principal vocalists owes mach of his celebrity and success to
the use of certain mineral substitutes for his natural teeth,

fessitin altogether. He had from time to time procured various
sects of Artificial Teeth, but these were generally so unsuitably
arranged, and so improperly fixed, as to be of little•use; inas-
much that his pronunciation of the letters iv, v, s, h, t, and th,
was at all times defective, and sounded discordantly upon the
