MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

The assets; of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected, on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely, necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
