WEST OF:ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE

-COMPANY. _
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
. CAPITAL, i£600,090.
President—The Right Honourable the. ,Earl of DEVON.

FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED.
PERSONS insured 'against Fire to the extent of £3OO and
upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas,
1837, and who had then been insured Two Years at least,
are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, -Calculated on
the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid' by them, from
Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837,A,A0w payable at the
Company's Office in Exeter, and byeie Agents with whom
the Insurances are effected, or renewed.
FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on
Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de-
cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future
Annual Premiums, at the option of the'lnsured. This ad-
vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders
the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In-
sured.

This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from
the fp-i- at, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the
Kin don t and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is
not rifer Jr to that of the first-rate Companies.
Toc company does not pride itself on account of the large
amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape
of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather
refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the In3ured
are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to
them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of
Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the
Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will
prove :

TEETH.

ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, of the Firm of Es-
KELL and SONS, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford-street,
London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may be consulted at
Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STREET, Liverpool,
OPPOSITE THEOALATINE CLUB-HOUSE. --
Mr. E. continues to FIX ARTIFICIAL TEETH on his
entirely New Principle ,'without tying or twisting wires : they
are constructed in such a manner that it is impossible to dis-
cern them from the productions Of nature. The peculiar ad-
vantages of these Teeth are, that they operate a.l a support to
those which remain in the mouth, if any, and prevent their ap-
proximation, and even Loose Teeth are held firm in their
sockets by their aid.

They may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with fa-
cility, and will continue securely fixed on the gums ; they
will retain their colour, perform mastication, assist articula-
tion, and cannot be distinguished from those of natural
growth. The inconveniences attending the LOSS of TEETH
are too well known to require comment ; but to those who
have not experienced the comforts of Artificial Teeth, Mr.
Eskell is desirous of showing the difficulties more or less en-
dured by every individual without Teeth. When the Teeth
fail the destruction of the sockets invariably ensues : one
cannot exist without the other. The process of absorption
commences immediately after the tooth is extracted, or. in
many cases, the gum and sockets waste away, and cause the
teeth to become loose and drop out. When the teeth are
gone and their sockets absorbed, a great vacuum is left in
the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be
distorted ; and the eyes, the nose, the lips, and chin, are
sadly disfigured and drawn from their original position. These
Artificial Teeth are constructed to supply this defect of na-
ture, and gradually to restore the features to that uniformity
so essentially requisite to a youthful appearance and perfect
articulation.

In consequence of the great improvements in the Mechani-
cal Drepartrnents of Dentistry, Mr. E. is enabled to lower
his charges to the following scale :
A Single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0
A complete Set..
A complete Set of Mineral Teeth, Gold
15 15 0
Plates, highly finished
A complete Set of Incorrodible Teeth,
first workmanship, usually charged 25 0 0
Fifty Guineas

PILLING DECAYED TEETH.
Mr. Eskell's celebrated MINERAL TERRA METAL-
LIC, for filling Decayed Teeth,. without heat,' pain, or
pressure. This Mineral is applied-in a soft state like paste,
to the cavity of the Decayed Tooth, however large or small
the cavity ; it hardens in a second into an enamel, becomes
incorporated with the outer shell, arresting thereby the pro-
gress of further Decay, and Toothache, and lasting for many
years.

Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising from old age, the
use of calomel, neglect, or natural diseases of the gums.
All other De<tal Operations, Scaling, Separating, Extract-
ing, and Regulating Children's Teeth, Mr. E. performs with
ease and safety.

w -
Mr. E. 's system of practice combines all the modern im-
proved methods adopted in London, the only opportunity of
the kind to be met with, without visiting the Metropolis.

MARGATE IN 1722.—1 n " A Journey through England,"
1722, Bvo., p. 86, it sayd, " From Canterbury I went to
Margate, in four hours, with design to proceed along the
sea-coast ; but I must own to you, I am very sorry I went
so much out of my road ; for it is a poor pitiful place !
the igh the Isle of Thanet, in which it is situated, is a fine
cou .try, yet there's hardly a gentleman's house in it."
r:MSPAPER READERS.—The tastes of the readers of a
newspaper are sufficiently various and singular. One reads
nothing but the poet's corner; another considers poetry, and
all that sort of stuff, horrid thrash. One deems politics the
only business of life ; another votes that department a bore.
This one reads only the deaths and marriages, and that one
looks only to the advertisements. There are various'other
idiosyncracies too numerous to mention ; but certainly the
most singular one we ever, heard of was the case of a lady
who was obliged 'to consult the celebrated Abernethy, be-
cause " for several mornings past she had not been able to
relish her murders." 'We should like to have seen the doc-
tor's physiognomy on the occasion.
