ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. •
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of 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 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
up 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 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 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.
A complete Set ............
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate .......................... 15 0 0
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 mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Se/en, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.
a-4r 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.

TO THE PUBLIC OP L'ZI7E,-iPOOL
--- AND ITS NEXOI-IBOURHOOD.
jAVING been appointed' to take the Management of
various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly
before you.
The very little support which even the most favoured of
them have received, considering the wealth and importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their
objects and -views not having been prominently brought be-
fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not
one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes
to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose
names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these
charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely
the name of one appears who might not subscribe something.
I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every
day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the following Associations.
JOSEPH CRISP, 33, Church-street.
Liverpool Protestant Association.
The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re-
ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free
circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of
Goa ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ;
all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath; all real
loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy
of the
Kiwi- or Queen of England within these realms, and
renounce, Ajure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any
foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or civil. This is
the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in
its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our
second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection
to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune
still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre-
judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word
of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught
that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to
be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and
highest allegiance top foreign ecclesiastical authority.
The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British
Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most
vital importance to the well-being of the country, and the con-
tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious liberty.
The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and
the circulation of Tracts, &e. containing useful and important
information. The Association being now in active opera-
tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of
the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That
all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being
members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng-
land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually,
or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be
Members of this Association."
Church Dilissionary Society.
The objects of this Society are to well known that it is
needless- now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore,
merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of
nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.

Hibernian Society.
The following facts are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people :
1.--There are in Ireland between two and three millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between five and six millions who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population . who are a large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So-
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it appeints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and h far
greater number of applications are received from them,
in the present state of the funds, can be complied with.
I.—The number of Dav-shools is 1157, cqntaining 91,066
Scholars, of whom .14,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents,
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So-
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except
where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin-
cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read
in the Schools, and portions committed to memory; and that
every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a
competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan
is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little
more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child--
or, if not, will you not do it i'
Lancashire Lord's Day Society.
The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among.
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend
them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour
of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people—
should combine in some effort (more powerful than could
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and. wasting flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which
should have for its object the amendment of public feeling
and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of
spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of
those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping
holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as
might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans-
gression of the country,
The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen-
tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.
Church Pastoral Aid Society.
This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver-
pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates
and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while
the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7.
Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than
she receives.
The three following societies are especially devoted to the
benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation
on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of
all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of
this port.
The Mariner's Church
Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are. limited, for
want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and
flatmen.
The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and Homily Society.
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that
purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices;
and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam-
boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip-
tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re-
sponse from all who. are interested in the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to' carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in'a
considerable loss.
Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish
.faititful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions.
Liverpool Jewish Institution.
The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
• • se I
may be protected- agamai. Ca,

Irish Sunday School Society,
To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.
Society for Promoting Christianity
sytsitahceie
nJtleyws.
explains 'its object.
The name of thainis Soonciag
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa-
viour whom they crucified.
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings
of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for
the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land.
There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
arc converted Jews.
The Society has the strongeit claims upon all Christians.
The whole income of all the above Societies together, in
the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula-
tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than
£3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could. afford ss. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing' to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; and this alone would
produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so
