PATENT, AND APPROVED BY THE [..] AND
SOCIETY OF MEDICINE, AND BY THE ACADEMY OF
SCIENCES OF PARTS,

MR. DE CHEMANT. Surgeon Dentist,
from Paris Inventor of new artificial Teeth, thinks it
incumbent upon him to [..]
Nobility, Ladies and Gentlemen, who have honoured [..]
their confidence for these five years past, during his residence
in London; and to inform them and the public at large, that
in consequence [..] success he has met with in England,
[..] has taken a commodious horse, No. 1, Frith-Street , Soho ,
in every respect adapted to his profession, and has fitted up
various apartments for the convenience of those who would
with to consult him, without the possibility of being seen by
any other person, who may at the same time be waiting for the
like purposeThose new artificial Teeth are made of paste,
composed of [..] meral substances, which, as it is at first soft
and pliant, admits of being [..] ted to the natural form of the
mouth, and, by due preparation, becomes as hard and polished
as the natural Teeth, likewise [..] superior to all other substances
hitherto invented, in as much as it does not change its colour,
wear away, or by [..] bing the juices of the mouth, cause an
offensive smelt, which all other substances hitherto made use,
of, are well known to do.

Hitherto the infirmities of persons, who have lost by various
accidents their nose, palate, or lips; some part of the jaws,
cheeks, or even of the scull have been very imperfectly re-
medied; but by means of M [..] De Chemant's paste it is com-
pletely accomplisher, as it unites the advantages of being apt to
receive whatever impression in or colour may be necessary. The
affected have the satisfaction of supplying their defect, by
Mr. De Chemant's mechanism, with the advantage of those
[..] parts never acquiring any offensive smell.

M. De Chemant, to six still more the attention of the pub-
lic to his most useful discovery, and to inform those persons
who may accidentally not be yet acquainted with it, thinks it
necessary to insert here the approbation of the Faculty and
Academy of Sciences [..] Paris, which will demonstrate to the
[..]
Extracted from the Registers of the Royal Academy of
Sciences, on Teeth and Sets of Teeth, invented by M. DE
CHEMANT, the 10th of June, 1789.

"M. Darcet and I have been charge to examine the Teeth,
and sets of a new composition, which Mr. DUBOIS DE CHE-
MANT has presented to the Academy, and to give to it ac-
count of them. The company has been able to judge as we
hatve, rhaa those Teeth and sets very nearly imitate na-
ture, as well by their form and colour, as by the por-
tions of artificial gums which support them, and to which
Mr. DUBOIS DE CHEMANT also gives a very great likeness
to natural gums. But what merits for them, a considerable
preference beyond all those which have been composed hither
is, it, that they are of a hard substance, upon which the
spittle and the particles of food which remain in the mouth,
have no effect; whereas the others, made of animal sub-
stances, and Little resembling natural Teeth, are easily spoiled,
acquire a dirty colour, and contract a smell as offensive as it
is prejudicial to the health. The matter which Mr. De Che-
mant makes use of is a Mineral Paste, to which, after many
assays, he has found means of giving a colour like to that
of the Teeth, which he means to supply. He can mould
is into any form so as to make whole sets, half sets, either
for the upper or the lower jaw; portion of sets, when there
remain above or below Teeth, which may be preserved, single,
double, treble, or [..] druble Teeth, as necessity requires.
the whose sets are put in motion by means of springs, of Mr.
she Chemants [..] which are very different from those
[..] hereto [..]
the jaws are [..]
[..] are applied to both sets, even to the upper ones, in a
manner as simple as it is ingenious. A mechanism equally
simple joins the parts of he sets to natural Teeth which re-
main; and single, double or treble Teeth he with the greatest
facility, because Mr. De Chemant [..] found means of
horing his Part, so as to place pins in them, and to make
any slides he pleases.

"His manner of taking measure of the Teeth which he
intends to replace, adds greatly to the merit of his invention.
His process is such, that each piece is moulded as it were,
for the place which it is to fill; and as for the whole sets,
half sets, or any other portion whatsoever, their base receives
and surrounds the edges of the gums, or the part on which
they are applied, so as to render their position very solid, and
to prevent the painful pression they may otherwise occasion.
By the process he can preserve, as long as he pleases, the
moulds of all his pieces, and can take very exact precise
measures of persons at a distance whom he never saw; and
provided he be informed exactly the colour of the remaining
Teeth, he is sure to send pieces which will fit with the
greatest exactness, as well as if he had taken the measures
and placed the Teeth himself.

