MEDICAL ADVICE ON TIIE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, 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, &c., &c.
InAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irrequ'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 p*oved that there are in exist
once secret causes of self-acquired miscr:es and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfratitfill 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 how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of scienaacannot 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 om-
plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physicien 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 wb'ch no grade of society is
tree. In selecting thin depa, • rent of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has ettended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, wl'ch 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 lettere must contain the fee of If., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on
SELF-PRESERVATION.
A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and
Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des-
cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and
excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct

In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford known to English readers by his frequent practi-
c►l contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
t me, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
sower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
ivw:r, in order to exhibit its aim more 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 Symatlaisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who safVer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many lundreds 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 Spermatorrheea, 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.

FEMALE PHYSICIANS.—The Female Medical College
of Pennsylvania will commence its next course of lec-
tures on the Ist of October. Its faculty consists of five
male and two female professors—the latter regularly
graduated physicians as well as the former—while the
Demonstrator in Anatomy is also an able female physi-
cian. That many women possess extraordinary capa-
cities for the healing art is established ; that there are
cases requiring medical treatment in which they are
better qualified to minister to each other's needs than
men can be is obvious. We trust that whatever preju-
dice may exist against "woman's rights " to the ballot
and to demi-pants will not be allowed to bear against
her right to qualify herself for a career of eminent use-
fulness in the relief of suffering, and the communication
to her sisters of important physiological truth.—New
York Tribune.

" RAPPINGS" AT LlSKEAED.—Considerable excite-
ment prevailed here a few days ago, in consequence of a
strange knocking or rapping, heard in a certain part of
the graveyard belonging to the church, which seemed to
proceed from the ground where bodies had been lately
deposited. Great numbers assembled, and so evident
did it appear that the sound proceeded from below, that
preparations were made to dig into the grave of a per-
son recently interred ; when an ind'rvidual with a better
exercise of his perceptive faculties, i iiscovered that when
the wind blew, the sound was heard„ and when the wind
ceased to blow all was silent. Thif a led him to look up,
instead of down, for the origin. Then he observed a
branch of one tree, when in motion, to strike against the
branch of another ; and wood being a good conductor of
sound, it proceeded down through the trunk, and the
effect was as though it issued from the ground beneath,
—Plymouth Journal.

The band and choir were placed in the gallery, and
consisted of her Majesty's private band, strengthened by
additions from the the Philharmonic Society, including

CHORIS.
0, how good, how lovly are thy dwellings,
Lord of Hosts, how great is thine abode !
For thy holy courts my spirit longeth,
Even fainteth for the living God !
Yea, for Thee, my heart and flesh are pantingr—
Crying, Lord, to find thy house of rest :
There the sparrow even bath a dwelling,
There she buildeth for her young a nest.
There the swalloiv shelter hath provided,
Where securely she may lay her brood :
Even round the altars of thy temple,—
Thine, 0 Lord of Hosts, my King and God !
Ever blesssed are the chosen people
Who within thy temple sing thy praise :
Happy, Lord, are they whom thou upholdest,—
They whose hearts are ever in thy ways !
Passing through the arid vale of Baca,
Wells and waterbrooks for them distil :
On they go from strength to strength increasing,
Till they bow to God on Zion's hill.
SOLO.
Hear my humble prayer, 0 God of Jacob—
God of Hosts, in mercy turn to me !
Deign to look, 0 Lord, on thine anointed.
shield us I we are only safe with Thee.

DUET AND CHORUS.
Long may he grow, like Samuel,
In favour with God the Lord ;
And never cease from doing well,
And walking by His word ;
For they who walk in Wisdom's ways,
In wisdom shall increase,
They shall be crown'd with length of days,
And live and die in peace.
SOLO AND CHORUS.
Come, ye children, give ear to my word,
They never want who fear the Lord.
And they who fear Him in wisdom increase.
Seek ye Wisdom, be found in her ways,
And length of life shall crown your days
With blessings till ye are buried in peace. Amen !
CHORUS.

land, Machin, Bradbury, Salmon, and H. Barnby.
The Gentlemen-at-Arms lined the approaches to
and the entrance of the Chapel; and also formed a
guard at the entrance of the Grand Hall, escort-
ing the King and Queen of Hanover, on their arrival,
to the lower Drawing-room, in which the Queen
received her august guests. The Corps was com-
manded by the Lieutenant, Lieutenant-Colonel Top-
ham ; Major Harmar, Standard Bearer ; and Mr. J. S.
Lloyd, the Clerk of the Cheque and Adjutant, attended.
The sub-officers Lieutenant-Colonel Neville and Major
Cooke were also on duty.

