SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratuns.
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-D-atists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have openid an Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to till up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their 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, 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
np the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are 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 remote 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 springs, wires, 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 £0 10 0
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 gold 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 month,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.

aeir For the convenience of country patients, Monsieur
LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete
set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or incon-
venience..

PHENOMENON OF SCENT.—OIL the whole Cheshire is a
good scenting country when the state of the atmosphere is
favourable. Maiden observes that the worst scent is gene-
rally on the marshes near the banks of the Mersey. This is
not a usual occurrence, because in Lincolnshire, Cambridge-
shire, and Yorkshire, especially near the sea, it is generally
found to be good. The extraordinary phenomenon of scent
appears to be as little understood as ever, although numerous
learned discoveries in other matters are daily expounded. I
have very little doubt that there are times when the earth
completely absorbs it, or, perhaps more properly speaking,
condenses it in a very short period, and that on other occa-
sions it arises above that height at which the olfactory nerves
of the hound can reach it. This theory may in some degree
be illustrated by following a person smoking; there are pe-
riods when the effluvia will be distinguished on a parallel
line with the point from which it is emitted, and there are
times when it will be distinguished most strongly either above
or below that point ; as fur instance, should a person on horse-
back be smoking a cigar, and another follow him on foot, the
scent of the tobacco may be strongly detected ; but a person
following on horseback may be scarcely able to discover it ;
whilst on other occasions it will be distinguished only by the
person following on horseback. I recollect a certain master
of hounds some years ago being exceedingly annoyed at peo-
ple smoking : he used to declare that it destroyed the scent;
but I cannot believe that it could descend from the height of
a man on horseback to the line on which a fox-hound hunts
his game. In moist weather there is usually a capital scent
in Delamere Forest, much better than that which is usually
found over such light soils. The coverts in Cheshire are
for the most part small : there are many beautiful pieces of
gorse rented by the club for the preservation of foxes; as a
matter of course, there is no difficulty in getting a start from
them. Hill Clift gorse, Wardle's gorse, Aston Park gorse,
and Filho gorse, are exceedingly well calculated for the pur-
pose they are intended for.—Old Sporting Magazine for
January.
