JOZEAU'S COPAIIINE MEGE.—Copaiba and
Cubebs are doubtless the best remedies, but are of a re-
pulsive taste and odour, and occasion collicky, pains, nausea,
and gastric disturbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in render-
ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative
properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of
Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the
different London hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's, and
St. Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland,
and Legros Clark.—(Lancet, Foy. 6, 1857). The Copahine,
which is in form of a
_pretty ,i)ink sugar plum, effects a cure in
about six days. 100 Capvales, 4s. 6d.; post free ss. 2d.— At

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra-
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Byhis systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be fourd in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

they turned for the straight, where Mily went to the front
on the outside, and carried on the running for a quarter of
a mile; Camperdown then deprived her of the lead, and
Nemesis with The Principal and Turn of Luck on her

up his luck by getting through tho Cesarewitch for him
with the same horse. For the Cambridgeshire
simply backed for his luck. And when he told his friends
that he should win that race, he told them "The Truth,"
and found it confirmed. - With Candlewick he landed the
Epsom Autumn Handicap for " The Alderman ;" and he
may be said to have taken "Excelsior" for his motto. In
1853, he was out of his indentures, and scarce could he move
" but each eye was upon him." At first he steadily refused
all retainers and mt}sters, for he said they kept him off good
horses. But by our strong recommendition, he, on the
promise of old John Day "that he would be father to him
and make him a jockey," became engaged to him for Mr.
Howard. His first mount, which was on Lascelles, for the
Craven at Epsom, was a winning one, and it foreshadowed
his future victories in the black and orange, which, barring
those in Sir Joseph's colours, were the greatest he ever
achieved. For the same year he got placed for the Derby
for him on Rataplan, and won the'Queen'sVase at Ascot on
Oulston ; and the Leamington Stakes with Little Harry.
Prior to this in. the spring, he had secured the City
and Suburban for Tom Stevens, after a dead
heat with Pancake *;
and he had done another
good thing for Mr. Tarr with -Defiance in the North-
amptonshire Stakes.. ilia .reign ,in 1854 was a com-
Vte "blaze of triumph," for 46 Honest, John" prepared
Virago for him, and teiovok the .turf by storm with her,
With this flyer, Wells- made short work of The Great
Northern and The Dutchman's Handicap, at York, as well
as with "The Thousand" at Newmarket, and the Good-
wood and Doncaster Cups ; and the picture portraits of the
trio were in every print-shop in the country. In 1854 he
won the Chester Cup on Scythian, beating Mortimer by a
head, and doing Mr. Parr out of a magnificent estate he
had engaged to purchase had the head been the other way.
For Mr. Gully he got Hermit third for The Derby, when
the Danbury division had taken long odds they ran first
and second with Andover and Hermit. By this time they
had negatived his original sobriquet of "Tiny," and the
sweaters could not bring him lower than 7st. His next
great performance worthy of record was in the following
year, when he won the St. Leger with Saucebox for Mr.
Parr, with any odds against him, for he had been beaten
with another jockey upon him at York, and was considered
nothing but a plater. We fancy, however, if Rifleman
had not been got at by " the cooperer," that Saucebox
would have come off second best. For this mount he re-
ceived from Mr. Thornhill, the Gracechurch-street baker,
a couple of hundred, and from the " Squire of Wantage"
the expression of the satisfaction he experienced to
give him such a horse to immortalise himself upon. In
1856 he was always there and thereabouts in every race ;
and to this hour he believes he won The Derby on
Adamas for his friend, philosopher, and guide, Mr.
Mellish, and, if he had done so, he would partly have
imitated Jem. Robinson, who won the Derby the
same year he was married. In 1857 Wells and Fisherman
went a very profitable tour over the country, and wherever
there was a Queen's Plate, there they were sure to be
found. One day we would read of him at Manchester, and
the following one at Weymouth. Every railway porter
knew them as well as they did old Clothworker and George
Hall, and equally respected them. After this year the re-
lations between Wells and Mr. Parr were of a less friendly
character; and although, at the earnest solicitation of Mr.
James Smith-, he agreed to ride Avalanche for The Oaks,
when she got second to Butterfly, he is no longer retained
for Wantage. In 1858 he surprised Sir Joseph Hawley not
a little by winning The Thousand for him with Fitz-Ro-
land, on that memorable occasion when Fordham, irritated
by some remarks of Lord Ribblesdale, rode Happy Land's
head off, and got brought up before the stewards for it.
And he subsequently astonished the lucky baronet still
more by carrying off the Derby with Beadsman for him,
having had the choice of him or Fitz-Roland. Two Derbys
in successive years fall to the lot of very few jockeys; and
by his Musjid race he at once placed himself on a level
with Wm. Scott, Jem Robinson, Sam Templeman, and
Frank Butler. By his industry Wells must, by this time,
have accumulated a pretty fortune, as a few years ago he
had invested a round sum in a steel pen manufactory at
Birmingham, which, in his own language, "gave him fives
for it," He also placed his father in a small brewery al
