MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MA.TURITT.

DR. SAMUEL Li'MERT, 27, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
'Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of tie University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ball, London, &e., &c.
IIAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative-system,
resulting from juvenile irregu'atities 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 patholo,,lsts. Long and pract,cal experience
in the treatment of these diseasewhas 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 Marti-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necesss-y that all men should know that there are
pt inciples of personal marts 7ement which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indu'gence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and ifs con-equence, may be avoided, aid above all,
that there is scarcely- any degree of physics i infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid 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 hypeci:tical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous es ils, srom which no grade of society is
free. In eelectiig this department of practice, he has been amply
raw arded by the great success that has atl:ended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified aid ignorant empirics, who, V.th their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and tit'es, 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 fill. Two, and from

TIIE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterete
a apparently Intractable Forms.

BY F. B. COURTEWAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
he history of a great many cases successfully
treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Byrne adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases Ix., xi., iii., and xvl'i. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve yetis, the treatment by dint Ition, and was finally
tetnoved in as many weeks. But cases will. and Xii. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication'of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Sy me, and yet th:
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful.
