BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great °ill-
eacY of this medicine :

ich I have ex-
q'neeu -by t 1 ogarittatrim
hol that I am but rerformtng a duty to that portion of the public
PaY be similarly affected.
~bout twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
ielY hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
!Zvi of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
ird the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
thi4 ruY sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some-
,ng of this disease.
ti,: It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
Qt
no Years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
time iii procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
1,'.1, Min had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
'Prom that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
:? approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
Itkased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
h,:reover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
ii,ed, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
:•01vard s its improvement.
I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
always been of the most gratifying character.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matrienlated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.

11AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitthl Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and bow the evil and its corvequenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of scien oacannot apply a cure
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and a the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting thl4 department of practice, he has been amply
rawarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of there cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of li., and advice and

"In proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
the history of a great many case+ sweesqully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syrr.e adduced, and on W hich he had operated.
such are cases ix., xi., sii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve yews, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in ai many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of s 3 meteors, of a more ag-
gravated chlracter than any detailed by Mr. Sy me, and yet the
treatment a !opted by Mr. Courtenay prov(d eminently successful."
