RESPECTFULLY' informs the Ladies and

his profession, in its#arious branches.
His manner of operating is on anew prin
ciple, which lias btcn approved by the most
eminent Surgeons of our couulry and Eu
rope. His operation in cleaning the teeth or
their tartar and loulness, he warrants not to
injure the Enamel, which he never touches
w ith his instruments. He extracts teeth or
stumps in the easiest manner, and recom
mends the cutting off the decayed part ol
teeth, as a safe and efficacious remedy for the
tooth-ache and which does away the necessity
of extracting, as every anatomist knows there
is in the middle of each tooth, a little cavity
in which the fine branches of nerves passing
through (In roots of the teeth, are expanded;
this expansion of nervous matter, is the seat
of sensation in the teeth, and when by caries,
or decay of the Enamel, it is exposed to the
influnce of external agencies, the patient is
generally obliged, on account of the violence
of the pain, to have the whole tooth pulled
out, and which is entirely unnecessary, as the
part of the tooth above described, including
the cavity, may be cut off with the greatest
case and cerclinty and the sound root or roots
may remain in their sockets, and tliis mode ol
operation occasions little or no pain, and the
surface of the firm stump remaining in the
jaw, presents a base for mastication, or for
fixing an artificial tooth.
He manufactures and fixes teeth so as they
cannot be discovered from those- nuture has
given us, and will answer all purposes, both

“American Bible Society’s house,
New-York Sept. 25th, 1826.
Geo. W. Warner esq
Dear Sir,
Your letter under date of June
9th, came to hand in due time, and
has been laid before the managers of
the Institution. The resolution of
the Board of managers of the Mor
gan county auxiliary Bible Society,
namely, “That in the opinion ofthe
Board, an annual Convention ofDe
lagates from all the county auxiliary
Bible Socities in the Stata, would es
sentially contribute to tho prosperity
and‘usefulness of these Institutions”
—appoars to (he managers of the
Parent Institution, an important res
olution ; and they wish to express to
you their earnest desire that it may
be carried into effect. Nothing
creates such efficiency among any
combinations of men, as union—un
ion in feeling and action; and no
thing can be better calculated than
the convention proposed, to procure
such union. Delegates coming to
gether from different parts of the
State, will be able to instruct each,
other, as to the best modes of car
ring into operation, the designs of the
Society—as they will learn wher*
their efforts are most needed ; where
they can obtain new helpes ; and how
they can best allay sectional and par
ty prejudices. There seems to be
the same propriety in convincing
occasionally, the members of a reli
gious institution, that there is, in
convincing a state, or Congressional
Legislature. What State would long
act understanding!)- and efficiently, in
the management of public affairs,
with r.o great Legislative bond to
unite them. Should it be said, that
such a convention of Bible Societies
will cost time, labor, expense,—l will
say, admit it—and will sav, too, that
the cause deserves it. If it is impor
tant that three millions of destitute
countrymen shall be supplied with
the Bible; and that provision shall
be making for the half a million of
annual increase, which our popula
tion gains; and if it is important
that sixteen millions of South Ameri
cans, long oppressed, should be sup
plied with the Bildc—if those con
siderations are ofqouscquence; theu
it is proper, that thore should be con
