HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
_ v street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
F lAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perrectly resemble the natsral teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, ard will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
rhie 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 ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
/deal, he has fixed the charges at the lowest k caie posslb'e. De-
cayed teeth stopped and r ndered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At some from ten till five.
