It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that thetrehout are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated wi.
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 itaconsequenc 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 qaalified 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 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 empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed fereign 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

A HINT TO POTATO GROWERS. A correspondent
calls our attention to a statement that the vine in south-
ern Europe and the Madeiras has beenblighted by a micro-
scopic acarus, and that the use of manures rich in iodine
has been found to enable the plant to resist its
seaweed
used as manure. He mentions that he has used rotten
kelp as manure for the vine on the south coast of Devon,
and, when he removed too far from the coast, iodine, in
almost minute quantities, with great success. He sug-
gests that if iodine were mixed with the usual manure
for potatoes it would probably prevent disease,
