AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR , .with REMARKS on the VARIOUS INCIDENTS which have occurred durinc , FORTY-FIVE YEARS of his LIFE, and a FULL DESCRIPTION of his MODE of TREATING "MSEASES, with REASONS EXPLANA TORY of HIS SYSTEM. By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE, Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections on In digestion, Gout, Tenia Capitis, Scarlet Fever," &c. &c. " Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour_ neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to allevia e the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention." — Times,. Nov. 3. " In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in rite has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer dint of perseverance, am c showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accom plished by energy and good conduct; and it is written in a cheerful and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may read."—The Sun, Nov. 5.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which far some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds bis beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are s ure to be compromised , unless t he evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point outl, he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The Additions, made by way of Bonus to the Policies of this Office vary from Ten per Cent. to upwards of Sixty per Cent. on the Capital Sums Assured, according to the &ration of the Policy. Parties desirous of Insuring are reminded of the advantages which will arise to such as are effected within the current year, the Regulations of the Society requiring that, before additions can become absolutely vested, the Policies entitled thereto must have been in endurance at least five full and complete years. This condition, which forms part of the system of most of the Mutual Insurance Societies, will, of course be satisfied at the next periodical investigation on the 31st of December, 1845, in regard to all Policies opened within the year 1840.
