Mr. Thomas coniinues to SUPPLY THE LOSS OF TEETH without Springs or Wires, upon his new system of SELF-ADHESION, which has procured him such universal approbation, and is iecommended by numerous physicians and surgeons as being the most ingenious system of supplying aiti- ficial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums or remaining stumps witbouj causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extracting quite unnecessaiy. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk, from the use of calomel, or other causes. He also begs to invite those not liking to undergo any painful opera- tion,as practised by most members of the profession, to inspec- his painless, yet effective, system and in order that his improve- ments may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same moderate charges.

PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, LONDON TEAS. 4 S we are now celebrated in the metropolis for supplying Ii. Good and Pure Teas, and in order that the advantages we hold out may be equally appreciated in the country, we feel called upon to prove the following very important facts, viz.:— That the higher priced Teas are the cheapest, and that the worst trash of Teas imported into this kingdom, are not retailed in London, but find their way into the country, and so into the tea-pot of the country consumer. With respect to the importation of Tea, it should be univer- sally known, and alwa)s borne in mind, that the expense of bringing Tea over from China, and the duty, (namely 2s. 2|d. per pound) payable to our Government on its arrival here, are the same on all descriptions, whether good or bad consequently the purity and goodness of Teas depend on the prices first paid for them when purchased in China from the growers. It is necessary, therefore, that all should be aware that in this country the quality of Tea increases more than the advance of prices would appear to justify, as for instance—the tea costing in China 2s. per pound, which (when the duty, namely 2s. 2|d. per pound, and the expense of carriage, profit, &c., is added) cannot be sold here under 4s. 6d. per pound,.is evidently Twice as Good as that costing in China Is., which, when the duty, &c., is added, cannot be sold here under 3s 6d. per pound, so that whilst the price increases only about one-fourth, the Tea becomes twice as good in quality. Having now made it manifest that the fine or higher prices Teas are the cheapest, we will direct attention to the following fact as corroborative of the statement that the vilest rubbish foisted on the public as Tea." has been, to aninciedibleextent, vended in the country. Between January 1st, 1843, and June, 1844, there have been sold, at the Tea Auctions, in Mincing Lane, at prices varying from one penny to sixpence per pound, 3,417,850 pounds of trash, dignified by the name of "Tea," which, after passing through various hands, nas at length found tbe country its prin- cipal channel of consumption. No one at all conversant with the sanitary properties of the Tea-Plant, its beneficial effects when good, and its pernicious consequences when bad, can fail to be struck with the incalcu. lable injury to health that must have resulted from the known consumption of the above. To prevent a grievance so truly deplorable in its consequences \Vr\i m,°R out,ve have resolved to stipplv direct from NUMBER ONE, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, our ami M61"; 31 an unParre11^ smallness of profit, o .1! Ck ?Se residinS at a distance from London, o procure the best quality of Teas at very near the same prices they are now paying for the worst, and so afford them all the advan, ages which the London consumers possess, who purchase from the direct source of supply. v Jo carry this into effect, so as to be most advantageous and most convenient, we shall be happy to put up the Tea for those lamilies who may unite together in favouring us with an order 111 parcels containing any quantity they may desire, and if re- quired,the orders ot shopkeepers will be packed in cases contain- ing two ounces and so on to a pound upwards. COFFEES. As we are those on whom the honour devolved of carrying out the philanthropic measures of Government, in the recent Re- duction of the Duties on Coffee, we are determined to maintain unequalled our character for the combination of excellence and cheapness in that article, and thus fulfil the observation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, in his financial statement during the last session, announcing a further REDUCTION of the DUTY to 6d. per pound, said—" It is mosr important to extend the use ot a beverage which is a great luxury to all classes, and which, in addition, is found to supersede other be- verages detrimentil to health." We would now draw attention to the prices of a few Teas and Coffees that we can confidently recommend for general consump- tIon, YIZ. OurJine full flavoured Black Tea at 4s. per lb.

EVERY DAY' WITH ABUNDANT PROOF THAT THERE IS A CURE FOR ALL!! st/[«VV 5 y yt,. ,AJ\-? HOLLOWAY'S OSNTMENT. AN ALMOST MIRACULOUS CURE OF A BAD LEG Of five years' standing. The patient had been discharged from Guy's Hospital, without deriving the least benefit from that Institution. MRS. FRY,residing at No^-Vrrafilgar-street, Walworth London, was some time since admitted as an In-door pa- tient at Guv's Hospital, with a bad leg of five years' standing. The flesh of the leg was in many places neaily as hard as bone, it resembled in appearance the trunk of an old tree, being in knots and lumps it was greatly swollen, and had Nme fright- ful Ulcers in it; she derived no benefit whatever at the Hospital, and returned to herhoine- Her case was so bad, that for three years she was cairied up and down stairs every day like a child, being perfectly helpless. She was in this deplorable state, when she commenced the use of Holioway'.i Ointment & Pills, which in the course of about Three Months, performed a perfect cuie, when every other means proved unavailing. A MAN'S FACE PRKVENTED FROM BEING EATEN AWAY. By Cancerous Sores, bit means of Hollow ay's Ointment iSf Pills. JAMES WEBB, a brewer'# drayman, residing in Robin Hood Court, Leather Lane, Holborn, London, had a large hole, which wont through his cheek, and several other ulcers, which were on both sides of his face, eating all the flesh from it. He had been an in-door patient in Charing Cross Hospital, for six months, without being able to get a cure. He expected that no. thing could save his life, until he was advised, as a last resource, to use Hoiloway's Ointment and Pills, which immediately stayed the ravages of this terrible complaint, and ultimately healed all the Cancerous Sores, and with the exception of frightful marks in his face, he is as well as ever he was. A CASE OF LOATHSOME SKIN DISEASE, Attended with dreadful swellings of the whole body, that had re- sisted the treatment of nearly all the Hospitals of London, cured by Hoiloway's Ointment and Pills. A child, five years of age, named JONE. whose father is a shoe-maker, living at No. 4, Horse Shoe Alley, Wilson-street, Finsbu. y, had beenarnicte;. from the age of lti months,with fear. ful and dveadtul swellings all over her body, which used to affect her periodically at such times her face would change its color, and remain perfectly black; her body was always covered with large malignant sores. For this unknown complaint, the child was taken by her mother to nearly all the Hospitals in London, and most of the surgeons of eminence; none appeared to under- stand her disease, and she got no better from their treatment.

