One OF the oldest advertisements of olden
time, and apt 10 stir American patriotism we
gather, almost as a matter of course, from
Irish paper the Londonderry Journal, of April

The members of the dentistry persuasion"
may not be little surprised 10 be informed of
a TACT concerning one OF the pioneers in their
profession. In the year 1884 an advertisement
was published where in DR.. lie May heur, dentist,
proposed to the citizens of Philadelphia to trans
plant teeth; stating therein, that he had sue
cesstuly tTanspanted one hundred and twenty
three teeth in the preceding six months. At
the same time he offered two guiLeas for every
tooth from persons disposed TO sell their front
teeth, or any of them !n He was very success
ful in his operations, and realized considera-
Bile fortune. This anecdote reminds us of an
advertisement which appeared few years ago
in the Courier de Some et LORE, OF which the
following is translation. 1t is peculiarly

No one can read the Personals" of the city
daily without seeing into much OF the romance
Of everyday life. They are the very cream OF
the curiosities Of advertising. While other
classes deal with the outer movements of trade
business, and social needs, this deals only with
the secret springs OF individual action. Other
advertisements are addressed to the entire COM
munity, but a personal one Is generally intended
but for the eye of one individual and is, there

which constitutes peculiar charm. He who
