LOSS OF TSETBi Aleosrs. Thomas and Howard continue to supply the loss of TEETH without Springs or Wires, upon their new systeia ot SELF-ADHESION, which has procured them such universal approbation, and is uecomrpended by numerous physicians and surgeons as being the most ingenious system of supplying arti- ficial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums or remaining stumps, without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extracting quite unnecessary. 1 hey are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the turns have shrunk, from the use of calomel, or other causes. They also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painful opera tion,as practised by most members of"ihe profession, to inspec- their painless, yeteffective, system; and in order that their im- provements may be within the reach of the most economical, they will continue the same mode'ate charges.

GRAND PICTURE EXHIBITIONS r OF TIIB PRINCIPAL CITIES OF EUROPE. ANNOUNCEMENT THE Proprietors of the Illustrated London ISews are sgain enabled to make one of those joyous announcements to their readers, which are ever sources of pleasure, in the propor- tion in which their fulfilment tends to the ptofit and enjoyment of the public. The perfect honesty of principle and purpose with which the above journal has continued its career, has maintained for it the undeviating confidence of those who placed reliance upon its early promise, and have had no reason to regret their trust. This is the boast of the proprietors; and it will be seen that they uphold their right to it. It was ia this spirit that—destined little to profit, but much to please-they prepared those magnificent commemorations of their early pa'ronage. and afterwards confirmed prosperity— the Grand View of London-and superb Panorama of the Thames—presented, at fitting intervals, to the readers of this journal. It is in the same spirit that Now-towaids the close ofitft seventh volume, and another year—with foot firm in the stirrup-grati. tude inspiring, and confidence insured-the Proprietors announce their intention to present their readers with noble presents, in appropriate form, and with the best genius and illustration that modern art can afford. and without a thought of expense, MAGNIFICENT PiCtURES or THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF EUROPE. It is not more the proprietors' determination that their production shall surprise all who receive them, than that the faithful illus- trations themselves shall become so many records and monu- ments of what the good will and hearty friendship of the pub- lie enabled the first illustrated newspaper in the nineteenth century to achieve. Edinburgh and Dublin put forth their sister claims wiih London and the Illustrated London News may well aspire to reflect, on a grand scale, the chiefest cities of Europe, when not Europe, nor any territory short of the whole known world, is able to affix a limit to its circulation. The minute details offheptan, in presenting these magnificent pictures to subscribers, will be immediately placed at their dis- posal. For the present, the proprietors are glad to believe that there is not one of them who will not feel confidence and pleasure in its plain announcement. The number of the journal, with the presentation prÙ1t price 6d. No extra charge will be made. The first print, a View of the City of Dublin, will be presented early in the new year. The new year, it is confidently expected, will considerably increase the already large circulation of the Illustrated London News, which has already reached sixty thousand copies weekly and the subscribers may rest assured no exertion or expense will btf spared to add to the attractions of this journal.

I remain gentlemen, yeur obedient servant. C. VERDON. Long Benton, near Newcastle, Aug. 11,1845. gilts,—! beg to thank, and inform you of the wonderful effect of your PAIU\'I LIFE PILLS. I was long subject to shortness of breath, with cough, &c., but after taking your pills a short time. I am not only cured, but feel quite young again, and, although an old man of 60, I feel so much better that I think I shall live to be ninety, at leaat. If you think tfeis will be of service, you are quite welcome to print it. Yours, with much respect, PETER MURPHY. To the Pioprietorsof Parr's Life Pills. From Mr. W. Alexander, Bookseller, Yarmouth. Great Yarmouth, March 27, 1841. GENTLEMEN,—Being recently at Norwich, I called upon a gentleman at his request. He said, I had been very unwell fur two or three years, my stomach much out- of order, and con- stantly fe It a difficulty in breathing; 1 employed two medical gentlemen, and took a great quantity of medicine, but derived no benefit; on the contrary, I found myself daily declining and getting weaker, so that I could scarcely walk from one street to another; indeed I was in a melancholy desponding state. Ac- cordingly I purchased a box, and took them as directed. At the end of a week I was much better, having taken, I think, only eighteen pills; consequently, 1 continued taking them regularly, and when 1 had taken two boxes and a half I became quite well, and to this day I have enjoyed life, having now good health and good spirits. If, however, I feel any slight indisposition, I have recourse to the medicine I have so much reason to prize, which restores me to my usual good health. This gentteman wished his case to be made public, although, for obvious reasons, he could not authorise me to give his name. This timid, perhaps in some cases, prudent, caotiousness, is not uncommon. A neighbeuiing gentleman has several times ad- mitted to me that he derives great benefit from the occasional use of Parr's medicines, but will not permit me to mention it to any one. I am, dear sir. yours respectfully, WILLIAM ALEXANDER. 11 P.S. The Pills have entiiely removed the cough and asthma.

