R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
-1 street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETll,flxed 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, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
this method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
suaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful In mastication.-62, Fleet-street. At
