RETREAT NEAR LEEDS

FOR. THE
RECEPTION AND RECOVERY OF PERSONS AFFLICTE WITH

DISORDERS OF THE MIND.
MR. HARE begs to announce to the Profession and the
Public, that the above Establishment is adder his
particular Superintendence, and that the most strict attention
is paid to the Medical, as well as Moral Treatment of the
Individuals who are committed to his care.

The Retreat is delightfully situated on RisingGround,at

r, •
the opening of Aire-Dale, little more than a mile f om the
town of Leeds; the situation is .healthy, cheerf , and also
sufficiently retired ; the Gardens and Plantati. s are exten-
sive ; the Premises combine proper accomm..ations for the
Exercise and Amusement of the Parent- , and the Apart-
ments are spacious, lofty, well ventilate. .nd fitted up in the
most commodious manner.
The Establishment is to be consid •d more in the light of
a temporary Residence in the Coun ry, where the Patient is
placed while he undergoes such a plan of treatment as may
be necessary to restore the functions of the brain, than as an
Asylum, in the common acceptation of the term ; hence it is
well suited for persons of weak mind, or who may be subject
to fits of temporary insanity—for whom confinement is ne-
cessary.* In recent cases, a perfect and speedy recovery
may generally be expected.
Applications, either personal, or by letter, postage free,
addressed 26, East Parade, Leeds, will meet with immediate
attention, and have the most satisfactory references, if re-
quired, to Patients already discharged, or their Friends ;
also to Physicians resident in London, Dublin,_ Leamington,
Leeds, Sheffield, Scarborough, Wakefield, Bradford, &c.,
who have had occasion to visit Patients at the Retreat.

This day is published, in royal Bvo, dedicated, by permission,
to Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie, Bart., V.P.R.S., and
Charles Aston Key, Esq., Senior Surgeon to Guy's Hospital.

MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from the
Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.
SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
MONK. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SY.ISI.-sTRZET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to till up the - "ties of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmorat 1, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ;it is place nto the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few e ds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, a sting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, Or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,—
it the following Paris charges : •
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.

venience. fi

provement of those whose education has been comparatively
neglected in early life ; but provision will be made in •it to
enable young men to pursue particular branches of Classics!,
Mathematical, or Commercial knowledge. Classes will be
organised for the study of Navigation, Geography, Nautical
t
v,ft
Astronomy, Naval Architecture, and Ci ' Engineering, which
branches will he taught on a scale co i nsurate with their
growing importance to the interests o t s port ;—and, with
a view of still further adding to the ' bless of these classes,
examinations of the pupils coon 1 with them will periodi-
cally take place, and certificat proficiency be granted to
them. Able masters will like '' be provided for the tuition
of students in English Graf i r, Writing, Arithmetic, Ar-
chitectural, Ornamental and Figure Drawing and Modelling,
Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and the modern languages,
as well as for the communication of such other learning as
may be calculated to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, and
render them happier and better members of society.
Independently of the Schools, it is intended that this In-
stitution shall possess a spacious hall, in which popular
Lectures may be delivered from time to time. And as the
Institution flourishes and funds are supplied, it is intended
that every addition requisite for the advancement of the Pu-
pils in Literature, Science, and Art, shall be provided, and
suitable buildings erected tOr a Museum, Library, &c. on a
scale adapted to the increasing wants of the community.
To connect the Institution more closely with the various
classes for whose improvement it is designed, and to secure
the services of the most efficient individuals in its manage-
ment, it is proposed that the vsuerEd direction of it:Affairs-
, shall be entrusteJ ';si a Committee of-thirty-six persons, to he
elected from the Clergy, Merchants, Professional Men and
Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and Mechanics. It is intended that
the Committee, in• the first instance, shall be elected at a i
General Meeting of the Donors of £lO 10s. and upwards, to
be held on tholirst Monday in January, 1810, and that its
future appointment, in such manner as may hereafter be
determined upon, shall be vested in one hundred Life Go-
vernors. The first Donors of £lOO or upwards, on or before
the first Monday in January, shall be Life Governors, and
they shall meet on that day to complete their number, if
necessary, and to elect seven Trustees for the Land and Pro-
perty. The Governors shall also till up vacancies in their
own body and in that of the Trustees. The Committee shall
form a Code of Laws, Rules, and Regulations for the future
government of the Institution, upon the principles previously
stated, and revise, amend, or alter the same from time to
time ; but no Laws, Rules, or Regulations, shall be made or
altered without the sanction of two-thirds of the Governors,
who may be present at a Meeting specially convened fur that
purpose after seven days' notice, and consisting of not less.
than twenty-one Members.
To erect an Institution worthy of Liverpool, and adapted
to its growing wants, a considerable sum of money will be
necessary, and it is confidently expected that the determina-
tion already evinced in this town, to maintain Scriptural
Education in connexion with the Established Church, will
lead to the speedy contribution of the required amount.
Donors of £5OO or upwards, will be entitled to become Vice •
Presidents of the Institution for life, with peculiar privileges.
Those Ladies who may contribute £lO 10s. or upwards, and
Gentlemen £25 or upwards, will be styled Honorary Life
Members, and a division of the Lecture hall will be espe-
cially reserved for their accommodation. A Donation of
£lO 10s. or upwards, in one sum, from a Gentleman, and of
£5 ss. or upwards, from a Lady, will constitute them Mem-
bers of the Institution for life, with certain privileges. Do-
nations under £5O may be paid in two yearly instalments,
and above £5O in four yearly instalments, of which the first
shall be due on the Ist January, 1810.

tresses of the labouring poor will, it is to be feared, be soon
more than ordinarily aggravated, an urgent appeal be made,

public, for prompt contributions in aid of the Societ)'s
