MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
• • street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETII ,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
decay. andwill be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method doei net require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-42, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.
