31EDIC.1L AND LEGAL ADVERTISERS.

By what means it has happened it would be, if rot im-
possible, at hut needless to ascertain, but the fact is un-
deniable, that through the means of Advertisements, al-
most every object of want or necessity, as well as of pis-
aura and information, is now made known. Nook. who
would not formerly have dreamt of such a mode of an-
nouncing to the world their trade or profession, their rides
or intenions, now do not hesitate to do so; an] the vivo-
tisenaents of the periodical press, besides being a source of
vast revenue to the State, are looked to with is much cc•
riosity and attention as anything it offers. It is arausim,
however, to observe the squeamishness which the Incal I
of the two professions of Law and Meohciiic still shoo
upon die tothject. While the irregnlsr M.D. boldly smirk
his residence and ursu passed capaeit y, the regularly -41ubbol
Doctor would not for the world infarct' the public directly
where lie liv s, or in what branch of bin profession he ex-
cels. Hut though he does not do this directly, he sill pug'
Mansell indirectly to as great an extent as Doctor Salomon
himself. His door-plate is al ways the most eonspicurcs
lin the street. And thou.ell it would be highly counter
Monad for Dr. A. to advertise avowedly either where he
lives, or at what lour he sets his iatientr, yrt hers'
safely do this in the shale advertising the h noses which
he gives ; and though, by the same rule of etiqque. sa
actual avowal of his journey to or return from chi` et lhar
watering-place, would be extremely ungenteel snd mpro-
fessional, yet it' he can get it announced to the taw 0.11
I paragraph of fashionable news, the thing berm, 1
otherwise. If the good Doctor too has been ill, seme 141'
tar is kindly prevared upon to proclaim to his ansier-tt pa-
tients his recovery, and ability again to recc:ve them and
their fees, though actually toathrertise the fact would be
!monstrous. The lawyers are, in this respe:t, eves worse
