SANDWELL'S ISSUE PLASTERS.

P. ATKINSON, (Successor to .SAND-
• WELL), begs leave to inform the Public that no Box of
ISSUE PLASTERS hearing the name of Sandwell, can be his genuine
preparation unless his name, " T. P. ATKINSON," is engraved on the
Stamp; the numerous imitations, which are very inferior in quality, and of
little or no service, require this notice, that those who are under the
necessity of using Issue Plasters, may not be deceived in the article they
are desirous to purchase.
Please a.k for Atkinson's Sandwell's Issue Plasters."

ABelief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the lath century ; it will, how-
ever, serve as
" inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine.
Those w..* early •victimi to a morbid imagination, hove sought fatally to
..ucip to the purposes cf nature, and have consequently lapsed into a
state which brings with it weakened capabilities and clouded hopco, may
by timely application to professional treatment, regain those first, noblest,
and best of powers that have been compromised by the criminal propensi-
ties of "guilty solitude," the progress of which is marked by the " lym.
phatica somnia" of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental
apathy. We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily
correspondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to
our own country, but difffised over the whole world. For twenty-live
years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debity proved emi-
nently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations
of our patients to publish their cases in a public address; the following,
however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that
we have yielded town importunity sufficiently excusable by the gratitude
t evinces ;
" Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized! Accept my most heart-
felt thanks; words are inadequate to express my unbounded gratitude.
May you long live to reap the rich reward of your I hours in the t, eat-
mot of that class of diseases which have hitherto baffled the skill of your
medical brethren.
" Nov. if 132." Your's, most sincerely, L. H."
There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when com-
pared with the above, may be termed subordinate) that are consequent
upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, exhi-
biting in some, debility from excess, in others, the relaxing effects of 'a'
tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how many, the various maladies
which afflict the student, the misanthrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the
.ibertlne. In all these cases our practice, which embraces every grade in
society, from the man of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been
uniformly successful; and as secrecy belonlo to our profession, the most
delicate and diffident may apply without fear er hesitation
