The benevolence of th• British public is earnestly AP PEALED to in behalf of the. distressed Hungarians, daily seeking •n our shores a refuge from the too certain fate which would await them in their own country, where many of them were persons of rank, education, and influence. Their destitute condition has already awakened the sympathy of a number of kind-hearted individuals, who, without reference to political opinions, are ever ready to re the distressed, and a subscription was privately raised amount- as per list below, to 5081.35. 9d. This sum is now exhausted, and many urgent cases remaining that still require assistance, while others are daily expected to arrive, the only resource is this public appeal, which is made by the undermentioned, in the hope that they shall not plead the cause of suffering humanity in vain. They will be happy to receive any subscriptions that may be kindly forwarded to them, aid pledge themselves to the proper and most economical distribution of what may be confided to their care, every caso being closely investigated by competent persons before being relieved.

Matriculated Member of the University of Idin. burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un tertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering :root their invariable COR squences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent hie seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. L.4'3IERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his .41plomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
