    ADVERTISEMEN T THE fuccefs attending the new difcovery of artificial teeth formed of a mineral fubfiance, in this kingdom, during [even years that the author has been efiab- lifhed in it, and the confidence obtained from feveral of the nobility and the public in general, has determined him to continue refident in this metropolis, where he has ob- tained from his Majefiy an aB of naturalization, and he takes this opportunity to make the mofi refpeclful acknowledgements for the patronage he has received, by Jubmitting the prefent work to attentive confideration. In order to prove the fuperiority of the invention, to every thing of the kind which has hitherto been praftifed, it is thought necejfary to place at the end of the Dijfertation, the approbations and recommendations of the Academy of Sciences, and of the Faculty and Royal Society of Medicine at Paris; as alfo feme of thofe which have been given by eminent phyficians and Jurgeons, who have been eye-wtinejJCs of the fuccefs of the operations: of this number are Dr. Reynolds, Dr. Valangin, Sir Walter Farquhar, Dr. Rowley, Dr. Moore, Dr. Poignand, Dr. Pearson, Phyficians of London-, Mejfrs. John Hunter, Tomkins, Earle, Young, Corp, Moore, Brand, WSaumarez, Surgeons of London, as alfo Mr. March, Surgeon-dentifi in this metropolis -, Mr. Younge, and Mr. Groot, Apothecaries. In France-, Mr. Fourcroy, Mr. Petit, Mr. Darcet, Mr. Vicq^d’Azir, Phyficians of the Facidty of ParisMr. Louis, Surgeon of Paris-, Mr. Sabba- tier, principal Surgeon of the Hofpital for difabled joldiers at Paris ; Mr. Brador, Surgeon at Paris; Mr. Desault, principal Surgeon of the Hotel-Dieu at Paris-, Mr. Sue, principal Surgeon of the Charity-Hofpital; Mr. Beaupreau, Surgeon- dentifi at Paris. If the names of more than three thoufand perfons could with propriety be men- tioned, who make ufie of the new invented teeth, which are the fubjecl of this Difiertation, this approbation would fully prove the fuperior advantages of teeth formed of mineral pafte: but preferving inviolate thofe bounds the confidential duties of the profeffion pre- fcribe, no patient's name can be pronounced without the mofi exprefs permiffion.