The Yeomen of the Guard were commanded by
Major Phibbs, the Exon in Waiting, and were stationed
in the Grand Hall, in the passages leading from the old
Dining-room to the approach to the Chapel, and upon
the grand staircase. Sir George Lee (the Lieutenaut),
Sir G-eorgeHoulton (the Ensign), and Lieutenant-Colonel
Fitzmaurice (the Adjutant of the Corps), attended.
The Officers of both Corps and the Officers of Arms
belonging to the Herald's College dined in the Equer-
ries' room.

A Guard of Honour of the Foot Guards, with tho
band of their regiment, mounted guard in front of the
Palace.

THE ARMY IN INDIA.

The following general order has been issued by Lord
Frederick Fitzclarence :

" Head-quarters, Mahabloshwur, May 13, 1853.
" By the Commander-in-Chief.

"The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the en-
tire discontinuance of the leather stock in all the Hon.
Company's European regiments under this presidency, and
officers commanding European corps will be pleased ac-
cordingly to carry this order into effect as early as prac-
ticable.

"The collars of the coats and jackets will be hereafter
cut square (the Prussian collar), and made to close in front
with hooks and eyes, and nothing is to be worn inside be-
yond a plain white shirt collar, of sufficient depth to pre-
vent the soiling of the lining of the coat collar, without
being visible above it—a small fly of the collar of the fac-
ings must be placed so as to prevent the shirt being seen
between the hooks and eyes.
" The Commander-in-Chief further directs the entire
discontinuance of the black silk neckerchief, which his
lordship has observed that the soldiers of some European
corps are in the habit of wearing with their white jackets,
and which has never been sanctioned by any competent
authority. The collars of all jackets are to be made to
close in front, in the same manner as those of the coats.
" The Commander-in-Chief has remarked that the cloth-
ing of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers in gene-
ral is too tightly made and fitted, particularly across the
chest and round the arms—the very portion of a man's
body which requires to be left quite free and easy for those
who are intended to use the firelock, on the offensive or
defensive.

"The trousers in most instances are so absurdly tight
about the waist, and oven the hips, that the soldiers can
with difficulty go through the extension motion.
" Commanding officers are strictly desired to give their
especial attention to these points at the next issue of
clothing.
" Non-commissioned officers and soldiers will sit down
to their masses with their jackets open. They are to be
permitted to walk about in the immediate vicinity of their
lines or barracks in forage caps with their jackets open;
but should they proceed into the bazaar, or town, or other
inhabited part of the cantonment, they must wear their
jackets and collars buttoned up. White cap and covers
are to be worn from eight a.m. till five p.m.
" Non-commissioned officers and soldiers, being pro-
hibited from wearing their side-arms when off duty, will
not be required to wear their side-bolts on such occasions
for the future.
" The blue calico trousers, barrack change, are to be
worn, as a general rule, on drill parades or fatigue duties,
and on the line of march ; and the officers and men of all
regiments, European and native, are to parade on all occa-
sions in the same coloured trousers—black, white, or blue.

" Now that so much ease is given to the soldier, by re-
lieving him of the stock on parade and bn guard, the collar
of the coat or jacket is never to be turned down, except
on the line of march.

