MINERAL TERRA METALLIC ., For Filling Decayed Teeth , without Heat , Pain , or Pressure ; and Incorrodible Mineral Teeth Jived without giving the least Pain , or ¦ shewingr any fastening whatever : LEEDS AND BRADFORD . ME . ES&ELL , SURGEON DENTIST , 0 ¥ 3 N 0 . 12 J PARK-R 0 ¥ , LEEDS , "DESPECTFULLY announces that he is on a Professional Vifit to Bradford , and for the better JX Accommodation of his Friends , has made Arrangements to attend those Places , and may be consulted in aU the Branches of DENTAL SURGERY as follows , until further Notice : — Every Wednesday and Thursday , at Mrs . Briyg ' s , Well-Street , Bradford ; and every Monday , Tuesday , Friday and Saturday , at his Residence , I 2 i , Park-Mow , Leeds . INCOR R ODIB L E M I N E R AL TE E TH , From One to a complete Set , « rhicfc are not only Indestructible , but also Incapable of DUcolouration . Amongst the advantages of Mr . Eskell ' s System , one of the principal is , that it confers the powers of the most distinct Articulation , aud submits this as really an advantage of the utmost importance , but when to it is added the capability of biting the hardest substance , without pain , though last , not least , that it give ? the appearance of juvenility to countenances otherwise of an aged appearance . v Mr . Eskell wishes to impress upon the Ladies and Gentlemen not to have the least prejudice against his Artificial Teeth , for they are both useful and ornamental ; his principle is quite different from any other , it conduces to both beauty and comfort . , ¦¦ ¦¦ ' ¦»¦„ . " i ™ ^ -, " A uew Description of Mineral Teeth that closely resembles nature ; these Mineral Teeth eminently possess every superiority-that can be desired over the various substances offered to the public for similar purposes ; their colour is unchangeable , and they may be had in every gradation of shade , to suit any that may be remaining in the month . In point of economy the Mineral Teeth will be found highly advantageous to the wearer , as in durability . Mr . Eskell avails himself of this opportunity to explain the various species of Disease to which the mouth is liable , according to tbe principles laid down by the most erp nt-jt me-d / ca men , convinced that so important a condition as persona * appearance cannot . fail of being interesting . Scaling the Teelh .-Tb . is operation when performed by a skilful Dentist , causes not the least pain , and is effected in order to preserve the Teeth from tartared effluvia , to keep them pure and white , and to free the breath from any displeasantodour ; this Operation should take place occasionally . Cauterizing the ' Teeth . —The operation is had recourse to upon the first symptoms of decay , in order to arrest tbe progress of disease , and which , provided it be done in due time , prevents that acute pain followed by ultimate extraction .. . , Filling the Yacumn of Decayed Teeth . —This process , simple in itself and easy to endure , preserves the enamel of the Teeth ia their primitive state , and entirely prevents any portion of ailment or foul air from entering the cavities—the general source of offensive efBuvia . Separating of the Teeth . —The Teeth , from want of proper attention , are apt in most persons to close and connect themselves with each other , which is generally the chief cause of decay ; in such cases it is particularly advisable to separate them . Great care is required in this operation . ¦ ..,-. ' Fastening Loose Teeth . —Mr . E . during his course of study has adopted a mode of fastening loose Teeth , particularly of aged persons , whether arising from neglect or any other cause , which he is happy to say has proved successful to the full extent of his expectations . Regulating the Teeth . — -It is well known that Teeth will often grow too long , and outstretch each other , sometimes obtruding themselves beyond the bounds prescribed by the circular formation of the month : under such cireomstaHces they require regulatine , which greatly adds to the agreeable appearance of the countenance , in the laugh , . and gives facility to the articulation . The beauties of a well-regulated set of Teeth are so generally acknowledged and admired , that to offer further observatLn On this head would be superfluous . . - . _ , ¦ ¦ ,-, Fixing one or more Teeth . —Tbe method adopted in this process of replacing Teeth , renders it impossible to discern the artificial from the natural , without wire spring or showing any fastening whatever . Extraction of the Root or the Fungs of the Teeth . —Although this operation is often dreaded by the afflicted , from the facility which characterizes the performance of his operation , Mr . E . has been most sneeessful in removing all fearful apprehensions . Fixing complete Sets of Teeth . —Complete ^ sets by the assistance ef a new invented spring , which gperates with the action of the jaws , in mastication , &c . will be found , in every respect amply competent to supply the place of their predecessors . jLtteivda . nct fr » m Ten till Four , at his residence , 12 $ , Park Row , every Monday , Tuesday , Friday and Saturday . .

