EFFICIENCY OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH. The inventions of Messrs.

STOPPINGS FOR TEETH. More Teeth are sacrificed by the use of injurious Stop- pings, having high sounding names, than by any other process. These stoppings invariably contain quicksilver or some other injurious substance, which slowly but surely undermines the tooth it was intended to save. Gabriel's Chemically prepared White Gutta Percha Enamel Is the best Stopping extant for Decayed Teeth, Tooth- ache, and, no matter how far decayed, renders the injured member again sound and useful, and prevents tooth-aclie. This preparation is entirely free from any metallic sub. stance, and, as its name signifies, is specially prepared for the purpose.
