EUROPEAN COURT-1.
.4 FNDLESS embassies and fruitless negotiations
1 have occupied the Court. of Europe f r some time.
th 4 e nstellation of the " Great Bear" is an unlucky one, we mus Whether
lease for the consideration of all o..servers ; hut the sound po icy
has been pursued fay then iatrons of the estaashmenis of E.est MOSES
and SON, who have negotiated affairs of dress on a scale of unpre-
cedented magnificence and economy. The war of eleinents is totally
subdued by the attire manufactured by E. MOSES and SoN
the advantages of a complete victory are secured by an artistic fit
which combines fashion and comfort.
As ambassadors to the Court of Fashion, E. MOSES and SON are
the most successful negotiators which the commercial world has
ever acknowle&ed—they have produced styles of dress which have
gained them universal reputation. Their present facilities for exe-
cuting the commands of noblemen, merchant-, men of business,
labourers, and all other sections of society, possess an indescribable
ampletude, associated with superior quality, infinite variety, and the
most economical charges.
Liveriegi, sporting dress, military and naval costumes, are made by
E. Mons and Sots with the greatest uniformity and precision.
Hats, caps, boots and shoes, hosiery, shirts, ladies' and children's
clothing of the most elegant and serviceable kind, is furnished by
E. Moses and Sort at considerably lower prices than are customarily
charged.
The wholesale department of E. MOSES and SoN's business is highly
advantageous to merchants, captains, and emigrants. Their cloth-
ing, boots and shoe., outfits, &c. tic., are the best shipments which
can be made to Australia or any part of the world.
Full lists of outfits for ladies and gentlemen, and ship-sailing In-
formation, may be had on application, or post tree.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesrnan-like
falsehood of " Being connected with heir 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 Cosramiost WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OOT OF LONDON,
except their own Establishments, as follows :

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
which have prouced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern
eni Its perusal is
particularly recommended to personertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
eatitled. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an
extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints,
and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which
no grade of society is free Their treatment has unfortunately teen
too generally confided to the c ire of unqualified and Ignorant em-
piric., who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names
and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict
great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten-
sions. The serious con-equences resulting from such mal-practice
may
easily be avoided it. sufferers from these maladies were to ascri
pain if their medical adviser e a member of the London College of
physicians, .urgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing
either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can at once be diQtingablied.
