natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They

~ - .A 2 an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever sten .
pre-e.rninent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of a om-
plexiot:, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can
render ant lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips
(though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or
h.,, discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a
sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a
,t 'Rood set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
u„onotieed, when it eontains teeth beautifully white and even.
Oa the ether hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of
' tartar, the blackened anti denuded fangs, and the taint of the
,breath, which is a 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-
• so4',, who do not possess this natural advantage, should en-
nvour, our, by extreme care and cleansinese, and a timely resort
to artificial rid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

AN Infallible Remedy has been discovered, in a
simple vegetable compound and an outward application,
for the Gout, Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Tic-doleureux,
Lumbago, &c., in all their agonizing forms, by which imme-
diate relief is afforded in the most inveterate cases, and the
cure perfected within from two to three days.
Mr. Thomas Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Nos. 3 and 4,
Friday.street, Cheapside, son of the discoverer, having tested
ibis remedy by private circulation for several years, during
which time thousands have been cured, from the nobleman to
the peasant, considers he would be wanting in his duty towards
his suffering fellow-creatures if he (lid not give them the full
advantage of this most important discovery ; he therefore no
longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making it publicly
known. The cures it has effected in the most violent and ob-
stinate cases have been truly wonderful, and a newspaper could
be filled with letters and testimonials in confirmation of its
efficacy from persons of rank and distinction, including several
from medical gentlemen of eminence. The great superiority
this specific possesses over all other remedies is from its being
an outward application, and so perfectly safe and innocuous that
the most weak and timid patient may use it with the greatest
safety.
This remedy is now known as Feaver's Embrocation, and
may be had of the proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 3 and 4, Friday-
street, Cheapside; Barclay and Sons, Newbery, Edwards, ,
Butler, Sutton, Sanger, and most of the respectable chemists
and medicine venders in town and country. In bottles at
