"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose

R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ART!.
I,ICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
;)erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
iccay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
Phis method does not 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. Decayed teeth
r ndercd sound and useful in mastication.—S2, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)

The deaths registered in London, which in the first
week of February rose to 1,368, have csntinuously de-
creased since that time, and in the week that ended last
Saturday were 1,175. In the ten years 1347,56 the
average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding
with last week was 1,160. For the purpose of compa-
rison this average must be raised proportionally to in-
crease of population ; in which case it will become
1,276, and it will appear that the public health is at pre
sent so fat good that the deaths last week were less by
100 than the numher that would have occurred if the
average rate of mortality had ruled.
. The mortality from diseases of the zymotic order was
last week unusually low, for the deaths referred to these
did not exceed 171, while the corrected average for cor-
responding weeks is 244. Small-pox was fatal in only
2 cases, both of which were those of young children, and
occurred in Clerkenwell ; and it may be stated that
London enjoyed almost complete immunity from this
distemper or from its fatal attacks. Whether it be the
result of causes that are temporary in their ope-
ration or otherwise, it is probable, considering the
greatly increased population, that small-pox has nev‘r
been less prevalent, or more subdued in its character,
than at the present time. Measles in the previous six
weeks averaged 27 deaths weekly ; the number fell last
week to 10. Twenty-two children died of scaiatina,
a number which shows a decrease also in this com-
plaint. The deaths from typhus declined to 26, and
those from diarrhoea to 12. The most fatal complaint in
the zymotic class was hooping-cough, which carried ell
70 children. The deaths caused by diseases of the organs
of respiration, which in the previous week were 304,
declined last week to 262, of wbich 136. were from
bronchitis, and 100 from pneumonia. Two deaths are
recorded as caused by privation ; 2 by intemperance.
Six persons are returned who had attaiue) the age of
90 or more years ; and in this number is a pensioner in
the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, whose age is stated to
have been 100 years.
Last week the births of 970 bays and 833 girls, in all
1,858 children, were registered in London. Its the ten
correspOnding weeks of the years 1847-56 the average
number was 1,649.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer In the week was 30 122 in.
The mean reading of this instrument was above 30 in.
daily durieg the last ten days of February, and the first
five of the present month. The highest reading last
week was 30'43 in. and occurred on Sunday (the
Ist instant). The mean temperature of the week
was 43'1 degree, and was 2 9 degrees above
the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined
by Mr. Glaisher). The highest temperature in the week
occurred on Sunday, and was 55 deg. ; the lowest oc-
curred on Thursday, and was 29.5 deg. The range cf
the week was therefore 25.5 deg. The mean dew-point
temperature was 37.9 deg., and the difference between
this and the mean temperature of the air was 5.2 deg.
The wind which blew on the first two days from the
east was afterwards generally in the west. There was
no appreciable amount of rain. The horizontal move-
ment of the air varied from 10 miles a day to 150.
