BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
"From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

" To Mr. Front, 229, Strand."
For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
reux, &c., Fec., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra-
pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

PROSPECTUS.
It is intended to construct a Railway between Goealming and
Havant, 32 miles in length, to afford a more direct and a cheaper
communication between London and Portsmouth, as wee as Railway
accommodation generally to the large extent of unopened country
through which it will pass.
The deposit of plans and sections, and all other necessary steps,
have been taken with a view to an application for an Act of Incor-
poration during the present Session of Parliament.
The line will commence at the end of the Godalming Branch of
the South-Western Railway, and will pass the towns of Godalming.
Haslemere, and Peters&ld, and generally following the route of the
Direct Portsmouth Railway as sanctioned by Parliament in 1546, to
Havant, it will there unite with the Coast Line of the Brighton Corn-
eany, and the Fareham Extension Line of the South-Western Com-
pany, and proceed thence directly to the town and harbour of Ports-
mouth.
The landowners and others locally interested in the district have
concurred in promoting this measure., and have, to the extent of
nearly three-fourths of the length of the line, signed agreements for
the sale of their land at its mere agricultural value, and in several
instances have agreed to take the company's shares in payment.
The connexion with the South-Eastern Railway, near Godalming,
will secure to the preposed line the advantage of a second entrance
into and exit from London, the one to the west end, and the other
to the heart of the City, establishing by the same means also a
direct communication, and with a great saving in distance, between
the metropolis, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Reigate, and the
South-eastern Line generally, and Guildford, Portsmouth and the
Isle of Wight, as well as with all the intervening country.
The line will effect all the objects contemplated by the Direct
Portsmouth Act of 1846, but at the reduced cost of 400,0001. now,
instead of 1,500,000/. then required.
It has been also further greatly improved by a late survey made
under the directions of Messrs. Locke and Errington, by which it
will not only be materially shortened, but three out of the four most
serious and highly objectionable tunnels in the former plans have
been entirely got rid of in the present, and the fourth, near Peters-
field, reduced to one-third its length.
To avoid all risk and uncertainty, however, on these essential
points, the promoters have entered into a provisional contract with
perfectly responsible parties, for the completion of the entire line
from Godalming to Havant, for the extremely moderate sum of
372,0001., or 12,0001. per mile, including the cost of land, rails, sta-
tions, and all other necessaries, excepting only the locomotive plant;
and further, the same parties have come under a formal and binding
engagement to take a lease, if required, of the line when completed,
for the first five years, at a net minimum rental of 4 per cent. per
annum, with one-half of the profits beyond that amount.
Parliament having already, in 1846, sanctioned this line now pro-
posed to he constructed, its promoters cannot believe that any se-
rious or effective opposition can be again offered to it.
To sum up,, it may be safely asserted that the undertaking holds
out advantages to subscribers and the public generally that have
rarely yet been offered by any other railway project, viz.:—
It vr;11 afford the most direct. and by far the cheapest route be.
tween London and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, being the shorter
by twenty-two miles than either ofthe two existing lines, and being
contracted for at 12,0001. a mile, in lieu of about four times that a-
mount expended on the Brighton and South-Western li nes.it will have,
through the South-eastern, from Godalming, a double entrance into
London; from which it follows, almost as a matter of course, that it
will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth,
on terms that, while highly remunerative to its pronrietary, must
make competition on the part of its rivals hopeles=, if not impos I-
ble, Further, the whole cost of the entire works and material has
been undertaken, by respectable contractors, for a specific and fixed
sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the engineers
from all doubt and uncertainty. And, finally, the Shareholders will
have the power of accepting or not, at their option, the offer of a
lease of the line when completed, for five years, at a minimum rate
of 4 per cent. interest on their capital, with half the profits beyond,
with the interim payment also of 4,per_cekt on the,aepos.it and calls

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists, The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
tea
qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies tore his important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity lating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
genera/ye system, and the means of immediate relief and
to the
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

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-

" We promised in a former number that we should recur to this

wih' gr eat severity the imostors who make a liveliho by preyin

Symathisers,'g
and ' Medical Friends, are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer fr'm the com-
plaint of which it treats, 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 money ......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., xil. and xviii. 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 xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and oompliealion of symptoms, of a more ag-
-1 gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet tin
treatment adopted b Mr. Courtenay proved eminently seecesaftil."