ward only be required.
The convenience to trade which will result from this
small uniform penny stamp is incalculable. Let us put
a few of the numerous ways in which it will be ap-
plicable, for the sake of illustration.
In the first place, as regards the community at large,
it will furnish a remarkable facility for obtaining legal
receipts for every payment which they make. At
present private persons pay almost every account by
check ; but the trouble and expense of receipts are so
great, that not one in fifty payments is accompanied
by a legal discharge. The new regulations by which
the stamp is reduced to a uniform rate of one penny,
and by which stamps similar to postage heads can be
used in place of the ordinary stamped paper, would of
themselves he an enormous convenience, and would lead
to a universal practice of giving and taking receipts.
But the facilities thus afforded sink into insignificance
when we compare them with the convenience which will
result from the use of stamped. checks. Le% bankers
provide themselves with check-books as at present, but
each check bearing a penny stamp, and stitched in num-
bers of 100, 200, or 300 each, charging to their cus-
tomers, as the act will provide, th sum of Bs. 4d.,
16s. 8(1., and 255. respectively, according to the siz2 of
the books required. The public, in making payments with
such checks, would then only require that the persons re-
ceiving them should endorse the name upon the back, and
with no more trouble than necessarily attaches now to
writing a chee'r a legal receipt, producible in a court
of law, will be furnished for every payment what-
ever ; and every person thus using stamped cheeks
would, when he had received his cancelled checks back.
from his bankers', which is the almost universal prac-
tice, have in his possession a legal receipt for every pay-
ment made during the year. As the law provides that
the receiver of money shall pay the stamp, the person
making the payment by means of stamped checks would
in all cases deduct the value of the stamp from the sum
to be paid; and thus, the banker having been reim-
bursed for the stamps by his customer, the customer, in
his turn, would be reimbursed by the persons to whom
he made payments'', on whom the cost of the stamps
would thus finally fail.
But the convenience will not end even here. As the
use of a penny stamp will be sufficient to secure a legal
receipt by an endorsement on the back of a check pay-
able to bearer, the same stamp will be sufficient for a
check or draught payable to order, which would have
the advantage that it could only he paid by the endorse-
ment of the person, either at the time of its being drawn
or at any other time before payment, and which, if lost
or mislaid, cuuld not be recovered by any other per-
son. Another very important advantage will attend
stamped checks payable to order. Such a check or
draught may be legally drawn at any distance from
the bank ; it may pass by endorsement from hand
to hand till it reaches the place of payment, which
-would aliWays be as diieCt as poisible, to avoid the rnii.
of holding overdue checks, and it might with the great-
est safety and with perfect legality be remitted to any
distance in payment of an account, with the certainty
that before it was presented for payment the receipt of
tie person to whom it is sent will be attached in the
form of an endorsement.

Thus, in point of fact, a banker's check with a. penny
stamp, and payable to order, will have every pi itiilege
and advantage which a bill at sight has at the present
time, including that of furnishing a valid and legal
receipt for the amount, no matter how great.
Let us now consider the practical facilities which this
change will furnish to bankers and traders generally.
As regards bankers, the high stamp duties charge-
able upon bills at sight may be Laid to have le:1 to their•
entire disuse, and to have introduced a system as clumsy-
and inconvenient as it is possible to conceive. The plan
resorted to in order to evade the stall-ink, at present is the
use of letters of credit, not transferab'e, and which ea,
tail both upon the issuers of them, and especially upon.
those on whom they are drawn, great trouble and ;neon-.
venience. In future these will be entirely discontinued.
and bills on demand drawn instead upon a uniform
penny stamp, when the amount is above 21. By this
means a bill payable to order, and transferable by en-
dorsement from hand to hand, will be furnished at the
low cost of a per ny stamp. This advantage will be felt
as much, if not more, in the trade between the various
inland towns of the kingdom, between which remittances
are made, as in their direct intercourse wall London..
A shopkeeper in any village or market town, wishing-
to make a remittance to some other distant local
town, will obtain a draught to order from his banker
upon London on a penny st tmp, and the person to
whnn he remits it, in however a remote a town in Eng-
land, Scotland, or Ireland, will be able to endorse it,
and receive the amount at once from his own banker,
who will remit it to London to his agent fox- collection.
At present this cannot be done except by the use of
expensive stamps. But it would be difficult to antici-
pate the numerous ways in which bankers will be able
to turn this facility to advantage.
But this change will prove of the greatest value to
merchants and wholesale traders. Just let us see to
what an advantage it may be turned in London. At
the present time the " crossing " of checks is relied upon
as a security in the numerous daily transactions in
the metropolis. Payments are made to collecting
clerks daily to the amount, probably, of millions, with
no other security than that which "crossing" checks,
imparts ; and, unfortunately, the unsettled state of
the law in respect to this practice renders it of ex-
tremely doubtful utility. Lot us suppose that checks
payable to order become of general use, legalised by the
penny stamp. In that case, the check could not be
paid without endorsement by the person in whose behalf
it is drawn. This would be a security to the person
paying the money as well as to the person on whose
account it is received ; and every person making such
payments would poseess in his returned checks a legal
receipt for every payment, which could at any time
be produced in a court of law ; whereas, at present,
he is without any legal means of proving his pay-
ments. And all this will be accomplished by the use of
checks with a penny stamp, which stamp he will be
entitled to deduct from the person receiving the pay-
ment.

