IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLORINE
TOOTH WASH

TTNHE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and
IL its uses, by Labarraque, Of Paris, was an
addition to the resources ofmedicine OF the nj
most importance as a neutralizing agent
To counteract at once the principle of decay.
which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga
theirs strength, and finally destroys, is the i'm
portant service which can be derived from the
use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered
with skill and care. The diseases of the Teeth
being, in the great majority of cases. the result
of neglect and gradual accumulation of the
principle above alluded to, it became obvious.
from the earliest experiments that the Chloride
was the proper remedy and preferable to pow
ders, dentrifices, &C., of whatever kind or pre-
tension. BY a chemical analysis, il will be
found that the greater proportion of the Chic
rine Compounds so extensively in use, do not
contain particle of the Chloride of Soda, on
the agency of which their efficacy must neces-
sarily depend.
This article is confidently offered to the eX
animation ofthe public as possessing in an en-
inent degree the virtue of neutraIizlng all that
is offensive in the mouth and breath, removing
soreness and sponginess of the gums, destroying
the faint of tobacco, or any other effiuvia from
whatever cause. In short, this preparation will
be found to justify the various commendatoY

SBUSY BODY,S.n

There is a certain class of individuals in eve
ry town and village, whose greatest pleasure
consists in prying into the affairs Of their neigh
bors, and whose especial province it is to pro-
mulgate them to the world. These disinteresfed
benelactors of mankind know more of your own
business than you do YOURSELF and will relate TO
you events that have transpired in your house
hold, of which but for their laudable vigilance,
you might have remained in perfect ignorance
forever. There is nothing that escapes their
observation, from the cellar to the garrett
The multfariouS transactions of the kitchen
and the qualifications of the laundry, which, to
me, were always as mysterious as the complex
doctrine of notification, or the machinery of a
steamboat, are as familiar to them as to the pre-
siding Dieties of your pots, kettles, and rash
tubs The most insignificant and unimportant
sayings Of the drawing room are treasured up
by these interchangeable busy bodies, & circulated
throughout the neighborhood with an earnest
ness, which would seem to imply that their
very existence depended upon their dssem-
ination. They usurp alike the prerogative
of the chGmbermaid and the boot black. They
can tell the exact quantity OF cream or sugar
which every member Of your family uses in
his tea-whether you drink out of china or pro-
celain-w whether you breakfast quarter before
six or eleven minutes and halt after nine o.
clock. They know the dimension of your cof
fee pot, the color of you night cap, and can tell
with the most unerring precision the number Of
holes in your stockings. They are intimately
acquainted with all your habits, tastes, and &C.
Centricities and can enumerate every article of
Your wardrobe, describe its quality, and tell
what it cost, where it was purchased, and whe-
Their it has been paid for or not The services
OF these people are not, we expect, so well ap-
preciated by the community as they Deserve
But for their untirng industry in collecting fami-
~ incidents, and retailing them to the public,
