We direct attention to an Advertisement in
our first page, respecting Mr. J. P. CLARK'S fortunate
invention for curing that universal disturber—the tooth-
ache. We call his invention fortunate because we have never
seen or heard of any other system by which a complete cure
could be effected—and we know, from personal experience,
that Mr. CLARK'S plan is infallible. We can say no
more—but should any of our readers have any misgiving
on a subject so painful, they will have it agreeably removed
by personal application, without the danger of removing
any portion of that first Abject of female solicitude—the
teeth.
