"In reply to your letter received this morning, respecting the
Gatta t ercha Tubing far pump service, I can state, with much satis-
faction, it answers perfectly. Many builders and other persons have
lately examined it, and there is not the least apparent difference since
the first laying down, now several years ; and I am informed that
it is to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected
here."

" Gentlemen,—ln answer to your inquiries respecting the Gutta
Percha Tubing for pump suctions. I find that the water has not
affected it in the least, although it will eat lead through in two
years; we have adopted it largely, being cheaper than lead, much
easier fixed, and a more perfect job."

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences restating from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, am,
other clas, of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who a conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privilegre
es to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary theta men should know, that there are
principles of personal mai tagement which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-inaulgence, how these penalties
may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its comcquenees y be
ma avided, andfunctional above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure,
TbeAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in '.he treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in • their pretensions.

the members of any profe-sion or trade, whether in the metropolis
or its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged alphabetically
in one list. This being the only work in which they are so, is the
only ono in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained.
The nobility, gentry, and professional persons resident in London
and its suburbs, are included in the one general" Court" alphabetical
list, now so greatly extended that it inc udes upwards of Forty-lour
thousand names.

sive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices
in Great Bri alit, is included in the volume, whin also contains a
large amount of miscellaneous information, as—house of Peers, in
their order of precedence—Provincial Inns, with their holders—
Arrangements of the Law Courts—Namss of all Postmasters in
England and Wales—Periodical Publications. with their Publishers
