TIETTS'S PATENT BRANDY having been
JIL, now before the Public since 1825, the proof of its excellence in
its use by discriminative consumers being continuous and increasinc.
and its purity and excellence being vouched for by the HIGHEST
MEDICAL AUTHORITIES, warrant Messrs. J. T. BETTS and CO.
in inviting universal attention to it as an article of incomparable
merit. Their PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES are, at the same time,
effective security to the public against the fraudulent sub4titution of
any interior article, whether as regards their PATENT BRANDY,
their celebrated Whiskey, TRE DEW OFF BEN NEVIS," or
their STANDARD OF COGNAC BRANDY; either of which may be
ghtained of respectable Wine and Spirit Merchants throughout the
BETTS
quantities of not less than Two Gallons, from J. T.
BETTS and CO., Distillery, 7, Smithfleld.bars, London.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRH(EA,
with the View to, the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondrlasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the lt, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which itsmay be in his
pn,ver to correct."—T,ondon Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
" We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its Way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treAs, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much n oney ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xvill. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet th,
tt•eatrnent adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

THE MURDER IN THE FOREST OF DEAN.—DRYBROOB,
MONDAY.—To-day the inquest on the body of William
Peake, the sawyer, who was found dead in the road
near this place on Thursday week, having been killed by
a knife or some other sharp instrument being thrust
through one of his eyes to the brain, was resumed before
John Lovegrove, Esq., one of the coroners for the
county of Gloucester. The only evidence taken to-day
was that of the father and mother of the prisoner. Mary
Greenhaf, the prisoner's mother, proved that on the night
of the supposed murder she went to bed about nine
o'clock, and that her son James (the prisoner) did not
come home until some time after, when her husband let
him in. She was examined also with respect to a cloth
which the police found in the house with blood upon it,
as if a knife had been wiped with it. She swore that on
the Sunday before the supposed murder her husband's
nose bled, and that he wiped it on this cloth. Thomas
Greenhaf, the father of the prisoner, however, denied
that he had had his nose bleeding on the Sunday, but he
said his nose bled on the Monday, and that he used the
cloth then, and was scolded by his wife for doing so.
This witness also give evidence as to the time the pri-
soner came home on the night of the supposed murder.
It was about a quarter past eleven o'clock, and he was
drunk. He smoked a pipe by the fire, and then went to
bed, witness assisting him up stairs, and helping to un-
dress him. He and his brother John were up early next
day, and off to work. The prisoner, on being asked if
he had anything to say, and being duly cautioned, said
he knew nothing about it. Some further facts having
come to the knowledge of the police, which they inti-
mated might lead to important results, the coroner was
requested again to adjourn the inquiry. The inquiry was
accordingly adjourned to the 3d of January, 1853.
SALMON.—The shortening of the fishing season, and
returning to the old close time, by shutting on the
26th of August, in place of the 14th September, was
voluntarily adopted at the end of last fishing season
above the junction of the Earn, and has been acted upon
by the proprietors. It seems to have been attended
with great success, as fish have not been so plentiful for
many years as at this close time. The Tay and its
tributaries appear to be swarming with fish.—Edinburgh
Witness.