A most valuable remedy for Bilious and Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Head-Ache, GiddineM, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Gout, Rheuma- tism, Heartburn, Spasms, Lowness of Spirits, Costiveness, &c. THESE celebrated FAMILY Pitts have been faithfully dis- T pensed by the present Proprietor for more than 30 year, and have obtained from all grades of the community a character and reputation which no medicine of a similar nature has hitherto acquired. Dr. SYDENHAM'S PILLS being a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not containing any mercu- rial preparation, require neither confinement nor alteration of diet during their use. Moderate exercise increases their good eftects. They may be taken ut any time when the bowels are costive and uneasy; and Sydenham's Pills should be .taken by persons of all ages, as they assist digestion, coiiect excesses of the table, give a healthy action and tone to the stomach, remove all complaints to which the digestive organs are subject, and will lead to health and cheerful old age.

Various circumstances have prevented its earlier publication; but it is hoped that the force of this posthumous appeal will not be weakened by this unavoidable delay ] To till Laity of the Diocese of Llandaff, and to the Public in general. My LonDa AND GENTLFMKN, CONSIDERABLE interval has now elafsed since I appealed to the clergy of this diocese in behalf of an effort to rllslore some portion, at least, of our ancient Cathedral. In the address then circulated, I dwelt at some length on the cir- cumstances which gave rise to a strong manifes.aiion of public, feeling in favour of the pious undertaking, and quoted some encouraging remarks, which, though delivered at a meeting con- vened for another purpose, contained various suggestions and promises of support offered in a spirit -of the most cordial liberality. In that address I also mentioned, with sincere gratification, the number of intimations which had been conveyed to me on the subject, and recorded the progress already made in the res- toration of the Welsh Chapel, anciently called the Lady Chapel. This appeal to the Clrrgv was responded to in the kindest manner by *he members of the Chapter, and the Clerical body at large. The measure of their sympathy will be estimated by the list of their names and contributions, and a consideianon of the very scanty revenue of the church throughout the diocese. Hit who regards the willing mind, and accepts according to the ability rather than the amount, will surely appieciate this labour of love. From the Clergy I turn to the laity of Glamorgan and Mon- mouth in particular, and to the Public geneially, in behalf of our attempt to restore, or at le.1st to improve, our venerable Cathedral. The See of Llandaff is asserted to be-beyond dispute-the oldest, as its revenues are unquestionably the poorest, in the kingdom "Touching the antiquity of this church," says Bishop Godwin, it is reported to have been built in the 2nd century, about the year of Cluist 180. It is certain that Dubri. tius presided here in 436, and that he was instituted metropo- litan in these parts." For more than fourteen ceuturies of the Christian era has Llandaff existed with various fluctuations of wealth and depression, as an Episcopal See and it may serve to shew how great has been the spoil and waste of her revenues when we state, on the authority of the same Bishop Godwin, that so much riches has been bestowed on Llandaff, that if it enjoyed the tenth part of that which it has been endowed with first and last, it would be one of the wealthiest churches in Christendom; whereas," adds the mournful chronicle, "it bath u now hardly sufficient to repair itself. In the beginning of the 12th century, Urban, the thirtieth Bishop of this See, had it in his heart to rebuild this church. At his first coming, he found his bishopiick in a very poor and miserable condition—the cburch almost ruined to the ground -the revenues so confiscated, that out of twenty-lour canons they could now scarcely maintain two." The zealous bishop com- plained thereof to the King and other authorities. and in the year 1119 procured letters to the Clergy and Gentry of this JKillgdom, particularly of his own Diocese. By this means, having gathered great sums, he pulled down the old church, and began, upon the 14th April, 1120, the building of the present fabric, which is, says Godwin, a very elegant one, being 300 feet long, and 83 broad, and adorned at the west end with two stately towers of great height, and a neat