MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH., fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
Perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
,i_ecrty, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
a °is method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
°Aeration, 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
