R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
_ street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
ICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natnral teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
tecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
Phis method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
,peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
Nome from ten till five.
