STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. COURTEiNAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experignce in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has entailed, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of ant- of his contemptararies. It is, therefore, no
mat, er of sur. rise that he should enjoy;, the reputation of being a
most elexterous and skilful manipulator With urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the laminted Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res •ect ; and for our part, with, the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to 'whose care w, would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circu!ar.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE,
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
WINTER SEASON, 1855,

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH
begs ma t respectfully to announce:4l,qt, this favourite place
of amusement will f n•ENT on MONI*AY,-0A.4. 3d, under new au-
spices, and with a series of Extraordinary I'e-formances As every-
thing the Wizard 'ays his hand on necessarily undergoes some
start inz cha• ge. the I yceum Theatre wilt Si' a wave, of his Magic
Wan', be instantly transformed into the Wiktr•l's Psyc mauthetim
while the el ss Enterfa nment, presentedlxithin its wills will be
as unlike an, th nn that has hen seen before as it Is os••ible to con-
ceive. Preparations have been I t prog• ego f•r many months past to
pro 'uce these Eotertsimnents on a scale ot magnitude and txeelle ce
worthy of the 5, izard's fame arid po:sularity. Hi•t assistant spirits
ha' e been ordered to spare no •-xeef•se in the compounding of their
spells; and the result it is hoped will he art EnterLa nment which,
'or " start ing efft c's," will far out-trip tlikAvildest French mel
; with " rapid • han,es" more urprising that an a dot's play-
ing twenty parts, in twenty diffe ent dresses; with tricks more
wonderful than tho-e of an adult rating tradesman: and " trans-
formations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with
envy.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having I
corn, leted th • entire circuil of the globe, and visit• d dmost every
part of Furope, Am rict. India, and Australia. atended everywhere
with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of
an, individual aspiri••g o the titles of a co m po itan artiste, will give
his extra,rdinary IDS:LAsSEMENs IQUES in the above
Theatre for a limited pe,lod, preparatory to his final retirioment
from punlie life. No ex rtioo will be spared on hi.. part to secure
the contir uance o' the public favour which he has hitherto enjoyed
wherever he has presented himself. Int the Continent from t
tershurg o Mad id; in America, from Canada to Me ico, and
f-om New York t . San Fr .n•tiseo; everywhere, in short. hive the
Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in " astonishing the
natty.," of the various countries visited. His performances have
been prtronised • y audiences ammnt ng in the ag-regate to very
many mil•ions ; and he is the only British Professor of his art
of
who, in addition to havhig been honoured by all the ourts
Eitrot•te, th.s also been commandel to perform before her Majesty
the QUEEN.
Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due
deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. lle has devoted h mself
for ye rs to the perfecting it, and rend ring it more fitted 'o amuse
and entertain the puhlie. That he has been successful in his efforts
he thinks, from wha' he has said, is pretty retain ; indeed a life-
time spent in diligent pnr uit of exeePence in any art, whatever it
may he, can acarc.ly fad in producing some degree of efficiency.
It is the result of this long study that will be p•esented at the
Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto un,ittempted will
b. exhibited by the 'id of apparatus outrivalling any that has b en
preVoasly constructed.
an th r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens ‘lagiques
will he a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of
the ace, with illu,tratiom; of the mechanism, mysten , aid mischief
of tiirit-rapp ng, Table-turning, Clai•-voyance, and other delusions,
to he c!a.sed generally under the now pooular head of the " sell "
theory. In the Wiz trd's perormanc 's there w• 11 be tound mirth,
for those who seek merriment ; mystery, tor those wl o fancy the
myiterious ; parasto es, for the lovers at the paradoxical ; wonders,
for th se who like the wonderful ; starti•ng surprise., or those eager
for exeitement- There will be science ;or .he sage, wisdbm fur the
philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness tor al. it will he
the Professor's object, in fact, to produce a play cab night in which
the audience themselves shall be the aetor4, and which, whatever
the tint may he, -hall certainly be fr.e from the fault of many mo-
dern dramas— the fault of lacking incident or exciting situations and
unexpected dkouemens
Such will he the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of
Wonders. It will he an ordinary to which. he will welcome all.
The of fare will shortly he pehlishecl iii tit, programme now
preparing; and Profess r Anderson, the carver of the feast, will
