Al R. HOWARD,surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
tti street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natttral 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
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till Rye.
