TO THE PUBLIC. In presenting the First Number of a Local Magazine to the Public, it is necessary to say a few words as to the objects sought to be attained by such a publication. Many interesting reports of Public Meetings and Historical Records are lost sight of for the want of a vehicle, or rather a "repository," for the storing away of facts and statistics with reference to local events, which in after years would become serviceable and interesting It is with a view of providing such a record for future reference that this magazine is started, and. while every attention will be paid to matters connected with the past, care will be taken that there shall be a sufficient 11 spice" of light reading for the present to relieve our publication from the charge of dullness, to which periodicals of the kind too frequently lay themselves open. As only a certain number of each month's issue will be published, and, in no case, will be reprinted, we give our readers this intimation in order that they may, by giving timely notice, secure a perfect volume for binding. We shall, at all times, be pleased to receive contributions concerning any matters of interest to Monmouthshire readers, as i t is intended to circulate the magazine generally throughout the county.

LEWIS MO>ELY and SON'S improved ARTI- JL F.CIAL TKtt R-H are, recommended by the most eminent of the medical profession as undeniably the best substitute tor the natural organs, securing, without possibility of the slightest pain, the greatest amount of ease and coin tort. Tluy are the lightest, strongest, most economical, and durable that can be produced, and are securely retained in the mouth without springs, wires, or large and cumbersome plates. For efficacy, utility, speech,mastica- tion, and the restoration of the original youthful appearance of the features, they are unrivalled. Their resmbiance to nature is so perlect as to frequently deceive the wearers themselves. Messrs. Mosely's speciality in the use of the gas enables them to guarantee a perfectly painless performance of all appertaining to dentistry with a speed, ease and comlort unobtainable by any other method, pain, unpleasantry, or danger being utterly impossible.—Dr. J. T. W. 'Ihudichuin, of the Pathological Laboratory, St. Thomas's Hospital, in the Times of the 16th of Aug' st, 1870, says It possesses all the advantages of chloroform to the exclusion of every disadvantage. It has no miell, and produces quickly, in four or five full inspirations, a perfect anossthesia, in which all operations can be performed without causing pain, and hardly a minute after the cessation of its inhalation its influence on the patienf has entirely disappeared. It never produces unpleasant sensations, choking, or sickness, and there has ever been a case of danger under its influence."

BARTON", of Raglan, -undertakes the cure of the above dreadful maladies by a specific, the recipe for which has been in his family- for a period of 500 years. St. Vitus's Dance, so called, proceeds from paralysis of the spine; affects seriously the whole nervous system, softens the brain, and ulti- mately ends in insanity. The medicine lie administers is very highly galvanised, and acts on the system in a manner like electricity. A cure is generally per- formed in 14 days, no matter how long standing the disease, or what the patient's age may be. The medicine is also a specific for Fits and all other nervous disorders; it strengthens the Brain and in- vigorates the system. Dr Barton has practised in Raglan for 34 years, and during that time has had 4000 cases, and never failed in one instance. Dr Barton was an articled pupil and partner for five years with that eminent physician the late Dr Moore, of Usk. Terms moderate-if no cure, no charge.
