y AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-

deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

• R. 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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

LAW CLASSES.
In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted
under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers,
and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The
number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and
the instruction given will be confined to an examination
of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or
on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject.
A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and
be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc-
tion and examination of the students. The tr aching of the
lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the
memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex-
amination will test, from time to time, the progress made
by the students.
