earnestly entreats the attendance of the Members of the

destitution.
The Chair will be taken at Seven o'clock precisely.

SCURVY TN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED,
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED,

WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.

AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL MARMORATUM

MONS: LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, S gEL-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 disorders 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 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-
plication 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 fiy 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.
Attendance from nine till seven, and on Sundays from nine
till two.

TO MR. HECTOR, SURGEON, GREAT NEWTON-

SIR' it is with great regret
that
circumstances render it
imperative upon me (thus publicly) to vindicate my pro-
fessional respectability against your misrepresentations rela-
tive to the successful operation performed upon the person.
of Mr. James Bramwell, of Allerton.

You have stated, sir, to individuals of great respectability
that you, not 1, operated in this particular instance. I have
applied to you, as a friend, either to deny or remove any
misrepresentations made by you, or any exaggeration to
which your remarks may have bees subjected. Now, Sir, I
again ask you, through the medium of this public journal,
(as the operation was one of no ordinary occurrence,) by
whom was it performed ? I seek this opportunity to elicit
from you such candour, which, in justice, is due to me, not
only as a professional man, but a respectable member of
society and a lover of truth.
I ant, dear sir,
Your obedient servant,
ItOBT. J. SIBBALD, Surgeon.
