This Company is formed for.the purchase of land and development
of the mineral resources of the Island of Ceylon.
The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now
ascertained beyond any doubt.
The Islard of Ceylon (with a population of about one million and a
half) is known to possess a most favourable climate. and has long been
famed for its valuable productionst- '
It can be reached within thirty days from this country, The facility
thus afforded far the extension of its trade, the increased demand and
enhancement of value which will be secured for its varied products will,
without entering upon any detail, at once suggest itself to the most
ordinary observer.
Its commerce with England may be stated as in a state of tran-
sition, as there can be no question that the present year will exhibit
a large increase. The affairs of the Company will be managed by
parties who have had considerable experience, and are well ac-
quainted with the country and its people.
Lands, known to the Directors of this Company to contain the
best minerals, are obtainable by them at a very moderate rate in
lee simple, and arrangements have been made for an efficient staff,
to proceed forthwith to Ceylon to take the necessary steps for the
Immediate working of the Company.
The minerals consist of Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, and Plumbago
to a large extent, within a few feet of the surface. The facilities for
working the Mines and the convenience of transit. coupled with the
fact that labour can be had at a rate cheaper then in any other
country, form in themselves elements so highly favourable to the
prospects of the Company, as to insure certain and pernianent
success.
The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken
from "Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's
Government and parties in Ceylon. vide Blue Book; page 15, printed
by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 :"--" Persons
the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re-
sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known
extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable
feature in the export trade of the country."
EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR J. E. TENNANT, LATE
COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON.
" Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively
unnoticed in the interior."
EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. URE.
" Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret
of copper and of copper pyrites from Ceylon, placed in my hands by'
Mr. Galbraith, as imported for The Ceylon Land and Mining Com-
pany,' I fled that-these specimens are exceedingly rich, and vary in
Pemposition. Some of them, like that marked No. 22, from Ceylon,
contain nearly two-thirds (sixty-six per cent.) of copper for one-
third of sulphur.
(Signed) "ANDREW URE, M.D., F.R.S., Fee., Analytical Chemist.
" 25, Keppel-street, Meath 1, 1853."
EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF MESSRS. WHITE AND Du MAURIER.
"We keg to state that the specimen submitted to us by Mr. Gal-
braith:as imported by The Ceylon Land and Mining Company,' is of
the sulphuret, and yields 72 percent.
" The minor copper ores contain 26 and 38 per cent.
(Signed) "WHITE AND Du Mamma.
"5, Barge-yard, Bucklersbary, Feb. 26, 1853."
The Directors do not deem it necessary in this advertisement to
offer other equally important extracts from reports and other docu-
ments in their possession, but they may be inspected on application at
the Offices of the Company.
The originals of the above, as also maps of the island, with speci-
mens of the ores, can be seen and prospectuses had, at the temporary
Offices of the Company, 23, New Broad-street.

Cal reader. Lust this

Eower to correct. —Loudon Medical Gazette May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former
number that we should recur to this
'wort, in order to exhibit its aim snore 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 suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds 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
apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of liis 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 aro cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. ix. had res,sted, 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 complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
ltravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.
DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUIRE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
• Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, B:c., &C.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
-resulting from juvenile irregu:arities 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 Unfruitful Mani-
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 how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LAWERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate corn-
plaints, and is 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
free. In selecting thi4 department of practice, he has been amply
rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these 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.
