MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 62, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
er&L TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
r.erfeetly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
clue original by the closest obs9rver; they will never change colour or
Tele,aY. and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
''s Method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
oPeration, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and usetul in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