In consequence of numerous applications continually received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood , one of the Proprietors of Dr . Henry ' s French Meroine PilU , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN WITH EACH BOX . OF DR . HENBY ^ S FBENGH MEROINE PILI& ; - PtONTAINING plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above com-\ J plaints—with observations on seminal weakness arisingfrom early abuses , and the deplorable conseqnences resulting from the use of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readers , so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor , st No . 74 , Cobourg Street , Six Doors from Brunswick Chapel , Leeds . In Boxes , 2 s / 9 d . and 4 s . 6 d . each . "Witii each Box is given directioss how to take these Pillsf observations on points beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or have been , sufferers from this dreadful and devastating malady . That cruel disease which has destroyed se many thousands is now unhappily so well known that a recital of its effects if quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand panacea for the cure of this deplorable complaint . Tbe certaiaty with which the Pills aTe continually administered can be attested by many thousands who are annnally enred by them . "What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pill * root out every particle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate bytWr action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of tbeir astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury nor any other » ineral , and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require no restraint of diet , loss of tims , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure to the patient . At any period whea the slightest suspicion may exist it will be well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for when taken before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive , removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visi tisg fee Doctor ( from the u *« of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered . . The Doctor , after an extensive practice of Thirty Years , has rendered his counsel an object of die utmost consequence to all who are Inbouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those trtyrbledwith serainal weakness , hit advice will be invaluaUe ; hundreds have pwne 4 h » skill in Hheser- complaiaits To the youth of both sexes , whether lured from health by the promptings of passion , o * the lifiltwionroi " inexperience , his advice is superior ; in his practice be unites a mild gentleness of treatment , anctpossessiijg so thorough a knowledge of his art , the most deplorable cases afford no resistance to his skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depositary of many distressing secrets which are kept with unblemished faith and honour ; to persons so afflicted , it 8 highly neoeissary to observe that ah early application is of the greatest importaace , and that with such a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder , must amount to a dencaey as destructive * as it i « &lse and unnecessary . To the neglect of such attention , are attributable many of those hapless instances ; which , while they excite the commiseration of the beholder , should al «> impress him with the fear' of self-reproach . T-o all such , then , we address ourselves , offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor ought our advances to appear questionable , sanctioned as they are iy tbe multiplied prooft of thirty years' guooessful . experience . Letters ( post paid ) inclosing a remittance , answered by the return of port , and Medicines punctoally transmitted to any address , either by initials , or name . Private entrance , No . 28 . Qneea ' s Place , Baok Cobourg-Street . . "With each B « x frill be given practical observations , gratuitoudy , on the above disease .

Cameron will proceed with lectures on geology , poetry , &c . T » e association at present consists of 160 members ; and , considering the short time since its formation , possesses an ; excellent library' : and newsrroom . On Monday evening ; last , Mr . Cameron finished a course of three lectures " on the relation of man to the external and internal World , through the medium of his senses . ' The lectures have given the highest satisfaction . - ' SociALiSM ^ On Friday nightweek f the 2 nd in 8 t ., a lecture was delivered op Socialism , inthe Radical Association ; Room , Keighlcyj by Mr . Fleming , from Manche « iter . After the lecture : several persons came forward ; and questioned Mr . JF ., to all
of whom he replied very affably . On the following Sunday evening another lecture was delivered by Mr . Barker , from Sheffield ^ in the same place . The utmost good of tier prevailed during both lectures , although the large room , in which the lectur . es were delivered , was crowded to excess , especially oil Sunday night , several . persons being ^ obliged ' -. to go away , not being : able to gain admittance . - Robbery . —On Friday night week , four men entered the Black Horselnn , Keighley , and called for some liquor ^ stating that they had been begging at a fair a short distance from that town . "While
one of the party was amusing theilandjady with an account of their begging exploits , the other three slipped into an adjoining room , andj ^ acked up every thing which they could . caryy : ' ofzj viz ., wearing apparel to a large amount , v They then departed , leaving the unsuspiectmg ia ^ ndjady to ruminate on what ahe had heard ; Oa the same night an attempt was made to enter the dwelling of Isaac Sharp / beer retailer ^ Low Bridgej by forcing open the casemerit , Happily , however , one of the inmates awoke , and succeeded in defeating the lawless intentions of these midnight marauders .
A Distressed Case . —Excellent Working of the New Poor Law . —Mary Clark , a poor woman apparently in the deepest distress was brought up at the Court House , charged by Mt $ h "Walton , a respectable female who gave her evidence with great reluctance , with having abstracted a large quantity of property of the value of £ 3 : from a parcel which Mrs . W . had given to her husband to convey to London . The goods which consisted of fancy worsted shawls and other articles , had beep . pawnedby the prisoner at the shopa of Mr . Law ; and Mr . Harrison ; , in Sykes-street , and was identified by the complainant . The prisoner did not deny the charge , but said she did not mean to keep
them ; , she had done the deed from actual want ,, she had three children and was expecting money -from her husband who is in the oil trade but had not got it . Her youngest child was eighteen months old * Mr . Parker said it was a most distressing case , but they would take it under the pawnbroker ' s act , and although she must go to prison yet the' Magistrates would not forget the feelings of men ; he saw her situation and therefore he should hot send her to the treadmill , and as it might be proper to release her before her confinement , the sentence of the court
was that for each offence she should be committed to the gaol for any time not exceeding a month . Mr ; and Mrs . Walton : seemed desirous that mercy should be extended as far as the Magistrates might think proper , and Mr . Wood , one of the reporters , also addressed the bench , and said that he bad seen the prisoner some time since comiug from the Sculcpates Workhouse , and inquired how things went : on under the new law . She told him very badly , that shewas in actual want , and had three children , and the guardians of the union would only allow her for the week two loaves .