There is no disease to which the mouth is liaWe more de- structive than Scurvy in the Gums; the loss of Teeth is more to be attributed to it than any other cause, for it is the primary source of decay in them.

IMPORTANT CHEMICAL DISCOVERY FOR CLEANING GOLD AND SILVER PLATE JEWELLERY, SILVER PLATED GOODS, &c. Without Wearing or Injuring the Precious Metal in the Slightest Degree, rf'H E following Letter from Dr. Cre. the eminent chemist, at Ji once establishes the alue of this new discovery i L—Co!d or Silver Plate, however tarnished, is polished in. stantaneously. without trouble. 2.— file loss of the pure metals by friction is entirely avoided. ^'lver Plate, when cleaned, presents a pure white or virgin Mjvtry appearance, of the greatest brilliancy, and will remain itl this state for a much greater length of time than when cleaned with the ordinary plate powders. 4—1 iie mass of pure metal is not at all injured by this prepa. ration, as is the ca>e with the quicksilver mixtures. Plate may be cleaned daily wiih the Silvo-Galvanic Cream, and at the end o: twelve months will be found not to have lost a grainof its ori- ginal weight; I have examined the preparation invented by Messrs- JONES, for cleaning Silver, called Silvo-Galvanic Cream, and find it to be safe, effectual, and instantaneous in its operation. BEING ForNDEn ON CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES, it merely removes the tar- nish on plate, and restores the white silver lustre without abrad- ing or wearing the precious metal in the slightest degree. ANDREW URE, M.D., F.R.S., &c. Professor of Chemistry, and Analytical Chemist. London, 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square, 8th March, 1845. Certification of Messrs. RIPPON and BURTON. Gentlemen,-We have given your valuable discovery a fair trial, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the belot com- I pound we have ever tried for cleaniug Gold and Silver WITHOUT FRICTION, OK WEARING AWAt THE METAL, and shall accept the agency for its sale with great pleasure. (Signed; RIPPON and BURTON, Furnishing Ironmongers. Oxford-street, May 22nd, 1S45. This extraordinary discovery must, before many months have elapsed, become of general use in the establishment of every no- bleman and gentlemaa in the kingdom. It is indeed remarkable that gentlemen possessing large quantities of valuable Plate should so long have allowed the use of such destructive com- pounds as the ordinary Piate Powders, for cleaning and polishing articles rendered invaluable as HISTORICAL FAMILY RECORDS of some interesting or important event. If any person would test for himself the truth of these remarks, be has only to .tbserve the action of quick-silver: when placed in contact with pure gold or sil ver, it combines with the pure metals, and ultimately renders them as brittle as pewter. This result will explain the cause of the numerous accidents aiising from the slightest blow or fall, when plates of silver, chased and worked at immense expence, are broken into.pieces like glass the fragments being considera- bly less valuable than the unwrought metal, until by a difficult and tedious process the silver is repuritied. But this is not the only evil arising from the amalgatrlation of quicksilver with the pure metal. Persons ignorant of the laws of chemistry have en- couraged the use of corrosive Plate Powders, for giving a bril- liant polish to silver; whereas the s'lver is not at all polished, the surface being only covered with a coating of quicksilver, which, from its great affinity for oxygen, will remain brilliant only for an hour; and, consequently, before the article polished can be again used, rvill require another rubbing or filing away of this corroded surface, to be replaced by a fresh layer of the quick. silver, until layer after layer of the pure metal is taken away, gradually reducing it to a thin and paltry plate, fitting it only for the crucible of the silver smith. fn large establishments, where plate in considerable quantity is cleaned, it is customary for persons to purchase the old rags, or wash-leather, which have been used for cleaning plate, in order to sell them to silver or gold refiners, who derive no inconsidera. ble profit from the pure metal contained in these dirty leathers or rags. Plate may be Cleaned daily with this Compound, and at the expiration of twelve months,will be found not to have lost a grain of its original weight! It is of little consequence whether the article to be cleaned has been laid by for days or years, whether it be only discoloured, or tarnished as black as a hat immediately on the application' of the SILVO-GALVANIC CREAM, the discolouration is re- moved, and then, with a soft and clean wash-leather, a most brilliant and virgin-white polish may be produced. In chased silver, the deepest nook and corner, where dirt and corrosion are so difficult to remove, become equally polished with the level surface, by simply using a soft plate brush. The manner of using it is so simple that a child may in a few seconds, produce a polish which, in the ordinary way, could not be given by an experienced plate-cleaner in as many hours.
