WITH T SHXh » §j WffHQi_T TEETH Entering upon ©ttr third year in Dtmodio, w^v fimTour PRACTICB h«a largely increased. Thif is owing to our STRICTLY ADHERING to that which we advertise, and to prove the conti> denoo we have in our new system of Mechajiical Dentistry, we are not alone willing, but anxious to re-make aay artificial denture (made by us) that ia not giving perfect COMFORT and SATISFACTION FREE of CHARGE. Considering that we have made over 1,300 artificial dentures, the above shows the confidence vej havo in our w>rb, *nd the meaning of GUARANTEEING SUCCESS, which we always have done and intend to do. We are often asked "kow it v our practice has increased so much." FOR tfHE FOLLOWING REASONS.': Firstly. Doing highest class work. Secondly. Using only tlio best material. Thirdly. Imitating nature as.clo6ely as possible in our work. Fourthly. Making our dentures bo that they are comf oi table. Fifthly. Making a temporary set or part set without extra charge, so that the patient is not without teeth during; tho time the gums aro altering, after the extraction of tho natural ones, which delay causes the, chin to protrude and alter the whole contour of the face. Sixthly. Charging strictly mouderate fees. Seventhly. Acting strictly according to 'that which we advertise. Eighthly. Arranging with these who cannot afford to pay the whole at once, to take part or monthly payments. Lastly. Calling the attention of every thinking person (even those most wealthy) to the fact that the ACTUAL COST of an artificial denture is very slight : it is the WORKMANSHIP that is the principal expense, and as we faithfully GUABANTBE that our WORKMANSHIP cannot be surpassed iv the Colony, there is no use to throw away money by paying high price for a possibly inferior article, A Single Artificial ToetU ... 1©«. Sets equally moderate. Artificial Teeth made by other dentist* remodelled at small cost. PAINLESS DENTISTRY. Mr S.

NOTES AND QUERIES. T. H. M. writes, in answer to W. T. G. in Notes and Queries of January 27 : I landed in Melbourne in July 1852, iv Governor La Troua'a time. My first essay on " thfl diggins," as they were then called, WRs'in October of that year at Moonlight Flat, Forest Creek ; afterwards at Smyth's Creek. Bnllarat, and at the Black Lead, Creswick's Creek. After that at many ether places. It was during my stay at Creswick that the Baliarat riots took pace, iv which I did not participate. Those riots tore tbe monthly 30s license law to ra>,'B and tatteis, but at a sad loss of life. This was in Sir Charles Hotham'6 time. 1 took a 30s monthly license out at Forest Creek and Creswick, and, bo far as my memory serves, I am pretty certain that the licenso was for a month from the date of issue. I may as well confesß that I did not religiously obey tbe law in regard to renewing mj monthly license. More frequently I had none at all beyond the old one, which I always kept about me handy, Admission of neglect of renewal would have been a lame excuse, little better than none at all. But I always kept my weather eye open also, and had the faculty of rendering myself invisible at the approach of Governor Hotham's myrmidons, when the cry of " Joe " was shouted down the gullies as a warning of danger. This singular faculty was possessed by many hundreds of diggers besides myself, and inwardly exercised when pressing occasions demanded. The drives in and through the various claims were very handy for that purpose. Licenses were Issued any day of the month, and I think had the license been available only to the end of the current month , instead of amonth from date, I should hardly have forgotten it. Such a thing wouldhavecertainly intensified theburningfever of the diggers in regard to the oppressiveness of the ridiculouß law, and the monstrous behaviour, too often, of the police in executing it. Oh, those times 1 I would be so glad to see a few (not all) of their features here just now. Onehundred pounds down on the capstan for the run home for men before the mast, before tbe anchor waa weighed. Oats in Melbourne, 25s a bushel. Gold, £3 per oz. Now, alas ! 25 pence a bushel would be a handsome figure for my oats ; and as for gold it i 3 an utter stranger. Where again shall I meet with Buchanmn as I met with at Moonlight, who, wanting to say something to me, had to empty his mouth of about half a pannikin full of nuggets from the size of horscbeaus to marbles, gathered from the one tub of four buckets of washdirfc before him ? I saw that tub cradled off, and in addition to the nuggets that he spat from his mouth, the owner panned out fully an ounce of beautiful gold, liecollections crowd upon me— some good, some far otherwise— but space forbids my extending them further on this occasion. | John Sanders, Dunedin, writes on the same subject :-I was at Forest Creek nine months, part in 1851 and 1852. Lieutenant-governor La Trobe was up in 1851. I was there at tbe time. No matter what date the license wbs taken out, it only ran to the end of the month in which it was issued. I was at Forest Creek at the very fust rush.— " Miner," St. Bathans, writes to the same effect, so that the balance of the evidence is in favour of the assertion that the license expired at the end of the month in which it was issued, unless, as we suggested last week, the regulation was amended so as to enable it to run a full month, no matter what date it witf issued on. W. Tuapeka, writes:— Supposing we had a run of pipes SOft or 70ft long coming dowji a steep sidling where the fall would be. say, ftOifc. Would we get more pressure on a 1 Jin nozzle nt the bottom with llin pipes limn with 7ia pipes, or would small pipes be as well for us sio large onus ?— Mr Beverly replies : — There would be no sensible advantage gained with llin pipes if the length is less than 1000 ft. This may be s^en by the table given in last week's Witness. A. $ÜBSCKiB_R.-r_he officer in charge ol the district is apparently tot attending to nis duty if
