MR. A. ESKELL, Surgeon Dentist, 8, Lower
Inventio
Gnrowvehsich has forre Sole Inventor and Patentee of an
its object the Perfect and Painless
Adaptation of ARTIFICIAL 'PEET FE, upon a novel prin-
tple, whereby one set of teeth lasts a lifetime, and a second,
et reserve set is unnecessary. Changes take place in the
Mouth from absorption of gums or removal of stumps, teeth,
and ordinary sets would, under these circumstances, be
ectnparatively useless, or only rendered available at some
Cost, but upon Mr. Eskell's patented process they are not
im-
paired in the slightest degree. Residents abroad, or in the
country, have it in their power to adjust their artificial teeth
at all times 'without the aid of a dentist. Mr. Eskell does
hot grant licences to use his patent, which can only be ob.-
tained at his residence, 8, Lower Grosvenor-street, where the
Medical profession, the nobility, gentry, and the public may
see specimens, and obtain every information. Teeth stopped.

Lotion.

" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by. his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not bathe
last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

fitting so admirably in the mouth, that nature appears to have

These Teeth are unparalleled in the world, and so exactly

observer. Mr. Edward Davieson particularly invites the
medical profession to examine specimens and style of work-
manship.
DAVIESON'S LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, and lasts for ever. For Front
Teeth it is invaluable, entirely superseding all those pre-
parations which discolour and spoil the appearance of the
mouth.

produce " Peace and good will among men."

This is what I denominate the true theory of
free trade. It contemplates no export duties to en-
hance the price of any natural product with the view
of making it artificially dear to those who require
it ; but it gives free scope to industry, the common
market of the world to all, and a healthy, generous
rivalry as the result.
One word, before I conclude, in answer to those
who pretend to justify Mr. Gladstone in the course
he is intent on pursuing with reference to the
paper trade.

4D STAMPED, SP.

ANEVER FAILING REMEDY.-
Dr. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, pre-
pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.
Scott, of Bromley, Kent, are a sure'remedy for affections of the
liver, indigestion, bile, sick headache, giddiness, loss of appe-
tite, lowness of spirits, &c. They can be taken at any time,
without any danger from wet or cold, act mildly on the bowels,
without pam or griping, clear the skin, remove sallowness
and pimples, purify the blood, brace the nerves, and invigo-
rate the whole system. Sold by most druggists, in boxes,
is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. Be sure to ask for Dr. Scott's
Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine are a square green
package, with " William Lambert, 20, Jermyn-street,' en-
graved on the Government stamp.

It is said this is the old, old tale of the corn laws,
the cry of the glassmaker, the soapboiler, the brick-
maker, &c. Nothing can be more deliberately
false than such a statement. Throughout the
whole range of agricultural, commercial, and manu-
facturing industry there is not one instance within
my knowledge where an export duty is levied on
the raw material of a British manufacture concur-
rently with a free admission of foreign manufac-
tured goods of the same description. But if there
were a single instance of the sort, is it a reason be•
cause you have done wrong in one case why you.
should continue your evil courses ?

And the statement that this wholesale destruc-
tion of the paper trade is right " in the interest of
the consumer " is equally false.
Who are the consumers of paper ? Not certainly
the newspaper proprietors, nor yet the publishers;
they are the manufacturers of books and news-
papers. The consumers of paper are those who
buy books and newspapers, those who buy tea,
coffee, and other groceries wrapped up in paper,,
who buy ironmongery, clothing, and other neces-
saries of life similarly wrapped up.
We are told distinctly that, as far as the penny
newspaper is concerned, "no one dreams of its
becoming cheaper." Will books be cheaper because
the publisher saves a farthing or a halfpenny per
volume on the cost of his paper ? Will the working
man buy his tea, his sugar, or his coffee any cheaper
because the grocer saves id. per lb. on his paper.
1. admit frankly that the effect of maintaining a
differential ld. per lb. on foreign paper is practi-
cally to make paper dearer than it would be were it
repealed; but the paper maker is no gainer by this
he pays the whole penny, and something more, on
the cost of his material, and, to some extent, the
public are reimbursed by the higher price they ob-
tain for their refuse.

IN

But let the incidence rest where it may, the main-
tenance of a differential duty at the Customs is an
absolute necessity to maintain the trade of paper--
making in existence in this country, so long as the
foreign export duty or tag tax is levied upon us ;
and it will be well that the members of the House
of Commons should pause before they allow any
merely party interests or party feeling to obscure
the great and important principle of international
justice which is here involved.—l am, sir, yours, &c.,
THOMAS WRIGLEY.
