BELL'S MONTHLY COMPENDIUM OF ADVERTISEMENTS FOR OCTOBER, 1807.

For CLEANING and BEAUTIFYING the TETTH,
PREPARED CHARCOAL and CONSENTRATED
SOLUTION.

Charcoal from its antiseptic properties has long been recommended by the first professional men as the most efficacious Tooth Powder that can be used for cleaning, whitening, and preserving the Teeth, removing the Scurvy from the Gums, and destroying the fator arising from curious teeth, which contaminates the breath, and is incapable of injuring the enamel.

From the great reputation the above articles, invented by Edm Lardner (Chemist to the Duke and Duchess of York), has acquired, many imitations are daily offered for sale; the true only is signed Edin. Lardner on the Label.

K. and B. feel it incumbent on them to state to the Public, that the very great demand for the Genuine Prepared Charcoal, testified by Affidavit of Mr. Blake, before the Lord Mayor, bearing date, June the 10th, 1806, has occasioned such various imitations, that unless they are particular in asking for their Preparation, they undergo a great risk of a spurious kind being imposed upon them.

The acknowledged and evident superiority of this Soap having occasioned many imitations, Families are particularly requested to direct for Davison's original Palmyrene or Violet Scented Soap, sold in London at their Manufactory, No. 59, Fleet-street, and by one principal Trader in every chief Town and fashionable Watering Place in England, Scotland and Ireland.

IMPROVED MINERAL TEETH.
FALEUR AND DELAFONS,

No. 18, Woburn-place, Russell-square.

Mr. FALEUR respectfully announces to the Public, in addition to his improvements in the composition of MINERAL TEETH, which have always given so much satisfaction, that he has planned and brought to perfection an effectual method of introducing an Arti ficial Palate, so as completely to relieve the sufferer.For this invention of his art, Mr. F. is enabled to refer to a Field Officer lately returned from India, whose Teeth and Palate were shot away in the Mahratta Ware and whose sufferings and privations in consequenc, were great for several years; but he is now so far relieved as to be enabled to eat, drink, and talk with ease and satisfaction.

Mr. F. again beg leave to caution the Public against the invidious attacks of an advertising Dentist, who, by frequent publications, endeavours to injure him. Mr. Faleur, being honoured with an extensive portion of public favour, can feel no other sentiment for this envious, disappointed, and irritable old man, but pity.And Mr. F. is confident, that while he continues to give satisfaction to those who honour him with their commands, no efforts of an ungenerous enemy can injure him with a British Public.

Mr. Faleur has also to produce a specjinen of this person's skill-nine Artificial Teeth, which he got from a Gentleman, who ranks high in the State, with permission to use his name, and for which he was shamefully charged the enormous sum of Sixty Guineas!!

During which period every article of elegance, beauty, and taste in Hair, has been invented by him, and, by his talents and unremitting attention "to catch the living manners as they rise," every graceful improvement has been happily accomplished. The distinction he is honoured with by the first families in this country, and the whole fashionable world, both at home and abroad, incontestably proves his superiority, and enables him to import above one thousand pounds weight of Mr. Faleur begs leave to add, that in consequence of Hair every year, which affords employment to more various experiments, he has succeeded in making the than one hundred men, women, and children in his Mineral Teeth so incorruptible, that he engages to reManufactory.

ROYAL ABYSSINIAN FLOWER SOAP. A delicate Skin is attainable by using MIDDLEWOOD's ROYAL`ABYSSINIAN FLOWER SOAP, which is used, and in high repute, with the Royal Family, the Nobility, and the Public in general, for washing the Hands and Face beautifully clean, white, and smooth, and preventing them from chapping in the most intense winter, even if washed with hard water. It is particularly recommended to wash young Chil dren, or Gentlemen to shave with. Cold or only warm water is recommended.

BEAUTIFUL TEETH AND GUMS
May be obtained by using PRINDON's ITALIAN

This truly innocent, efficacious, and agreeable Powder was discovered by an eminent foreign Dentist, and which has met the approbation of most of the Nobility of this Country.

It far surpasses every thing of the kind ever offered to the Public, for cleansing, beautifying, and preserving the Teeth and Gums, as it renders the Enamel equisitely white, the Gums firm and of a beautiful appearance; in short, a perseverance in its use will prove its superior efficacy.

In private practice, they have been given in very obstinate cases with the greatest success; even in Dysentery of long standing, a single box has effected a cure, after every other remedy previously prescribed by eminent Physicians had failed. Those, therefore, who have had recourse to the common remedies in these complaints, without experiencing the desired relief, may take this medicine with the greatest confidence of

success.

They are peculiarly convenient for persons whose avocations require them to be absent froin home many hours in the day, as from their being more portable than a liquid medicine, they can be carried in the pocket and readily taken at any time; and they have, moreover, this advantage of Pills, that by being dissolved in the mouth before they pass into the stomach, their effects takes place much sooner, and a more speedy relief is obtained; which is a very desirable object in so distressing a complaint.

THE SIEGE OF COPENGAGEN.

The recent glorious achievement of the British Navy and Army at Copenhagen, will fully sanction, it is to be hoped, these Proposals for publishing Five Engravings descriptive of the Metropolis of Denmark, and of the different dispositions of the British Troops and Fleet at the most interesting periods of the siege. The undertaking has not only strong claims on the patronage of the Public in a national point of view, inasmuch as it will shew the positions of our gallant Navy and Army in various points of attack, and demonstrate the several obstacles they had to surmount; but it has claims on public notice also, which will exist long after the feelings of the present day shall have subsided. The Coast of Zealand, and, indeed, the whole scenery which these proposed Engraving will represent, is universally admitted to rank among the most picturesque and beautiful marine views in Europe.
