BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RIMUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.

" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and In a few days I was in perfect
health.

" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
tered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
s towards its improvement.
"I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.
"To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."

rens, &c., &c., BLAIK'S GOUT and RIIEUMA PIC PILLS are a

Translated From he ,lerman of Dr. PICKFORD

Of. HeMort 'e known to English readers by his frequent praett-
c,t contribution: to German medical literature. This is the first
tune, he inlortns us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
T.al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his "over to correct."
—London Medical uazette, May 30, 1851. The tribeof • Quiet Syma-
hisers,' aid • Medical Fricnds,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
vuld find its way into the hands of those who suffer fr,,m the com-
olaint of which it tre,tts, we are satisfied that many hundreds 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."—Medieal Circular, June 16, 1852.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE 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
ill AY b
Society, Licentiate
consulted, personally, ntiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sce., &c.
' 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
once 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 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 consequer c. es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of ritysical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely it'd of science cannot 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 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
tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded 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 emptrics, 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 IL, 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 •PRE S ERVATION.

Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des-
cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and