Again, let us consider the convenience which this ar-
rangement will prove to traders in London having pay-
ments to make in various parts of the kingdom. By the
use of a penny stamp they will be able to remit their
own checks, payable to their correspondent or to his
order, who, by endorsement, will at once furnish a re-
ceipt, and obtain the amount from his own banker in
any part of the country, however remote, without charge.
There is, perhaps, one class in London who willadhere
to the present system of checks payble to bearer, and to
whom the use of the stamp will be of but little practical
use—we mean stockbrokers, billbrokers, and similar
traders, who deal in large sums more by way of transfer
than of payment, and to whom, therefore, the stamp
would be of little use. But if we are to look to the exten-
seixvtee
nadini and vwarni oaurseu sperse

bankers' checks, with unimportant exceptions, will be
stamped, and drawn to order instead of to bearer. If
drawn to order and stamped, they will answer all the
numerous purposes to which we have referred; they will
possess all the advantage of stamped checks drawn to
bearer, with the additional advantages of being much
more secure, and of forming the best possible means of
remittance by post to any distance. And by the plan
suggested, all this convenience and safety will be ob-
tained without any charge to bankers or the payers of
money, while the receiver will pay only one penny in
each case, in place of the presen t considerable stamp
duty, the neglect to pay which exposes him to heavy
penalties.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1853

The Income Tax Bill has passed through its
last stage in the House of Lords, and now only
awaits the Royal assent to become a portion of
the law of the land, although prevented by the
etiquette and privileges of Parliament from alter-
ing a money bill sanctioned by the House of Com-
mons. Several of their Lordships recorded their
dissent from several details of the measure in the
most earnest and emphatic terms. A division
was even taken on one of the clauses, the rejec-
tion of which had been proposed by the Earl of
WlcE_Low, and supported, among others, bytheLord
Chief-Justice, whose personal experience taught
him the grievous injury that must necessarily be
sustained by many Irish landlords in being com-
pelled to pay the tax—not on the amount which
they actually receive, but on that which they
ought to receive ; so that in the case of a defaulting
tenant they will have not only to submit to the
loss of their rent, but will have to liquidate
claims that could only be justified on the suppo-
sition that they were in actual receipt of their
rents for which they were rendered liable. This
is a grievous hardship—and, what renders it the
more intolerable, it is one which applies almost
exclusively to Ireland and to Irish land-
lords, and from which their English brethren
are at least comparatively free. It cer-
tainly appears quite sufficient to impose
the burden on Ireland, for the first time, without
rendering its operation even more inequitable and
oppressive than in this country, where, in truth,
it is quite bad enough as it is ; but it is a serious
grievance to make an exceptional law far more
stringent than that in force on this side of St.
George's Channel, which, through the unjustifiable
demands of the tax-gatherer, will complete the
ruin of landlords already subjected to deep dis-
tress,
and brought to the verge of poverty
through the insolvency or dishonesty of de-
faulting tenants. There is no reason why
the Income Tax should not be extended
to Ireland why those who receive money
from any source, applicable to their own
purposes, should not contribute to the liquidation
of the national liabilities and the maintenance of
the national establishments, as well as their Eng-
lish brethren. But it should really be an income
tax—not, as we have already stated, a charge on
that which a man ought to receive, but had not
received.
But it may be said that there is a clause in the
Bill which affords an adequate remedy for the
grievance—that there is a provision to the effect
that when a landlord can prove to the Commis-
sioners that he has paid income tax on rent
which he had failed to receive, in conse-
quence of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or
absconding of, or the removal of goods by,
any tenant he should receive back so much of the
duty as he paid in respect of such rent
lost to him, and this is relied on by those who
framed the enactment as a satisfactory answer to
the objection ! Stronger evidence could not be
afforded of their gross and unpardonable ignorance
on Irish affairs. The provision is little better
than a mockery and a delusion, one that could
rarely, if ever, be made available by the aggrieved
and plundered landlord ; but which is even more
impolitic than it is deceptive, inasmuch as its
tendency, if it could be made available, would be
to act as a direct incentive to the greatest cruelty
and oppression, and as the natural result to
Arian outrages and bloodshed, producing
eventually a state of affairs more deplorable than
anything thatilhas yet been witnessed in that un-
happy land.

The accuracy of these assertions can be easily
tested. Indeed, any
