['HIS excellent Institution, erected for the public

of practice, has to boast the cure of no lois than fitoo patients
since 1806, many labouring under the most desperate Venereal
Infection. The swerior and highly edicacioas plan of treatment
pursued by Mr. Kiernan, while it :voids the inconveniences or
public charities, gives a certain, safe, and speedy cure, without
Confinement, injury totbe constitution, or any cirrn nist antes whit h
can betray to th^ friends of the patient the existence of their dis.
ease.. The eatly symptoms of infection are cured in a I,w tam
and the most coo p.icated forms of strictures, debility, ulcerations,

GUESTONIAN MEDICINES.
CICERO's OBSERVATIONS opt TOOTH-DRAWING, *IT*
GUE:-T's REMARKS THEREON.
IT has efien been observel by our ancient Philoan.
pliers. that the art of hea'ing is the most noble and god like work
of man. Meacal Men feeling as they ought, the great im
of this remark, should be induced tc use their lemon endeavours
to accompli.l►so laudable., work; and at the Tooth-ache is of all
compli*nts the most general, as well as the most tormenting pubs •

that rulnkind can beaiilleted w:th, the;r hnnianity alone stsKTII /-
keep then in constant pursuit of some discovery that will prove
certain iu its effects: :mtead of which they s:nsi every person
applying for relief to some tooth-drawer, to he tortured accord-
ing to a cu.tom, as barbarous as it is unnecessary ; and that then"
never its am,: salty for drawit g a tooth on account of pain,
have had nea ly 16 years experience in a very extensive pmciica
to convince me, having dur ng the greatest part of that t pis died
myself t• cure all thos- vtho choose to apply,withour drawing the
tooth or giving pain; then surely tehould lost have thus wantostay
exposeg myself to r.dlcu'e, and subject niywlf to be stigmatised
as a pretender, if I was nut secure in offering my Medicine as an
infallible cu. e.

On this occasion, I cannot help introducing the besutif tl
remarks of that wise and celebrated orator, Marcus 1 iglius
Cicero, who undoubtedly was one 'of the best and *twat
men of the age in which he lived; he informs us, " that
Tooth-drawing was first invented Ly /F.eculapius, in whose
Temples the ancields hung up a vans of leaden pincers, to signify
.th it it would be dangerous and improper to eatratt any teeth but
~ueli as en•ght he removed with I, aden forceps; that fs, such as
are loose, and almost ready to till out ; for they do not consult
their own Wt. {fire, who imprudently remove their teeth without
ab nine recnssity."
The operation of drawing teeth is not orly very painful, but
sometimes dangerous, and has been knoen to place life in a pre-
cisions situation; and in many Instances, does irremediable mie..
chief to the neighbouring teeth, which mostly go to decay soon
afterwards in consequence of this dreadful shock ; but it seems
people sufferirg this pain in consequence of the tooth being faulty,
are more particularly in,!uted to submit to the operation, because
the Dentists finding it their interest so to do, have impts wed ota
most minds the idea, that a decayed tooth will Irjure those near
it; that this is truth, I deny ; having never known an instance in
all my practice, though I have been very minute and careful In
my observations; but on the nentrary, I now know several pee-,
sons who have been cured by my Medicine, and the offending
tooth his remained for years a useful servant, without tither of
the teeth nearest it being affected; other objections on tooth-
drawing are, the great and unpleasant alteration it makes in the
speech, lessens the power of mastication, and deprives nature of
one of its greatest ornaments.

It will perhaps be asked by those who are unauainted with
my Medicine (which I haescelled Welcome Guest), what risk
It has to public preference Mire than many others, which by ades
vertisement have been as confidently r•:commended ? To which
I make this brief answer—that all pr3pri.turs of secret medicines
declare their nostrums to be infallible ; but they none of them
have dared solicit public attendance as I have done, and by incase
lestible proof, estiblished the basis on which I have built my pre-
tensions fo superiority. The few who will be at the pains to ape
ply this Medicine properly, makes it uece.sare for such patioses
to call on me, and they will receive an earnest of the truth of my
declarations, and be so well acquainted with the stethood of Inds%
it, as will enable them to offer, on any similaroccation, their sem
vices most usefully to ths•ir friends. In addition to the Toot h-achk„,
the Welcome GGGGG may be used as a certain cure for the Face- INFI
ache, Far-ache. and Gum-boils ; it will in many cases fasten loose
teeth. even if ;rout a mercurial came; bat as prevention is better
than cure, B. Guest has prepared a Tooth Powder so perfectly
innocent, that it will preserve the enamel, yet possessing thnse
qualities requisite to remove the tarter, and at the same time give
them a beautiful natural colour, ind free the Gums trom Scurvy,
which is generally the forerunner of the most distressing pains.
In concluding ttussoi remarks, I beg to call the attention of the
married ladies, who, when in that situation the must plea/lag t
an affectionate husbnaJ, are frequently very meth *noted with
toothache, and in these most tequitite pains are Impnelent
enough to part with their teeth, time attar time, wlskuut being
relieved; the cause, in rich casts, being evidently, yteemnsaac,
it is a little surprising such cruel depredations should be made of
the feelings and comforts of those, who, In the moment of Ka
niz'ng pain, gladly embrace any shadow ef relief, without that
reflection which would at other times retain them Into et:eerie-
tion of its absurdity. The useless, painful, and dewraccont sys-
tem of drawing the teeth on such occasions, may he 'kw, ..ajo,
peneed witli, and, by subwituting the toe o` thi Welcome fine,
Insure perfect rase in a few minutes, knd a lasting en}upnent
thosevaln bleornaitent.
