The value of a fine set of teeth, whether in relation to ornament or utility, is too obvious to require any argument to enforce it. Next to the preservation of the natural teeth, the acquisition of a good ARTIFICIAL set is desirable. The advertisers beg leave to state that they have in- serted many full sets; and as many persons, unacquainted with the ad- vanced state of the profission, doubt the utility of entire sets, they offer the most unquestionable evidences of success, both in relation to cases where springs were proper, and others sustained by ATMOSPHERIC SUC- TION, to those interested, who will call at their rooms, on
MARKET STREET, FIRST DOOR ABOVE CONCERT HALL.
ECONOMY IS WEALTH. HOLLAND'S LABOR-SAVING . CHEMICAL SOAP, FOR WASHING. For Falo, only, at No. 6 Olive street.
By the use of this article a GREAT saving of hard work is effected, and an economy of one half of the ordinary expense, while the clothes will be rendered beautifully clear and white, without requiring half the rubbing usually necessary, as it loosens the dirt and grease from them at once; consequently they will not wear out near so fast.
The wonderful sale which this Soap has met with in New England, and the entire satisfaction expressed by those who have tried its efficacy, indaces the manufacture of it in St. Louis.
The price is only FIVE cents per pound, and Box 25 cents, for which however the money will be refunded if returned in good order.
The public are respectfully invited to call and examine this article, and also a new and superior SHAVING SOAP, which is most highly recommended by all who have made use of it.

PUBLISHER'S ADVERTISEMENT.
THE publisher of the ST. LOUIS DIRECTORY, in presenting to the public its third edition, begs leave respectfully to return his thanks for the very liberal patronage with which the work has met, and of which the present number will be found more worthy than either of its prede- cessors. Great care and pains have been bestowed in the compilation of this edition, in the hope of rendering it entirely acceptable to the public; but the publisher is aware that he cannot claim to have achiev- ed entire success. He feels satisfied, however, that no inaccuracies will be found which can be attributed to neglect, or inattention, on his part. Such as exist are necessarily incident to the work, which it is impracti- cable to make as perfect as might be wished.
An apology is, however, due from the publisher to his patrons for the failure that has taken place in fulfilling one part of his proposals,-that in which he promised to present with the Directory a Map of the City. He found it impossible to obtain the map without an expense far beyond what the price of the Directory would justify, and he hopes for the in- dulgence of his subscribers, particularly as he now presents them for the same price that has been heretofore charged more than double the quan- tity of matter. He intends to publish a Directory for 1842, when he will endeavor to present the map with an increased quantity and variety of matter.
SKETCH OF ST. LOUIS.
THE site on which St. Louis stands was selected, as far back as 1763, by Mons. LACLEDE, and in the following year the town was laid off and named St. Louis, in honor of Louis XV, the reigning monarch of France, who claimed the whole territory then designated by the name of Louisiana. The advantages of its situation soon attracted attention, and in the year after its settlement the French commandant, St. Ange, arrived at St. Louis, and the town became the capital of Louisiana, and so continued until the transfer of that territory to the U. States.
