This is an elegant and pleasant preparation IN every

satisfaction wherever it has been used.
The Antiseptic Dentr6ce is exempt from ACID ana ana
other deleterous ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition of tooth powders IN common
use and II wh;tens the enamel OF the teeth without
doing it the least injury The regular use OF TINS ao
mred powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar operates as the best pre-
,en.iye of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifce removes
dscoloratons and the beautiful native white
ness of the enamel. As its application braces and
strengthens the Gums secures to them their healthy

sccumuIatons from the teeth, preserves the natural

But he had no alternative. No one else would
move. There seemed to be no disposition IN
any other quarter to bring forward any plan OF

measure he should propose, had done SO under
the belief that the distress of the country requlr-

submit the plan which had received the sanction
of majority of the Committee on Finance,

not fail to do justice to the motives which had
