MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet Street, has
introduced an entirely new description of ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They
so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer.
They will never change colour or decay, and will be found
superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does
not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, will support and preserve teeth that are loose,
and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.
Decayed teeth stopped, and rendered sound and useful in
mastication.

CAUTION.--IN CHANCERY.

CHLORODYNE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR WOOD stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne. Eminent hospital Physicians of London stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of Chlorodyne; that they prescribe it largely, and mean no other than Dr. Browne's.--See _Times_, July 13, 1864. The public, therefore, are cautioned against using any other than Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.

THIS INVALUABLE REMEDY produces quiet, refreshing sleep, relieves pain, calms the system, restores the deranged functions, and stimulates healthy action of the secretions of the body.

_From_ J. M'GRIGOR CROFT, _M.D., M.R.C. Physicians, London, late Staff-Surgeon to H.M.F._

"After prescribing Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, for
the last three years, in severe cases of Neuralgia and Tic
Doloreux, I feel that I am in a position to testify to
its valuable effects. Really in some cases it acted as a
charm, when all other means had failed. Without being asked
for this report, I must come forward and state my candid
opinion that it is a most valuable medicine."

_From_ JNO. E. GOULSTONE, _M.D., Knighton_.

"I can confidently state that Chlorodyne is an admirable
Sedative and Anti-Spasmodic, having used it in Neuralgia,
Hysteria, Asthma, and Consumption, with remarkably
favourable results. It relieved a fit of Asthma in four
minutes, where the patient had suffered eleven years in a
most distressing manner, no previous remedy having had so
immediate and beneficial an effect."

No home should be without it. Sold in bottles, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. Sent free, on receipt of stamps, by

Notes on Joe Miller From _Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia_:

Joe Miller (Joseph or Josias) (1684-August 15, 1738) was an
English actor, who first appeared in the cast of Sir Robert
Howard's Committee at Drury Lane in 1709 as Teague. Trinculo
in The Tempest, the First Grave-digger in Hamlet and Marplot
in Susanna Centlivre's The Busybody, were among his many
favourite parts. He is said to have been a friend of Hogarth.

He frequented the "Black Jack" tavern on Portsmouth Street
in London, which was a favourite of the Drury Lane players
and those from Lincoln's Inn Fields. Allegedly he was very
serious in the bar and this led to an in-joke whereby all
his companions ascribed all new jokes to him.

After Miller's death, John Mottley (1692-1750) brought out
a book called Joe Miller's Jests, or the Wit's Vade-Mecum
(1739), published under the pseudonym of Elijah Jenkins
Esq. at the price of one shilling. This was a collection
of contemporary and ancient coarse witticisms, only three
of which are told of Miller. This first edition was a thin
pamphlet of 247 numbered jokes. This ran to three editions
in its first year.

Owing to the quality of the jokes in Mottley's book, their
number increasing with each of the many subsequent editions,
any time-worn jest came to be called "a Joe Miller", a
Joe-Millerism, or simply a Millerism.
