AFFAIRS ON THE ICE.—Rare old Winter!
crusty husines3 " sliding scales" popular everywhere, the sur-
face of the lakes peopled with industrious thousands, and the fishes
snoozing under a coverlet of ice some nine or ten inches thick, but
every individual, lady and gentleman, flilly appreciating the excel-
lencies of the WINTER AT I IRE prepared by E. MOSES and Sox.
Never was there such a promiscuous gathering on the skating busi-
tees as during the past week, and never such a display of fashionable
and comfortable Dress. . .

The success ofE:lToszs and Sox never appeared so much to ad-
vantage, and loud and numerous were the encomiums passed on
them by the skaters and the dense multitudes which lined the banks
of the waters.
It appears that the business of E. MOSES and SoN must always
triumph, the best Press being prepared by them for every season,
cold, wet, damp, frost, or snow, variety for all classes, and comfort-
able attire for everybody at the most economical prices.
Skaters and sportsmen all patronise the productions of E. Moses
and Sox, the style and fit of the Garments made by them being so
much superior to any others.
Young gentlemen are fully equipped at E. MOSES and Sox's, their
Attire, Hats, Caps, Shirts, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., being un-
paralleled for superiority and economy.
For freezing or thawing times and all other times, 'for ladies and
gentlemen, men of business, mechanics, sailors, and emigrants, the
.East and West End Establishment of E. Moses and Sox secure as-
tonishing advantages in Quality and Price.
The Wholesale Department affords the greatest advantages to
purchasers either for the home trade or the colonies.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the =tradesman-like
falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OIIT OF LONDON,

Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hante ,
MAY be consulted, personally,
or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
which have pro-
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, , and prema-
Sueed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood,
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any
eases known to modern pathologists., Long and practical experience
howin the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are other class of dis-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed
Nepesrveuins
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which
mar,.
'Debility, various forms of 'lnsanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful
age:, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
enaless 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 witiut.
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may beremoved,
and how the evil and its con,equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical 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 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
free. In selecting thi4 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 empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
or 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 11., and advice and
Medicines oan 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

cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and