Hull Temperance Festi VAL .- ^ On Monday week , the Temperance anniversary commenced in the Boy's School-room , Salthouse-lane , John Wade , Esq ., president , took the chair , and in a neat and eloquent speech opened the business of the meeting , pointing out in a very pleasing and forcible manner the advantages likely h arise from the diffusion of total abstinence ; . ¦ ' principles ; Mr . Firth , then read the report , by which it appeared , that the prospects of the society were of the most cheering character ; the weekly meetings continued to be . well attended , drunkards were recfaimed , the comfort of families was promoted , and two or three brarteh societies had been formed , one of which at Barton , in
the short space of twenty weeks , numbered 350 members . Societie 8 had also be en established at Barrow and Brigg , andthe cause was spreading in every direction . Several reclaimed characters addressed the meeting ; and also Mr . Kempston ,. from Bury , whose address gave the most entire satisfaction to the friends , assembled , and the harmsny of the evening would have been perfect , had it not here been interrupted by the violent and scandalous behaviour of one individual . Juvt as the chairman was about to vacate the chair , Mr . J . W . Duval , an expelled member of the Association , rose and requested the president to read to the society , a letter which he had previously handed to him , Jhis
request he refused to comply with , on the ground that the meeting was not intended for discussion , and requested him not tointerrupt the -proceedings j to this however , Mr . Duval , paid no regard , but continued pertinaciously to address the chair , and 'it was found necessary to order his removal ; upon this a scene of confusion ensued , which defies description . The audience were divided into two unequal parties ; the 1 arger bent upou supporting the authority of the chair , and the smaller equally bent uponforcingMr . Duval upon the attention of the meeting . Life and
property was in imminent peril , but at length a number of the police were called in and the worthy cause of the disturbance ^ after ch asing \ vp and down the room was given in charge , and conveyed to tfie station-house . On the following morning the affair underwent a long inyestiga , tion before the magistrates , and hosts of witnesses appeared on both sides . Mr . Duval commenced : a long story about his private grievances ,, which the Mayor cut short , by telling him that they had nothing to do with the case , he then called witnesses -who
were to prove that be was not the cause of the ieommotion ; Mr . W . Armstrong , Quaker , Mr . Martin , dancing master , and ; Whitehead j Methodist local preacher , appeared . for thedefendant , but their evidence d ^ d not touch the case at all . The Mayor said it was clear that his conduct had been most improper ^ but as the society only wished for protec-Jtioij / if he woulii Jnake an anology ^; and prorrnse Hot to conduct himself in an improper manner in future , himself , and his brother magistrates ; would be satisfied . This be refused to do , and his worship said . then he must be bound over to keep the peace . A consultation then took place on the bench , as to the amount , the result of which was , that Mr ;
Duval was required to be bound over to keep the peace : for the space of twelve months , himself in £ 20 . y and two sureties in £ 10 . each . Mr . Burton , druggist , and Mr . Proctor , bookbinder , offered themselves as sureties , and were accepted . The ronilt when it became known in the town , appeared to g ive general satisfaction , and in the evening the room was again crowded . Mt , ^^ Grubb , the agent of the New British Association , gave an animated address , which was listened to with profound attention . Several reformed drunkards also detailed the benefits they . had derived from total abstinence , and the company separated in high glee and genuine good humour . Several signed the pledge . On Wednesday
and Thursday evenings , public addresses were again delivered by Mr . Grubb , whose eloquence- . was greeted by frequent and lon g ' continued cheering . During the day , on Wednesday , Mr . Duval applied to the sifting ^ magistrates ^ fb r summonses against two members of the Temperance Society , yarned "Wells and Johnson ,: for an ^ \ assau ! t ^ alleged to have been committed upon him oti ^ the preceding evening , at the meeting . Suramoniiiea were granted , and the pase was heard bnT Thursday . Several ^ witnesses wereexamined •; from whose testimony it appeared that Wells ; and Johnson had been desired to remove Mr .
Duval from the room ^ after his conduct had rendered his longer remaining there in unbearable nuisance , and that Wells had accordingly attempted torreinove him , but without uijing stay ^ violence , while Johnson immediately went out in search : of a policeman . The books of the society containing the rules for ordering and conducting their meetings were put in and r ^ ad , ' and it was shewn that Mt .: Duval hating jbeen once ai member , though sometime since : expelled must h ave known , that be was acting contrary to those rules , and therefore disturbing and insulting the meeting . After a Ionj and ^ patient hearing th # charge was dismissed * , . . v . { : . '¦' . ;
