from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a slim of at least £l,OOO more will lse required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is propsed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow' to give bread and coals to poor tamilies
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

31.. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has Introduced an entirely new descrip-
n of ARTIFICIAL "l'l ETH,fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly reemb'e the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never chancre colour or decay, and will
be found superior to
any Wt.& ever before used. This
method does not require t .e extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.
