ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
H. PARSONS, SURGEON DENTIST, 16, Parker-
• street, corner of Clayton-square, (late 94, Bold-street,)
wishes to call the attention of the Public to a new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, possessing the two important
qualities of being Incorruptible and an exact Imitation of
Nature. Nothing but the strongest prejudice can hinder any
one, who has once worn these Teeth, from prefering them to
all others, both as regards appearance and economy.
J. H. P.'s system of stopping Teeth with pure Gold will be
found to stand the test of years, and be much preferable to
all cement fillings, which lever arrest the progress of decay.
PARSONS'S TOOTH POWDER for preserving the
Teeth and Gums in a sound and healthy state, is sold at Is.
6d. a box, by RAWLE, Chemist. Church-street; TITHER-
INGTON, Chemist, Oxford-street, Ahercromby-square ; and
PARSONS, Perfumer, Bold-street.

Elizabeth, but picked up from the wreck, brought to this
town, washed and kiln-dried, and now in the hands of those
Tea Dealers and Grocers who profess to supply the inhabi-
tants with Genuine Teas, nothing can be more desirable than
an opportunity being afforded to Families and Respectable
Dealers of
PURCHASING THEIR TEAS DIRECT FROM THE
