STAMMERING and OTHEE
VOCAL DEFECTS.
-R A. INIELVILLE BELL, Professor of
Elocution from London, continues to
attend pupils in Edinburgh for the perfect ad-
justment of the articulation in all cases of defec-
tive or impeded utterance.
The system of cure is that of which Mr Bell,
sen., {Norton Street, Portland Place, London,) is
the author, by whom it has been practised for
upwards of ten years in the English raetropohs.
The most satisfactory testimonials can be offered
from pupils in all parts of England, Scotland,
and Ireland : and Mr A. M. Bell has the honour
to give personal reference to several of his for-
mer pupils. The system is purely scientific, and
is certain in its results. There can be no re-
lapse : — the principles ensure progressive and
permanent improvement.
Among Mr A. M. Bell's recent cures in Edin-
buro-h, is a case'.which was of Thirty Years'
Stanping. The gentleman who was the victim
of this very severe impediment had been, at dif-
ferent times previously, under several persons
who professed to cure, but failed to benefit him.
He noiu enjoifs fluency of utterance.
Lisping, Burring, Nasal Intonation, and all
minor defects of speech, speedily and completely
corrected.
The terms depend on the nature of the case,
and the circumstances of the pupil : in all cases
they are moderate. Address : 15, St Andrew
Street.

102, George Street, Edinbur§^b.
DR M. ARNOTT,
SURGEON AND DENTIST,
25, SOUTH CASTLE STREET,
HAS made important improvements in
the materials for, and methods of, stop-
ping decayed Teeth, suited to the various kinds
and stages of incipient or other decay ; tlicreby
restoring a hollow tooth to the same case and
functionable utility as a sound one. Should
pain and inflammation be present, they are soon
allayed by anodynes, which prepare the tooth
for its appropriate stopping.
Natural, Mineral, and all kinds of Artificial
Teeth, from one to any requisite number, mount-
ed on gold, or otherwise, and fi.ved so as to af-
ford utility, ease, and comfort.
Dr M. A. would call the attention of those
requiring artificial teeth, to his recently improv-
ed Indestructible Silicious Teeth, which he is
happy to say he can now guarantee not to break
or discolour in the mouth.
By those wearing teeth set in bone, besides
for clealinness, they will be found valuable, as
from their unchanging qualities they may of-
ten be re-set. The unnatural dead china look,
now so often and universally complained of as
characterising mineral teeth, has by Dr M. A"s.
recent improvement been so completely obviat-
ed, that his mineral teeth cannot be distinguish-
ed, when placed in juxtaposition, from natural
organs of the most exquisite forms and shades.
N.B. — Dr M. A. auarantees all his work.

DENTAL SURGERY.
VERNON, Surgeon-Dentist, SO,
Princes Street, may be consulted upon
every branch of his profession free.

Incorrodible, (which is at present unsurpassed
by any other in the perfect resemblance of the
natural, neither is it affected by acids,) supplied

terms strictly moderate.
In cases of Toothache, Mr Vernon highly re-
commends his improved method of filling de-
cayed Teeth, whereby immediate relief is given
and the teeth made useful for many years after-
wards. ■*
