II R. HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet.
I, I street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
IAL T ETH , fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
ecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
his 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
