EAU DE SUEZ.

In this age of scientific discovery, when everything , is done to make life as easy and pleasant as possible, when tho uso of umesthotios to alleviate pain has been carried to an extent undreamed of by ouranccsstors, it is surely time a remedy should be found for one of the most crying evils our civilisation is subject to, namely, tho decay of the teeth, and consequent ill-health uf the whole body. M. Suez is the happy discovcror of this much desired boon ; his Eiiu do Suez seems to realise the fables of the bottle of genii in the " Arabian Nights, so magical and mighty are its powers. It is sold in three different preparations, distinguished by a yellow, gnen, and red thread, and M. Suez recommends all those suffering from acute toothache to use the yellow thread, which will instantly stop the most violent pain. Those who suffer from periodical attacks of toothache, decayed teeth, sensitives gums, or other diseases of the mouth should uso the green thread, daily mixing ten or twelve drops in half a tumbler of water, and washing the mouth night and morning; they will thus preserve their teeth white and sound, keep tho gums in healthy condition, the breath sweet, and set disease and decay at defiance. The red thread is intonded for children, and those fortunato persons who possess sound teeth and healthy gums, and will prevent their over becoming painful or diseased. The Eau de Suez is perfectly harmless. M. Suez considers that his discovery will in a few years put an end to false teeth, extraction, and all the tortures dentists inilioL on their unhappy victims; not that we wish to cast a slur upon an honourable and hard-working profession, but simply to point out the unnecessary pain humanity is made to suffer from a mistaken viow of the truo treatment of the mouth and teeth. M. Suez also recommends tho iise of his Orango Tooth Paste for whitening , and cleansing the teeth, and a particular kind of soft tooth-brush (made from the finest badger-hair), instead of the usual hard kind, which he terms a '' criminal instrument," inasmuch as it weakens and finally destroys the gums, thus leaving the teeth exposed, and imparting an offensive mnell to the breath. Of course the marvellous properties of Eau do Suez—Vaccine for the mouth, as it has justly been called — will not at once be appreciated ; people arc so fond of saying about anything new, as Agassiz phrased it, "First, that it is not truo; secondly, that it is against religion ; thirdly, that everybody knew it!" But M. Suez's grand discovery has already met with great success in France, as its immense sale, and tho articles descanting on its merits which have appeared in tho Figaro, Vie Pariaienne, and other papers, testify. So great is the popularity of M. Suez's preparations, that several imitations have been made ; sec, therefore, that each bottle bears tho name of " Wilcox and Co." on the label, and each tooth-brush the name "Suez" on the handle. We hear upon good authority that Messrs Wilcox and Co., of 239, Oxford-street, London, have forwarded consignments to Messrs Teacher and Co., Bombay, Bycull, and Poona ; also to Messrs Smith," Stanistreet and Co., Calcutta ; in order that the Indian public may benefit by this valuable discovery
