AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERALfiA HAMRA. TuNi.
MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Deflpsts, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitantiof Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, 5 EEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral 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 the breath which invaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disoiders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises snore 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 ap-
plication without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from
one to a complete sct, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of masticati,m and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla-
ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me-
tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged Forty Guineas

Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Ar-
tificial teeth out of repair, remodelled►-to fit the mouth, and
restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state.

had gone nearly down : be however finished the box, and
bought a second, and came this day (March 23, 1838) to say
that he had taken the second box of Pills, and that he was
well, free from swelling, and able to use his band as usual.
This. Sir, is not the only ease of touch benefit 1 have been

to inform you of the same, and hopes others may be induced
to try such a valuable medicine for Rheumatism or Gout.

The following is a'copy of a letter which, we learn with
pleasure, was circulated in, Constantinople and Persia„od-
dressed to Mr. M`Neill by the American missionaries. Two
members of this excellent body made a long and hazardous
journey to Tabriz, for the purpose of thanking Mr. Nl‘Neill
personally for the protection he had afforded them during
their residence in that country. It is, indeed, a high tribuka
not less to the extent of our influence in Persia than to the
object to which it is directed; and we hail it at this moment
with peculiar satisfaction as emanating from American citi-
zens :

`To his Excellency John M'Neill, her Britannic Ithij,sty's
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the
Court of Persia.

" Sir,—Permit me to express to you the sincere regret we
feel that we are unable to do ourselves the pleasure of seeing
your excellency before you may leave this count' y.
"One of my colLaagues, as Well as myself, went iu Tabriz,
soon after we heard of your expected departure, in the Impe
that one of us at least might meet yon there; hut circum-
stances beyond our control compelled us to re torn -before
your arrival, and we now find it hardly practicable -NC lea-re
our families, and repeat the journey.
"Permit me, therefore, to take this method of es 7r,ss,iny,
to you, in behalf of myself and our mission, our vii
sense of obligation to your excellency, alike for ye' s o;a1 and
official favours—to the gentlemen of your suite and f!,:tach-
ment, with the most of whom we have the pleasirie inf ac-
qualnlance, for their many kind and polite attentions-4ml
to the very powerful and revived government which y.,, ',-
represent, for the efficient protection which it lias ;ifrasled uw
and our object during our residence in this countr.
"We should most heartily regret your intended departure,
did we not confidently hope and expect that, as a coi;seenence
of this and attended measures; British influence will soion be
re-established in this country on a firm and.advaniageo'.s: totsis;
and while we would not meddle with party poidies, ),,t, ns
philanthropists and as Christians, we do not rejoice whenever ire
behold indications of the exte»sion of English itllneoce in
Asia; for we feel confident that such indications prownt the
surest glhunsan pledges of the amelioration of both the lewpufai
and eternal prospects of men in any countries thus effected.
" Were we to reside at Tabriz, we believe that; it having
been known that we have enjoyed English prot,tion, the
moral influence of the English name might be sufficient still
to protect us. But situated as we are in this r,notte town,
which has never been the residence of Europeans hir,any
considerable period, and is fearlessly infested aiih lawless
Looties, it is our decided opinion that pi udence requiics us
to make some arrangement for additional security foi,otti selves
and families on the departure of your mission. And we beat
you to suggest to the Rev. Mr. Merrick who hopes to 'meet
you in Tabriz, and will act as your agent in the ease, any
measures which you may (teem proper to be taken, and atrold
him all the assistance which may be found necessary to smite
the object.
"Fervently praying_that abundant blessings m4y rest on
you Personally, and that complete success may attend tour
excellency's official measures, and with sentiments -of un-
feigned gratitude and respect, I beg to remain, sir, sour very
obedient servant, _ (Signed)_ _ _

SPIRIT SHOPS IN GLASGOW.—In his evidence Lefore the
select committee of the house of conitnons on cionhination of
workmen, Mr. Sheriff Alisons says :—" I may mention one
fact to the committee, which will illustrate the extent to ithicli
the use of whisky is carried [in Scotland.] In London., the
proportion of public-houses to other houses is as one to tilt -
six; in" Glasgow, it is as one to ten. Every tenth house in
Glasgow is a snit it shop. I should say, as far as. my st,itis-
tical researches have gone, that the propoition of i bi,ky di link
in Glasgow is twice or thrice as much as in any similar lopti-
lation upon the face of the globe."
FOREIGN FINERY.—A fellow named Felix Woods, pith
his wife, is now victimising the unwary in this neighbourhood.
Ile lately-called at the house of a rev. gentleman in this
town, when a servant came to the door, and he iffered her for
sale or barter "a valuable shawl." The maid, listening like
mother Eve, to his tale, was about to give him in exchange
for his splendid panoply 19s. in cash, and a shawl value from
14s. to 16s. But before she had time to pay the money, her
mistress came in, and at once discovering the fraud. insisted
that her servant should not pay a farthing, requesting at
same time the return of the maid's shawl, which he had lied
up in his bundle. This he refused to do, and left the house,
declaring he would proceed against the lady or her husband
for the payment of the 19s. This threat, (such_ \vas -his Ton -
summate impudence) he soon fulfilled, by employing a legal
gentleman in this town, who soon perceived the dishonesty of
the transaction, and dismissed him with costs. The 'eel value
of the itinerant's mohair shawl was from ss. 6d. to (The

of their honest wages, is both father and mother of this fraud.
