DR. C. KELILNIEZ. e your Teeth and Gums ina healthy condition? Your breath sweet and pure? WHY WILL YOU SUFFER?

ET it be remembered that one great special consideration

in life is the enjoyment of hea!th,and to be free from pain and the distress caused by decayed teeth and sore gums, am evil peculiar to this country. _ But now when a certain remedy which can be depended on, is at hand, within the reach of the most humble individual, and is neglected, seems to be a species of fatuity. There is no excuse. ‘This mode of cure as practised, is not a mere fancy scheme. predicted on some uncertain | heories, or an experiment of doubtful character, but it is sure and certain, the tooth- ache will cease at once. This original diseo practice is the result of viose experience and stnerdalien, 7 experiment- ing, regarding the scientific rules in the treatment of th+as organs for the.r preservation, and resulted in being able to cure at once, without pain or extracting the Tooth. This mode of cure has received the encomium by many of the first families some have pronounced it a miracle, such immediate relief when other approved remedies had failed.

Thousands of valuable teeth are barbarously lost and eacri-

Ar

they are their natural, constitutional and inalienable rights. What we intended to convey by our remarks of Monday last, and what any person of common sense might have understood, was, that as regards the distribution of the public revenue and the possession of Government employments, the Catholics | were not so high! y fayoured as other denominations. They | have not atall a fair proportion of the school money ; and) while there isa y ry large grant for the Prince of Wales Col- lege—grante for Private schools at Georgetown, and for one or two private schoo!s in this City, there is not one shilling voted for St. Dunstan's College or for the Convent Seminary, at bota of which institutions an education of the highest class ean be chtained.

Ae regards official employments, there. ie pot on office worth having in the possession of a Catholic. The few Catholics who held small offices when the present Government came into paver were unceremoniously dismissed; and amongst the Parties so dismissed were many respectable gentlemen who, bed Sot shown any opposition to the Government. When the Government was about being formed in 1359, it was proposed, a8 we understand, to bring a Catholic inte the Executive Couneil—for it was well known that many respectable Catho- Jica could be fognd at that time well qualified to Gll the office

‘have used the people’s money in such manner and for such purposes as they dare not or will not make known to ihe peopie. In view of these statements, and of the fact that no tenantry solicited the purchase of at least one of the estates lately purchased, the inference is inevitable that a job has been perpetrated, involving the complicity of one or more of the Government or of their hangers-on. Were not sueh the true explanation of the ease, why did the Government override lew by an illegal issue of Warrants for the purchase of any public lands? Why, if their eonduet would bear exposure,
