A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
;VIR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESORIP-
"-'N of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
;stores. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
Itinguhihed from the originals by the closest observer; they will
beer change col )ur or decay, and will be tound very superior to any
eth
ever before used. This-Method does not require the extraction
rots, or any paintld operatien, and will supp and preserve
ieth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
ikstieation; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
!Reit of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
Possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful imistica-
