Gladden' s Grove, Dec 70 Montague's Halm, An Irulian Remedy Fur the Tooth- Ache. TIIE established reputation and constantly in creasing demand tor tbis effectual remedy of pain and preservative of the teeth, has induced the Proprietor to offer it to the American public. Ar rangements have been made to supply agents in all the principal citics and towns in the United States, so as to place it within the reach of those suffering and likely to suffer with this most harassing of all Aches, TOOTH-ACHE. The cacse of decay in teeth is the depositing of small particles of masticated food (either animal or vegetable) in the indentations of the teeth, or be tween them, which there remain until decay of this food takes place, the acidity of which decomposes the tooth. The great difficultyofall that have writ ten treatises on the teeth, has been, to recommend a liquid, that would mix itself up with this fetid mat ter, so as to weaken it to such a degree, as to pre vent its affecting the teeth. This ^discovery (purely accidental) has not only been brought to light, by the use of which the de Q8JT may be arrested ?but its application to an aching tooth (when the nerve can be reached) affords almost instantaneous relief. And if its use is continued until the bottle is consumed, none need apprehend pain from the same tooth. Jt may be remarked, that the teeth are as subject to ache, as any other bone ofthe system, and in the same way- But far tooth ache, proper, a remedy is now offered to the public, that has become ttie wonder, as well as the admira tion of every one that has become acquainted with its reputation. Since a remedy has been discov ered for a disease so general and so excruciating as the tooth-ache, the proprietor has been more than ever struck with the grand and benevolent provis ions made for man, in all his afflictions, and is fully satisfied, that the.eartliis supplied with a remedy at hand for every disease, where the cause may be give me the refusal, whenever " * to i .i . t* i /? i make that kind of a trade. I plugged a tooth for a lady in Petersburg, which, from its very sensitive condition, I was unable to shape the csvity so as to retain the plug; and after two or three trials, I recommended the use of Mon tague's Balm, which so deadened the surface of the cavity as to enable me to shape it perfectly, and plug the tooth permanently. ^ S. M. SHEAPH1SRD, Surgeon Dentist. Petersburg, 3d Jan., 1836. We iavite the attention of all persons afflicted with that most excruciating complaint, the tooth ache, to the advertisment of Mr. Montague, publish ed (in to-day's paper.) We have a guarantee in the high standing and respectability of Mr Montague, (trUifjrhoTn we are acquainted,) that his medicine is not one of those thousand empiricisms which are constantly palmed upon the credulity of the public. In addition to the many testimonials which "he has furnished of its efficacy, we will state a fact which comes under our own knowledge. A lady of this village had been suffering for several weeks with tooth-ache, and was immediately and permanently relieved by the application of the bzlm.?Boydion (Fa.) Expositor. Matthews Court House, May 20th, 1836. To H. B. Montague: ? * Dear Str ? while we were in Norfolk on our return from Petersburg" we saw a man at the Union Hotel (the place that we put up at) who had the tooth-ache very badly, and could get no relief : we recommend ed your Balm, and showed, or rather went with him to the place where it could be obtained, He bought a bottle and tried it, and in less than five minutes he was relieved. He said he had tried every thing he could think of at different times, but this was the first thing he ever met with that ever re ieved him. He said he wouldjecommeod it to every body, and ii-jj willing to give his certificate as tQ the efficacy of it. ~ With respect, yours <fcc. THOMAS S. LEWIS, CHARLES H. EDWARDS. Huntington, near Cabtn PotnL, 24th March. H. B. Montague, _ Dear Sir. ? I bought a bottle of your Balm from Messrs , in Petersburg in February, chiefly be cause I had a servant who had suffered most excru ciatingly for some months. We had tried all the remedies which were in our reach; an attempt was made to extract the tooth, but it broke off I caused i the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup? this was repeated with a second spoonful, when she was entirely relieved. The next night she came a gain for more, saying that a tooth on the other side ached and also requested some for her husband, whom, she said, had been suffering with the s ime disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it, and the next day on inquiry found that both had been relieved. ODe of my neighbors of high respectabili ty sent to me for some for his wile. Ihave this day seen him, and he assures me that it afforded imme diate relief, and there has been no return ; before, she suffered almost constantly, and could not .bear to let cold water touch the toeth, and for two nigh La previous to the application she had not been able to sleep scarcely at all. Now she has no inconveni ence from cold water or anything else that comes in contact with the tooth. The night before last he used some with one of his men with the same suc cess, and says if he could have had this remedy fii teen years ago, and known its efficacy, he would willingly have given a hundred dollars for it. I have written in haste, giving a plain statement of facts. Yours respecfully, WM. F. R. RUFFIN. Albemarle, April, 1836. Dear Sir:? Several persons with diseased gums, urvy, have used the Balm, and ate so much de ed with it, that we are chafed to keep a ?up !y The ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums they have ever used. Allow us to congratu late you and the public, at the discovery and use of the only real remedy (except drawing) for tooth ache, that has yet been discovered. Respectft^y^ours,^ Persons taking medicine, with a view to salivation, should, by all means, use at least a bottle ot the Balm with the tooth-brush, (applying u . three or four times a day) as an astringent, in order to have the gums in a healthy state, for the protection of the teetu. After mercurial action, it should be used free ly, to cause the gums to adhere at once to the teeth, to guar* against looseness, and falling out. Indeed, it is the best wash for the mouth, during salivation, that can be used. If too strong at first, add a small portion of water. . ^tis with peculiar pleasure that the proprietor hears of the good already done, while he contem plates the*elief yet to be afforded -by this widely spreading remedy. He re^ bowevef that he has not been able to supply the demand. The pre parations, though large, were not based on rts sud den and unexampled popularity. The demand has surpassed all calculation ; but arrangements are now making, which will enable all applicants to get a supply as it is ordered. When applied according to directions given on the bottle, it has never fin ed to affo^ and permanent relief. It also arrests the decay in defective teeth, and relieves that soreness which so frequently renders a strong tooth use^ application and remedy are simple , ? unpleasant^ the large number of ?i*oi ferent sections of the country, that have atoady experienced such delightful and ^^ry effects from the use of the Balm, are ready to bear, , (for the public eood,) their testimony, to its unrivaled qualities.
