THE GARDENER'S GAZETTE,
A WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, LITERA-
TURE, AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Proprietors of this Journal, without resorting to the usual
plan of boasting as to the number circulated, which is invariably
a deception, are content to solicit Advertisements upon the credit
of its name and connections alone. '

That it is in general circulation among a very large, influential
and wealthy class, which at this period are actively engaged
_ in
promoting Floriculture and Horticulture throughout the United
Kingdom, as well as the middle and humbler classes, who are cul-
tivators, is a fact of which any person can, in an hour's inquiry,
satisfy himself ; and if it be an object to advertise among the No-
bility and Gentry if all parties, as well as the thinking and careful
portion of the humbler classes engaged in horticultural pursuits,
" The Gardener's Gazette" is unquestionably the only single
Journal which offers this advantage. •
Without dictating as to the kind of Advertisement adapted for
the Journal, or rather for which the Journal is adapted, the Pro-
prietors suggest that Booksellers, Auctioneers, Estate Agents,
Manufacturers of Horticultural, Agricultural, and Gardening Im-
plements and Apparatus, Nurserymen, Florists, Seedsmen' Land-
scape and other Gardeners, Servants in want of places, and Masters
in want of Servants, Seedsmen, Fruiterers, Importers of Foreign
Produce, &e., will find it a much more eligible and effective me-
dium than any existing Newspaper.
By giving timely notice, any Advertiser of a Catalogue of Books,
or Plants, or Flowers, or any Auction Catalogue, may engage a
sufficient portion of the Paper, to the exclusion of any other Ad-
vertisement of the same class or kind, and be accommodated with
any number of the papers (at the cost price), which they may thus
send (post free) to all parts of the United Kingdom, and the
British Colonies.

Just published, the 20th Edition,
NEW POPULAR WORK on DISEASES of the GENERA-
TIVE SYSTEM, with Additional Cases. Price 4s.
AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, and other Diseases of the
Urethra and Generativ9 System. These subjects are illustrated by
a variety of highly interesting cases. To which are added, Con-
cluding Observations on the Nature and Treatment of Nervous,
General, and Local Debility, for the Cure of which the Author
has adopted a plan of treatment which, during his experience of
upwards of thirty years' extensive practice, has invariably proved
successful.
By C. B. COURTENAY, M.D., 42, Great Marlborough-street.
Printed for the Author, and sold by Simpkin and Marshall, Sta-
tioners'-court ; Onwhyn, Catherine-street, Strand ; W. March,
145, Oxford-street ;J. Chappell, 93, Royal Exchange ; M.Pliun,
Trongate, Glasgow; Messrs. Sutherland, Calton-street, Edin-
burgh; and by all Booksellers in town and country.
Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation; that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—Laspeetor and Literary Review,
