DESSERT FRUITS.

JMIDDLEWOOD respectfully informs his Customers,
• Friends, and the Public, that he is now prepared to serve
Desserts to any extent, with a variety of Fruits, not to be
equalled in England. His Pines are of superior quality.
Melons, Peaches, Grapes, with every choice English Fruit,
in Season. A few Forbidden Fruit, also French Pears of all
the most approved sorts. His fine Imperial Blue Raisins,
for Desserts, 3s. the Box. The finest Muscatel Layers, in
Boxes and Half Boxes. New Jordan Almonds and Portugal
Plums, in Boxes, 2s. 6d. each. His Filberts, Cob Nuts, and
Walnuts, prepared for keeping, are the best sample that
could be procured in London.
J- M. begs respectfully to inform his Friends and the Pub-
lic, that his Establishment, patronised for 40 years by Roy-
alty and the Nobility and Gentry of the surrounding Coun-
ties, is an advantage which few Fruiterers can boast of. His
extensive connections with Growers of Fruit renders him able
to meet every competitor. His Pines, which were placed before
his late Majesty, were pronounced the finest ever beheld. Also
his Forbidden Fruit, which ,could not be equalled in the
kingdom, has met with the same flattering praise by her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria this summer.
J. M. begs to offer to Country Dealers, ac., Grapes in
Barrels and Boxes, of superior quality ; Portugal Onions in
Boxes ; also 20 Barrels of fine Portugal Quinces, for preserv-
ing Marmalade, &c. ; fine Jamaica and East India Preserved
Ginger ; Limes and Tamarinds ; Ditto Jamaica ; fine Shad-
dock Marmalade, Guava Ditto, and Jelly.
Just landed, a few Quarter and whole Cartoons of New
French Plums, Pomegranates, and Spanish Melons.
Middlesvood's celebrated Botanic Oil for the Hair, 25.,
3s. 6d., and ss. per Jar.
To prevent an idea that where all the Choice Fruits are
sold, Inferior Fruits are not to be had at moderate prices,
comparison is the best test, and J. M. will sell good Foreign
Grapes, legal weight, at 6d. per lb. Olives, Capers, and a
great variety of Pickles and Sauces at London prices.

AN APPEAL FOR A POOR CURATE NEARLY
BLIND.
_ _ _

SOME friends of the ltev. J. W. Gowring, in considera-
tion of his very afflicted case having, without his know-
ledge, begun a private subscription in his behalf, it has been
determined to bring it before the Christian public, in the
hope that something will be done towards the support of a
very able minister of the Church of England, whose eyesight
has completely failed him for most of the duties of his office.
For, although he is just able to see his way in walking, he
cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what-
ever distinctly; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers,
that the case may even end in total blindness.
As his mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and
as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi-
nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and
by, he may meet with some occupation in the Church—as a
lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would
not be required of him ; and for this kind of duty he would
be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching. '
He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa-
voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every
comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent
advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu-
ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a
situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for
some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi-
ble means of recovery.
He is left without the least means of support, except £7
a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and
except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations
he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he
was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his
family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement
of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words :
" I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one
child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good Pro-
vidence should see fit to provide something for our support,
I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single
relation who is at all able to assist us, and the stipend arising
from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight.
" The prospect before me is but a melancholy one ast o
temporal concerns, and yet I feel persuaded that my present
affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious
purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par-
ticularly disturbed, as I firmly depend upon the word of
Jehovah, ' Trust in the Lord, and do good ; so that thou
shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.' "

DEAFNESS CURED.
1/f RS. GARDNER, AURIST, from London, respectfully
in- announces that she has extended her stay in Liverpool
for One Month. Mrs. G. may,
,shaw-street, until therefore,the be consulted on
All Disorders of the Ear, at /5, Reu
10th of November.
The success which has attended her practice during the
last fourteen years, in various parts of the United Kingdom
and on the Continent, having, by its innocence and efficacy,
insured her the confidence of the public and the patronage
of the Faculty (as attested by certificates both oral and do-
cumentary), any further comment on her part is unnecessary,
and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases
beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per-
sonally) without the usual fee.
The late Dr. G.'s Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology,
and Diseases of the Ear, may be had at her residence, as
usual.
Certificates from the Faculty.
From the opportunities I have had of witnessing Mrs.
Gardner's treatment of Deafness, added to the communica-
tions that have been made to me by others of the faculty, I
have no hesitation in recommending that lady to all who
may require her advice and assistance.