Chapel of our Lady, a work truly magnificent, and to be remembered with honour by posterity" In 1478, Bishop Marshall became a groat benefactor to this Cathedral, in beautifying it by fresco painting, and by an altar piece of free-stone." It is a melancholy task to contrast its earlybeauly with its present deformity. Browne Willis, in his prefatory epistle to his Survey of the Cathedral Chuich of Llandaff. writing in the year 1715, des- cribes it as having fallen into a most deplorable decay within the last few years;" and thus touchinglv expresses his reasons for undertaking his work Wherefore it was that after a sad contemplative test so glorious a structure as this church. honoured by being the ancientest bishop's See in the Kingdoni (as we have evident authority to show) raised, enriched, and beautified by the piety of so many noble foundars, should be utterly destroyed; that I forthwith &c., &c. It is to prevent the accomplishment of this anticipated evil, to stay and repair the ravages of time, that I now appeal, with confidence, to pub- lic generosity, to individual taste, and above all, to national piety. To that natural inquiry—" What have you done for your- selves t-How far have you put your shoulders to the burthen ?" we auswer-we havedone what we could. We have, at oar own capitular cost, placed a new covering of lead over the whole of the roof of the Cathedral, the aisles, and the chapel. We have raised a new ceiling within we have also, from our own private,as well as from capsular resources, assisted by theclergy and some fading persons of the diocese, effected the complete Restoration of the Welsh chapel, in a manner entirely approved by competent judges and men of taste. Our desile now is to carry on the work of improvement in the Cathedral a) large. How far this desire may be accomplished mu%t depend upon the extent of our means. Earnestly do we hope that your liberality may enable us to effect a complete res- toration of the beautiful and venerable fabric; bit, should our funds prove insufficient for the immediate execution of that purpose, we are justified in expecting that enough may be col- lected, not only to execute the extensive improvements now in hand. but to carry forward its gradual restoration upon a settled and uniform plan, and in a style of architecture conesponding with the noble remains of the ancient edifice. What then remain unfinished may be completed by the piety of those who follow us in the good work. Care being studiously taken to do nothing ourselves which they may wi-h undone but, on the contrary, to leave them an example, which shall at once guide and encou- rage them in prosecuting the same design. That wishes and efforts having such an object in view will be met by the public with a willing heart and a liberal hand. we entertain no doubt. We ate far from reflecting upon the "ant of taste of our predecessors, who, near a century ago, refitted the church for thvine service, after it had lain 30 years in ruins. They did what they could, according to the style of that age- when the arts, and, more especially, architecture were in this country at the lowest ebb. We are anxious to remedy those defects. We appeal to an age far more wealthy. and far better taught, to supply us with funds, which they wAy be sure will now be applied with equal zeal, but with infinitPy better effect. We call upon the lovers of our reformed cbulch to lend a friendly hand to this pious work-to help us when struggling in a good cause-labouring to change a disfigured, but still a venerable, structure, into a form worthy of its solemn and holy purposes, and corresponding with the dignity of a Cathedral Institution. .l*b°ut such aid, the objectis unattainable We shall still, indeed, make the attempt; let it not be said that you looked on with indifference, and that, in consequence of tha.t indifference, our attempt has been unsuccessful. WILLIAM BRUCE KNIGHT. Postscript by the Dean of Llandaff.—Nov., 1845. vill nnt, by any addition of my own, weaken the force which the above appeal must carry with it, in coming, as it were, from its author's tomb, who still, however, lives in the hearts and memories of all the members of the diocese, to which it is, in the first place, addressed but still I cannot feel satis- fied that it should go forth unacoompanied by the declaration, bow near to my own heart is the cause thus pleaded by my be loved and venerated predecessor; and what delight it will afford me to co-operate, by every means in my power, in the exertions which, I am sure, this address will call forth.