"Mr. DE CHEMANT'S Paste is very solid, it cannot be
broken between the hands, without employing very group
[..] The substance of it produces [..] with steel; it is
not affected by acids, The weight of [..] is less than that of
pored me. M. Brisson, who has been pleased to determine it,
[..] ound that a [..] bical inch of it weighed one ounce, two grot,
and sixty-nine penny weights: where [..] the lightest china of
[..] of the seventeen kinds which he [..] ined, weighs one
ounce three gross, and nine grains.

Having examined the Teeth and sets of Teeth made by
Mr. De Chemant, after seeing the manner in which he takes
his measures and forms his moulds, having inquired into the
springs and the means be emplo [..] to adapt his places, in or-
der to justify the confidence laid in us by the Academy, we
thought proper to see some pieces placed on; we therefore
betook ourselves to the houses of different persons who make
[..] of them, and who have consented to be visited, and to
answer our questions. We have seen teeth of every kind.
The persons to whom M. De Chemant conveyed [..] are all
of a distinguished rank, and of course beyond all suspicion of
any other views in what they told us than those of doing jus-
tice to truth. They assured us they felt no sort of inconve-
nience, from the pleces they make use of, and that they be-
come accustomed to them in a very short time, and with case,

schools, after having heard the Report [..]
M. De chemant Baget, and Petit, whom they had charged
to examine the Artificial Teeth and sets of Teeth proposed by
M De Chemant, Surgeon and Dentist, has been unanimously
of opinion, agreeably to the said Report, to approve the same
Artificial Teeth and sets of Teeth, composed of a Paste which
the Sieur De Chemant hardens by fire, so that those pieces
[..] labilty, qualities acknowledged by the Commissioners [..]
by the trials made upon the specimens presented by the [..]
ventor, as by what they observed with persons who have [..]
use of them, and I have concluded with the faculty.

" CRUCHOT,
First Apparitor and Register Keeper of the
said Faculty to the University of Paris.

As interested persons may see with a jealous eye the ad-
mirable utility of this discovery, the more so as they are de-
terred from the imitation thereof, by His Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent, granted to the inventor; and as no doubt
many of them will strain every nerve, to prevent persons
from having recourse to this valuable improvement, till the
expiration of the Patent (at which time they will not fail to
commend it, and discontinue the use of human Teeth, and
other animal substances) Mr. De Chemant thinks proper to
acquaint those persons, who may honour him with their com-
mands, that it they should not approve of the Teeth when
finished, they will not be expected to take them.

Many persons having been led to suppose that Mr. De Che
mant confines himself to the making artificial Teeth of [..]
mineral paste, he thinks it necessary to inform them, that [..]
exercises the profession of a Surgeon Dentist in its various [..]
branches, with the more facility, as surgery was his profession [..]
at Paris, previous to his late discovery.

Mr. Do Chemant having been informed that som [..]
persons are endeavouring [..]
[..] guineas to any such person as
setting Teeth contrary to the right granted to him by [..]
Patent; the said reward to be paid on conviction of the
offender.

Mr. DE CHEMANT has carried his invention to such [..]
eminent degree of perfection, that he can with case [..]
any Artificial Teeth, and even whole Sets of Teeth, without
obliging the persons (whatever may be their distance from Lon-
don) to come to him, provided they will send him the [..]
colours and forms, according to the directions he will [..]
them by private letters.

Mr. De Chemant is to be spoken with every day from
twelve so three. The great number of persons who daily
come to his house, prevent his attendance abroad on any family,
except those of his annual subscribers, an those he request
will give him notice the preceding day, when they with to
see him.

N. B. For the advantage and satisfaction of those who [..]
be in want of Teeth, and desire more particularly to be [..]
formed of their nature and properties, Mr. De Chemant [..]
give such persons a dissertation, gratis, which contains also [..]
[..] monies and approbations of the Academy of Sciences are [..]
Faculty and Society of Medicine of Pairs, of several of the [..]
Faculty, and of persons who have personally experienced the [..]
utility.

