DENTAL SURGERY.
DODGE q PARMELE,

MENTAL SURGEONS, of Bond street, New
- York, having practised the three past winters
in this city, respectfully announce to their friends
and the public that they have concluded to keep
their Washington office open during the entire year
| in future at their present location on
Pennsy ylrania ,Ape., bet,oeen 9th & 10h sts
where one or both of the partners may always be
found in attendance. They respectfully tender their
professional services to their friends and the public
and invite all who may require the advice and skill
of the experienced and practical Dentist to call
them learn their terms, and examine their claims to
public confidence and patronage. They would par
culary call attention to their patent methed of fast
enng artificial teeth when set on gold plate which
is used by them alone in the city Of Washington.
The most prominent advantages are the following
lst. 1t saves the pain attendant upon the removal
OF the roots of the front teeth when in healthy
condition, andsmakes those roots highly useful in
fastening the artificial teeth -
3D. Ii gives the teeth greater tirmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more USE
ful in the process of masticaton than the common
mode
Sd. II renders il easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
Of the fastenings, enable the wearer to keep them
always clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen IN order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. It is universally commend
ed by those who have availed themselves Of its ad
vantagcs.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. Is, ls43
DR.. ]. Smith Dodge, upon his arrival in Wash
ington to open an Office Surgeon Dentist, pre-
sented to me letters from several friends in New
York of the highest responsibility and standing, CON
tanning the strongest and most favorable testmoni-
ais both to the excellence of his private charac-
ter, and his superior professional qualifications
These satisfactory evidences of the man and the
Dentist induced me at once to engage the profess
sional services of Mr. Dodge for my own family !;
and my wife and myself are now able, from person.
al experience, to add our own equally favorable tes-
timony in his favor as gentleman and skilful
Dentist. This testimony is thus given by me, as
well in obedience to the earnest solicitations of re-
spectacle and worthy friends in New York, who
have for many years experienced the skill and fdel
ty of the Doctor in his profession, as to my conyic-
tons Of his personal and professional merit.

AT a recent meeting of the New York Far

from gentleman oftfat city, recounting his ex-
perience in preserving grapes in wheat bran,
kiln-dried, which had proved perfectly satisfacto-
ry. DIR. U. stated that he had put up 100 pounds
of Isabella grapes in the bran, and sent them to
Mobile. About two months attcrward, he learn
ed that they reached their destination perfectly
sound. The next year he tried the same expert.
ment again, and failed on account of the bran
not having been kiln-dricd. The Doctor said
that fruits could be preserved in almost any sub.
stance which is perfectly dry, so that it may alb
sorb the moisture of the fruit. After being pack
ed, fruits or vegetables should ofcourse be kept
in a spot as cold as possible without freezing
the temperature should not be lower than 80 de-
grecs nor higher than 35.-Rochcster American
