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 will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operatic., 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, ➢feet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

_BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH,
NEW-ROAD, LONDON.
Zeport of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter,
M.R C.S.L.for 1848.
" I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygolan Dis-
pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been
treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
of the British College of Health, and I am still more conflrmul in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two casci, beet in
handreds), that the Hygoian system is founded in truth. The cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that
patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines.
The names of the parties ani their addresses are recorded in my
book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300
poor patients during the past year, and I have now about 150 on the
Dispensary books. Iu conelusilu, I beg to return my sincere thanks
to the sabscribers to the Dispensary.
(Signed) " RICHARD TOTHILL, Surgeon, &a.

N.B. No chemist or druggist is authorised to sell Morison's Pills.

This Association has been formed principally with the view of af-
ording to gentlemen engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUBLIC
OFFICES, BANKING IIOt'SES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
BLISHMENTS, a safe and advantageous mode of Investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
interest, or in the purchase et freehold or leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will he regulated by Tables prepared
expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
The leading principles of this Society are
1. Perfect equality of benefit between an the Members, 'whether
borrowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
wishing to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period
of the Society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
M the Sharet of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip-
tions for the, ten years, in advance, and disecunt, after the rate of 4/.
per Cent. per annum, will be alleaked for the sums so paid.
Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after
Abe first year, 'without Sao ; -and atitisequenllys to, that period corns-
pound interest at the rate oft/. per Cent. per annum will be allowed
upon the sums withdrawn.
Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.
, By the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
oats advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ;
and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new
Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup-
plied to every Member. This is manifestly far prefersisle to the un-
equal and objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares
np to auction, and advancing the money to those who sumit to the
largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature,
which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
same advantage, is entirely frustrated.
The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the
end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the
heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car-
ried into full operation.
No Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own
subscriptions.
Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of
the Society, 16, Old Broad-street.
Applications for Shares should be addressed to the Secretary, in
the following form :

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital posers. The particular excesses, on
.ho nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and ceMplete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention end study, for what subject can
be of more Importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering '
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a coalified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequentlr, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for Assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hi:, posse-sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

from Bermuc'a on the Bth inst., arrived here last

muda, and has just completed a quarantine of six
weeks ; her newly appointed captain, Commander

The new schooner Bermula, building on the island,
was not yet off the slips.
The Persian is bound to Portsmouth.

On the 14th inst. Mr. Helier Touzel, aged 22, of
Jersey, passed an examination before the Plymouth
branch of the Trinity-house, and was granted a
second class certificate as master.

Her Majesty's frigate Eagle, 50, Captain George
B. Martin, from America, hcve in sight about mid-
day, under her three double reefed topsails and jib;

Sound, and saluted the Admiral, she anchored to the
eastward of the Persian, about a mile north of the
breakwater Camber.

Her Majesty's brig Petrel, Lieutenant-Commander
Thomas Creser, was there then, but left on the 9th of