N. B. Any Letters, post paid, will be answered.

TO THE AFFLICTED WITH COUGHS, ASTHMAS,
AND CONSUMPTIONS.
JAMES CHURCH,
Inventor and sole Proprietor [..]
COUGH DROPS,

At his Dispensary, City-Road, near Finsbury-Square, London,
RESPECTFULLY informs the Public, that,
on account of the very rapid demand for the above
valuable medicine, and the increasing number of asthmatic
and Consumptive Patients who daily resort to him, he is
under the necessity of relinquishing the other practical parts of
his professions, in order that he may be the better enabled to
pay every attentive mark of respect to those patents who are
afflicted with complaints of the above description. He has,
therefore, appointed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
before Twelve o' clock, for giving his advice (gratis) to those
who take his Medicine; and for their better accommodation,
he has taken a private house, No. 23, City-road , nearly op-
posite his late situation.

Since this excellent Medicine was first discovered by Mr.
Church, many thousand persons have experienced its happy
and salutary effects, many of whom had been by asthmatic
and consumptive complaints reduced to the brink of the grave
their constitutions were, quite emaciated, and had cast off all
hopes of recovery, having used every remedy recommended [..]
specifies for those complaints, and had made every application
to the Faculty that could be obtained.

Common Colds, which are generally occasioned by an ob-
structed perspiration, will be found to yield to its benign in-
Quence in a few hours.

In Common Coughs, which are in general the effect of [..]
it gives immediate relief, removing those trouble some im-
tations, or, as they are called, [..] of the throat, which
are so commenting In this complaint, acting as [..]
mulus to coughing, and in quieting those convulsive excite
ments, and causing the affected to breathe and speak freely.
It procures rest and sleep in an eminent degree, and strength
ens the constitution, which enabies it to repel an enemy
whose attacks are frequently followed by the most fatal conse [..]
quences.

Persons affected with Pulmonary Complaints, or disorders
of the Breast and Laugs , (even in the most advanced [..]
and at the most advanced periods of life, will find instant re-
lief,

In Asthmatic and Consumptive Affections (recent or [..]
nic) Hoarsenesses, Cata [..] , Wheezings, and Difficulty of
Breathings, it will give immediate case.

Congealed Phlegm, Acrimony in the Fluids, and Obstruc-
tions in the Ulands, are with case and safety discharged by [..]

"DEAR SIR.

" I conceive it a duty I owe to the Pubic and to you, to
make this public acknowledgment of the great and singular
efficacy I have experienced from the use of that most excei-
tent MedicineCHURCH'S COUGH DROPS.

" I had been dreadfully afflicted, for several years, with a
[..] violent Cough, Shortness of Breath, and expectorated an
[..] quantity of glut noua matter, and a continual spit-
[..] blood, and very often my cough was so violent, that
[..] used to [..] out of my nostr is like the streams of
[..] a [..] all which brought me so extremely low, that I
was [..] able to stand upon my feet. In this dreadful situ-
ation, when the Faculty could render me no assistance, I made
application for your Cough Drops, which I am happy in af-
firming, [..] perfectly restored me to my former health and
strength. [..] first bottle increased my spitting to a degree,
and entirely stooped the spitting of blood and bleeding at the
nese; and two [..] bottles has perfectly cured me of my
Cough, and now I [..] as well as ever I was in my [..] and
have not a symptom [..] my disorder left, This I can leftify
before the Lord Mayor, or [..] other Magistrate in the Kingdom,
and will at any time.

"P. S. Since the Cough Drops have cured me, I have ad-
plied it to several [..] my children, who were afflicted with
coughs which would have ended in the hooping cough, and it
entirely cured them all."

SIR, [..] Dispensary City Road .
[..] I desire you will publish the following [..]
recently effected on myself by your invaluable Medicine.
I had been afflicted for a long time with a most dreadful
cough, shortness of breath, foreness and tightness at my sto-
mach, and my body was so swelled an puffed up with wind,
and at the same time my stomach so clogged with phleg [..]
that it was with difficulty I could draw my breath, And wa [..]
often threatened with suffocation. In this dreadful situation
I was providentially visited by the Collector of the Excise , at
Southampton , who recommended me to the immediate use of
your Cough Drops, which I sent for to your Dispensary, and
brough the instrumentality of one large bottle, I am per-
fectly cured of all my disorders. It immediately relieved the
cough and shortness of breath, and operating by expectoration,
discharged the viscid phlegm from my stomach, healed the
foreness, and expelled the wind in a wonderful manner, and,
indeed, I believe it has not its parallel in the world.
" I am, Sir,
