FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM, FOR LIVERPOOL
AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD:
PATRON :
The Right Rev. the Lord BISHOP of CHESTER.
PATRONESSES:
The Right Honorable the Countess of SEFTON.
The Right fit norable the Lady STANLEY.
The Right Honorable the Lady FRANCES SANDON.
The Right Honorable Lady SKELMERSDALE.
The Honorable Mrs. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM.
VICE-PATRONS:
• JOSHUA WALMSLEY, Esq., Mayor of Liverpool.

Rev. THOMAS Moss, Vicar of Walton.
VISITORS :
Rev. WILLIAM HESKETH. Rev. JAMES HASSALL.
TN addition to the Charitable Institutions already existing
1 in Liverpool and the neighbourhood, for the relief of the
various wants of the poorer classes,it is proposed to establish
a FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
In the Metropolis, such an institution is amongst the
splendid monuments of its public munificence, and has been
the means of rescuing thousands of orphan females from the
paths of misery and vice, of implanting the principles of
Christian knowledge, and sending them forth into the world
respectable and useful members of society.
To what extent a similar institution may be established
here must depend on the bounty bestowed upon it. Children
are ever objects of the dearest social interest. If poor, that
interest increases in proportion to the penury of their condi-
tion—if not only poor, but parentless, their state of destitu-
tion excites still greater sympathy, and, in a corresponding
degree, will their claims be estimated for support and pro-
tection, upon those whom God has blessed with the ability
to relieve them.
" Suffer little children to come unto me," evinced the
especial regard of our Blessed Saviour, who at the same time
declared " of such is the kingdom of Heaven." It is also
his assurance that " he who receives one of such little
children in my name receiveth me." The Psalmist repeat-
edly sings the praises of God as the helper and father of the
fatherless, and " to visit the fatherless in their affliction" is
pronounced by St. James to be one of the graces of " pure
and undefiled religion."
Such are the powerful incentives to our exertions in this
work of Christian charity. Should its petition for encou-
ragement be met by the plea of too many similar requisitions,
let us remember that we are enjoined " not to be weary in
well doing," and " to do good whenever we have an oppor-
tunity."
As soon as sufficient funds are raised, it is proposed to
commence with twenty or thirty pupils, by taking a house for
the purpose in Toxteth Park, that being considered the most
airy and healthy situation.
The children will be brought up in the principles of the
Established Church, and will receive a suitable education to
fit them for domestic service.
At a competent age, they will he apprenticed, as in the
London Asylum, as servants in the families of subscribers,
or in other respectable families. It will also be an important
object to watch over their future progress, and to promote
their continual welfare, when deserving. With this view,
when under the necessity of changing their places, they will
be assisted in procuring others, and temporary accommoda-
tion will be afforded them, if practicable—thus keeping them
under the constant guardianship of the Institution.
The following Ladies have consented to act as a
PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE :
Mrs. Aikin, Great George-street.
Mrs. Harmood Banner, Dingle Mount, Toxteth Park.
Mrs. Thomas Brancker, South Hill Place, Toxteth Park.
Mrs. William Foster, Dingle Head, Toxteth Park.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Martnoratum.
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO.' S st

respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry'
-and
Inhabitants
Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill 'the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral M tum without the
least pain, heat, or pressure- ; 'it is almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, palranicedainto' the cavity in
pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral 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
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the yarious disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructiw 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 the 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 application, 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 sprtngsticires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest:facility,—
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine guld sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.
Ver For the convenience of country patients, Monsieur
La DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete
set of Teeth at one aitting, without the least pain or ineon-
Yenience.
