To re move the Disorders arising trout fashionable gaieties and to restore the debilitated constitution is the result of our study and experi ence, and we trust that thirty years successful rt actice in this pecuitaebranch of our profession gives us a slecisi-31 superiority over every other Practitioner. In recent cases of Syphilitic Mee don, &perfect cure is completed in the short period of two days, and in those Mrs of a more contplicated nature, where other practitioners have failed of success, &proper perseverance in our plan of treatment, ensures to the Patient a sound and perfect re establisfinteut. To those who are labouring under a general or decal Debility,it will be consolatory to know, that the Medicines we prescribe possess She inestimable power of reuovating the molt debilitated Constitution, whether it arises from the indiscretions of youth, or by a residence la hot or unhealthy climates, too video tar, a life, or too clove an application to study, massive grief, in judicious use et mercury, Ike. or should it proceed trout an habi tual tendency to constimprion, these our restoratives will produce the happiest effects. In place of Laminae and Debili:y, we offer lasting Health. Strength, and Spirits; and even to the aged and infirm our plan of treatment will afford relief and comfort, by gently and mfely invigorating the system. Numerous cases of Strictures have been, and are • daily under our care, the toed eradication of which is effected by a safe, cer tain, and expeditious mode of practice superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, relasarion, proceeding iron this complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored to sound and vigorous health.

To originate and promote such a design seems to be the peculiar duty of Great Britain, as the*first Maritime Power ; and, as we are given to undemand that another Congress is to be liehl in me Spring, /. permit me to suggest through your useful Piper, the following outline ior the consideration of those who, besides an ardent love of science, possess the means of access to men in power. I would propose that Great Britain, Rosie, and France, should engage to fit out and dispatch, each of them, at successive intervals of a year, three ves sels of proper size and eq « ment, to sail on voyages of discovery, under instructions to be prepared by a ' Committee of Sc:entific men, of different nation 4 who should meet together for the purpose.

Whether the Dozch or any other power should be allowed to cmtribre in stone way towards these expedlions, and to !hare in t air immediate benefits, may deserve c,msiderati,.n. - It Journals were sent from time to tine, during the progress of these expettittors, 'to the respective Governments, the word at large might be speedily informed of any important d;scovcrics, without wait ing for the tedious process of individual puislications, which are qen mutilateJ by traio.iators.
