ANT) FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL MAIIMORATUM.

AIONS. LE Y & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and in habitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perm°,
nently at No. 70, SI;.EL-sTREET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, beat,
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 out 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 disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none inure destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more 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-
olieation without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of mastication 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

An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me-
tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually

Lrose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most
complete that has ever been issued from the press—indeed,
we may say the most complete. Utility and simplicity are
the main objects which the author has kept in view. A per-
fect mastery of the instructions which Mr. Foster has given,
will enable any one to take down ta•-batint, the words of the
must rapid speaker. or is this the only advantage which
will accrue from an acquaintance with this system, the faci-
lity with which the notes may be afterwards read is a consi-
deration of very great importance. The alphabetical cha-
racters have the recommendation of extreme simplicity.
The signs for combination of letters, and the arbitraries, or
marks fur words, will be found highly conducive to expedi-
tion in writing. In this department the author has been
wish to master the useful art of stenography, we can cordi-
ally eminentlyreco m successful. Lid t
his To Ladies or Gentlemen who may
work, by which a student of ordinary
ability, especially if a quick writer, maybe enabled in a very
short time to takedown literal reports of sermons and speeches.
We may add, that the professional short-hand writer may
also derive much instruction from this compendium.—Liver-
pool Standard.
"This is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well writ-
ten production. Generally speaking, works on stenography
are not sufficiently entertaining and attractive to obtain nu.
merous readers; but we will do Mr. Foster the justice to say,
that be has thrown much that is highly-interesti g in his
" plain instructions," and has very happily blended the enter-
taining with the useful. Our author's principal object ap-
•pears to be to instruct the uninitiated; but we think his work
wilt prove valuable in many respects even to those whose
profession it is to practise the art. Of course his system must,
in a great measure, partake of those previously in existence,
but as regards the distinctness and decision of his vowel cha-
racters, it is superior to any we have seen. I-lis examples
and illustrations'are also exceedingly good, and the various
lessons are given with a plainness and perspicuity which
must greatly facilitate the learner's progress. In short, to
all who are anxious to obtain a speedy and accurate know-
ledge of the art of stenography, we earnestly recommend the
work."—Manchester Courier.

" We are of opinion that the last essay on stenography
must almost of necessity be the best, a nd that the person most
qualified to treat of it is a practical reporter. Mr. Foster's
enthusiastic admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a
little too far; but it by no means detracts from the value of
information derived from his own personal observation and
experience as a reporter, which is now offered to the public
in a cheap and accessible form."—Liverpool Mercury.
" We can with confidence pronounce Mr. Foster's system
a good one. Constant practice is absolutely necessary for
any one who wishes to be a first-rate short-baud writer, either
on this or ou any other system; but we believe that a
thoroughly practised writer of short-hand would find it easier
to follow a rapid speaker with this than with any othet system.
It also possesses the very great advantage of being easily
readable when written."— Liverpool Times..

" From a hasty glance through the pages, w•e pronounce it
excellent."—Lancashire Herald.

" Mr. Fos►er we know has had much practical experience
in the art, and it is practical experience alone that can
enable an individual to form a correct :udgment of any par-
ticular system. Mr. Foster has, it appears, tried three seve-
ral systems, and has fixed upon that which he deems the best.
Ou this he has made such. improvements as, in the course
of his practice, seemed best calculated to secure facility.
With his judgment matured by constant consideratio❑ of
the subject, he tells us that. the system which he has now
presented to the public possesses many advantages over
those most in use, with which he is acquainted.—Liverpool
Albion.

" We think its alphabetical characters are extremely sim-
ple, and that the signs for pluralities of letters, and the ar-
hit raries, which are more peculiarly the autlaor's own improve-
ments, are highy conducive to expedition, without inducing
any corresponding difficulty in deciphering. While Mr. Fos-
tees arbitraries and double and triple consonants are more
numerous than those of other systems that we have met with,
they seem all well adapted for practice, and if so, they cannot
but be regarded as a material aid to the short-hand writer.''
Liverpool Courier.
Mr. Foster, in this little work, has given to the worli the
result of his own practical experieuce as a short-hand writer.
In the two great requisites of short-hand writing—expeditio❑
and an easy facility in deciphering the characters when writ-
ten—the present system is superior we conceive, to most of
the popular works on the same subject. Persons wishing to
give the requisite application to the study of short-hand, will
find in Mr. Foster's manual everything they require. The
practicability of the system is best tested by Mr. Foster's re-
putation as an accomplished stenographer. Livet pool Chro-
nicle.

`lt is our opinion that the reporter is a far more efficient

tutor in the art of stenography than they who, however welt
acquainted with it theoretically, have but little practice; be-
cause in the former case you are most likely to be presented
with a system perfected to the point of practical utility. while
in the latter it is ten to one but you are taught a system which
is found to fail upon trial, and which may require years of
alteration, amendment, and practice to render it serviceable.
We must admit that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a very
excellent one;_ that its capabiltes are equal to all demands
upon it is evident from his own practice; and that it is laid
down clearly mad judiciously, will be apparent to any one
who peruses the book."—Liverpool Journal.
"The little knowledge we possess of this very useful art
enables ns to state that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a
very practical and easy one, and therefore a very good one.
The work is cheap and very intelligible, and we have no
hesitation in recommending it to those who are desirous of
becoming proficionts in the art, and to all who desire to have
any knowledge of. it."—Metropolitan Conservative Journal and
Church of England Gazette.
