LOSS of TEETH. - A new and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17 George Street, Hanover Square. It is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. - The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's New Discovery.