THE importance of possessing A FINE SET OF TEETH i is universally acknowledged by all who attach the due value to Personal Advantages and the Blessings of Health. A regular fi m, and pearly row of teeth ever insures favourable impressions' while the indispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of bealth, demand our utmost care and attention in their preservation. Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded ate inevi. tably attended with evils which affect the whole system. What. ever renders mastication painful or imperfect, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect communition and mixture of it with the saliva, which is indis- pensable to perfect digestion; and hence arise an endless train of r diseases of the stomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of its wonted nourishment, and the whole system lan- guishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagreeable conesquences that follow fast the decay of the teeth—an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The DECAY OF THE TEETH arises from various causes; but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use ot Tooth Powders containing mineral and other delete- rious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamet!—The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment To this fact. indeed, is principally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which his happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Bteath, viz.— ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or, PEARL DENTIFRICE, A WHITE POWDER FOR THE TEUTH, Compounded of the Choicest and most Recherche Ingredients of the Oriental Herbal; the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possibie degree.

M WITH ABUNDAVT PROOF THAT THERE IS A CURE FOR ALL!! OINTMENT. AN ALMOST MIRACULOUS CURE OF A BAD LEG Of five years' standing. The patient had been discharged from Gnu's Hospital, without deriving the least benefit from that Institution. \/f RS. FRY,residing at No, 35, Trafalgar-street, Walworth iTl. London, was some time since admitted as an In-door pa-' tient at Guv's Hospital, wllh a bad leg of five years' standing The flesh of the leg was in many places nearly 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 Nine Fright- ful Ulcers in it; she derived no benefit whatever at the Hospital, and returned to her home. 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 I lolloway's Om)ment& Pills, whicft in the course of about Three Months, performed a perfect cure when every other means proved unavailing. A MAS'S FACE PREVENTEC FROM BEING FATEN AWAY. By Cancerous Sores, by means of HOJlOWity'S Ointment A- PilU- {( JAMES WEBB, a brewer's drayman, residing in Robin Hood Court, Leather Lane. Holborn, London, had a large hole, which went through his cheek, and several other ulcers, which were on both sides of his face, eating all the flesh from it. He bad been an in-door patient ia Charing Cross Hospital, for six months, without being able to get a cure. He expected that no. •hing could save his life, until he was advised, as a last resource. to use Holloway 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 m his face, he is as well as ever he was. A CARE OF LOATHSOME SKIN DISEASE, Attended withdreadful swellings of the whole body, that had re- sisted the treatment of nearly all the Hospitals of London, cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. A child, five years of age, named JONES, whose father is a shoe-maker, living at No. 4 Horse Shoe Alley, Wilson-street. Finsbury, had been afflictec from the age of 16 months,with fear- ful and dread ul swellings all over her body, which used to affect her periodically at suet, times her face would change its coior, and remain perfectly black her body was always covered with I °r lh,s,UDk»^n complaint, the child Iu ° °, near,y a11 lhe Hospitals in London, i l l '66?8,0 eminence; none appeared to uoder- 1„S?aSe' od„she got no b, Ue' from their treatment, whi^h^ n t'H ll0pe' Hol ™a,y's 0ln,raent and Pills were tried, which not only gave relief, but completely eradicated the dis- easetrom the system, so that the child is now restored to perfect health, and not the least vestige of the formercomplaintremains. In all Diseases of the skin, bad legs, old wounds, and ulcers, bad breasts, sore nipples, stony and ulcerated cancers, tumours, swellings, gout, rheumatism, and lumbago, likewise in case of piles the pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the ointment alone. The ointment is proved to be a cer- tain remedy for the bite of the Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego- foot, Yaws, and Cuco-bay. Burns, scalds, chilblains, chapped hands, and lips, also bunions, and soft corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the ointment. The Pills are not only the finest remedy known when used with the ointment, but as a general medicine there is nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest sevice. These pills, are, without exception, the finest purifier of the blood ever discovered, and OUGHT TO BE USED BY ALL!
