![C. ASH AND SONS' MINEKAL TEETH. C. Ash and Sons' stock comprises a most extensive assortment of Tube, Pivot, Vulcanite, and Flat Teeth, of various forms, sizes, and colours. These Teeth have long been esteemed for their excellence and similarity to Natural Teeth in form and colour, and also because they are generally so free from porosity (or air-bubblcs) in their texture, that they can be ground and polished to any extent that may bo necessary to suit special cases. The greatest care and attention is bestowed on this, the staple branch of their Manufactures, and new forms, sizes, and colours, are being continually added to their stock, in order to meet as far as possible the requirements of an art which has for its object the close imitation of Natural Teeth in their infinite varieties of form, colour and general appearance. To aid Dentists in ordering, C. Ash and Sons supply an improved Set of Shades, consisting of 36 Teeth, which represents the colours and shades chiefly in demand. Each Tooth in the Set is mounted on a separate slip of brass, nickel- plated, bearing the colour and shade—a letter indicating the colour, and a number the shade. The Charge for the Set is 25s. (A smaller Set than the above, showing only the most useful shades, may be had for ] 7s. 6cZ.) This arrangement enables the Operator to place any Tooth against those in the mouth of the Patient, and, when he has fouud the shade which matches, it is only necessary for him to write for B/3, D/4, &c., in order to obtain the colour and shade he requires. The shades in this set are not intended to show all that are kej)t in stock, but they are useful as proximate shades, and will be fouud very con- venient as a means of reference when patterns cannot be sent. ORDERS FOR TEETH should contain the fullest possible in- formation to ensure their prompt and accurate execution, A written order is always preferred. It is necessary to state clearly— Kind —Whether Flat, Vulcanite, Diatoric, Tube, or Gum. Size—Whether large, medium, or small. Length—Whether long or short enamel. Number—Whether in sets of 6, 14, or 28. Surface—Whether smooth, corrugated, or natural pattern. Colour—When a pattern cauuot be sent, please quote from the Set of Shades.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21452325_001_0018.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
