LEWIS MOSELY and SON s improved ARTI- FICIAL TEETH are recommended by the"most eminent of the medical profession as undeniably the best substitute for the natural organs, securing, without possibility of the sligh est pain, the greatest amount of ease and comfort. They are the lightest, strongest, most economical and durable that can be produced, and are securely retained ii| the mouth without springs, wires, or lar,*e and cumbersome plates. For efficacy, utility, speech,mastica- tion, and the restoration of the original youthful appearance of the features, they are unrivalled. Their resmblance to nature is so perfect 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 aud comfort unobtainable by any other method, pain, unpleasantry, or danger being utter y impossible.—Dr. J.

It possesses all the advantages of chloroform to the exclusion of every disadvantage. It has no juiell, and produces quickly, in four or five full inspirations, a perfect anoesthesia, in which all operations can be oerl'ormed without causing pain, and hardly a minute aft-e'r the cessation of its inhalation its influence on the patient has entirely disappeared. It never produces unpleasant sensations, choking, or sickness, and there has ever been a case of danger under its influence."