Case of Deafness Cured of Forty Years' Standing.
Having had frequent opportunities of witnessing the supe-
riority of Mrs. Gardner's treatment in patients that have
been placed under her care, both by myself and other mem-
ber of the faculty, I can with confidence recommend her to
all who labour under Deafness, or other Disorders of the
Aural Organs, and should be wanting in justice to this highly-
talented lady, were I not to certify the cure of J. Goslett,
Esq., No. 1, Old Merrion. This gentleman, having been
deaf fur forty years, was
pronounced incurable by more than
one eminent Aurist, and being now completely restored to
his hearing by Mrs. Gardner, has permitted me thus publicly
to announce it for the benefit of others.
J. W. GRAVES, M.D.
East London Eye and Ear Institution,
40, Wellclosc-square, 19th Sept., 1838.
Mrs. Gardner's successful mode of treating Deafness ap-
pears to me to depend as much on its mildness and innocence,
as on the speed with which its benefits are imparted to the
sufferer, and the simple fact of nine persons being cured out
of elven that I had recommended to her, needs no farther
comment. W. TRICE, Surgeon and Aceoucheur.

LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT SPRINGS, CLASPS, Or WIRES ;
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, AND FILLING
DECAY ED TEETII
WITH MINERAL MARMORATUM.
MONS. LE DRAY and SON, SURGEON-DENTISTS, of
60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, London, most re-
spectfully inform their Patients, the Nobility, Gentry, and
Inhabitants of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that they have
have OPENED an ESTABLISHMENT permanently at
No. 34, Bold-street, opposite the Rotunda, Liverpool,
where MONS. LE DRAY may always be personally con-
sulted, with the advantage of obtaining all the recent mo-
dern improvements in the Mechanical and Surgical depart-
ments of Dentistry, without the necessity of a journey to
London for that purpose.
MONS. LE DRAY AND SON
Respectfully acquaint their Patients, the Nobility, Gentry,
Clergy, and Inhabitants of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that
they continue to restore Decayed Teeth with their celebrated
Mineral Marmoraturn, so universally recommended by the
faculty of England, France, and throughout the Continent,
which substance they are the sole inventors and possessors of.
The operation is performed without the least pain, it is
placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few
seconds hardens into enamel, preventing and curing the
Tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying
in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the
operation of extraction unnecessary. They also fasten loose
Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from
neglect, the use of calomel, disease of the gums, or any
other cause.
Incorrodible Artificial or Natural Teeth of surpassing
beauty, to match equal in colour and shape those left in the
mouth, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting
the roots or giving any pain ; and they are so exactly formed
to nature, that the closest observer cannot detect the differ-
ence, as they never change colour, decay, or wear out ; will
continue securely fixed on the gums, perform mastication,
and assist articulation. They may also be taken out and
replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility.
In consequence of their improvements in the mechenical
departments of Dentistry, Monsieur Ls DRAY is enabled to
supply Artificial Teeth at the following Paris charges :
A Single Artificial Tooth £o 10s.
A Set
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, beautifully
mounted in artificial gums or fine gold, the
same as charged Thirty Guineas l5 15
An entire Set of Monsieur Le Dray and Son's
beautiful Mineral Teeth, highly finished in
the first style, the same as charged Forty
Pounds 2l 0
Arranged on a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossi-
ble to distinguish the artificial Teeth from the natural ones ;
answering most satisfactorily all the purposes of the original
Teeth in mastication and articulation, imparting to the
countenance a younger and improved appearance, protecting
the adjoining Teeth, and remaining perfectly secure in their
places.
The inconveniences attending the Loss of Teeth, are too
well known to require comment; but to those who have not
experienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Mons. LE DRAY
is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less
endured by every individual without them. When the
Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food;
and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being
masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing
indigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and
becomes weak in proportion as it no longer digests, besides
when the Teeth are gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth,
which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and
the whole features are completely drawn from their original
position. The Patent Incorrodible Teeth are constructed to
supply this defect of nature, and gradually to restore the
features to that uniformity so essentially requisite to a youth-
ful appearance and perfect•articulation.
To clergymen and public orators labouring under defective
pronunciation, through the loss of teeth, Mons. Le Dray's
method of replacing teeth will be found peculiarly valuable,
as it removes all defects of articulation, particularly the ina-
bility to give the proper sound to the dento-lingual double
consonant TH.
Artificial Teeth repaired, remodelled, and brought to their
former shape and appearance.
Artificial Palates of the most improved construction.
At home every day from Ten till Six.

tunda, Liverpool; and 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street,
