VAN BUTCHELL ON FISTULA, &e

Third Edition. Just published, in Bvo., cloth boards, price is,
with additional Cases,

FACTS and OBSERVATIONS relative to a
successful MODE of TREATING PILES, FISTULA,
HEMORRHOIDAL EXCRESCENCES, TUMOURS, and
STRICTURES, without CUTTING or CONFINEMENT;
illustrated with numerous cases ; being a familiar exposition of the
practice of S. J. Van Butchell, Surgeon Accoucheur.
Published by 11. Renshaw, No. 356, Strand ; said also by the
Author, at his residence, No. 16, Percy-street, Bedford-square.
" The fact that this treatise has run through a third edition, that
it has been very extensively circdated, and met with equally ex-
tensive approval, sufficiently attests its merits. It is written in a
plain unlaboured style, and contains a number of grateful testimo-
nials to Mr. Van Butchell from persons who have been cured by
its learned author."—The Western Luminary, May 21, 1838.
" Few men connected with the complicated departments of sur-
gery are deserving of more grateful mention that Mr. Van Butchell,
whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most painful of all
diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in a continued
course of success in cases of the most hopeless and forbidding na-
ture. • * • We find nearly every page recording some
astonishing .are in patients whose sufferings had been for many
years' duration, and most excruciating in their nature. The warmth
i.
of
expression with which the ;2ratitmie of some of the n'ter('(l
couched must be truly gratifying to the feelings and highly credit-
able to the skill and judgment of Mr. Van Butehell."—Weekly

TRADITION'S PROUDEST and DEAREST TROPHY of
HER.. TRIUMPH and ASCENDANCY OVER the WORD
of GOD.
A WORD or TWO of FRIENDLY EXPOS-
TULATION on the USE of the TERM TRINITY in
PROTESTANT FORMULARIES. Is.
Is there a Bishop on the Bench, who, not having had a glass of
Claret too much, would defend the term Trinity as Christian ?
Och ! it was a delicate stratagem—a right conynge device to
christen anew the fundamental doctrines of Inspiration, by way of
preserving them in their purity and raciness, and integrity.

GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED .BY THE
UNITED KINGDOM LIFI ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
S, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-ress, Mansion-

house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires,
when an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the
very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the
date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted at, death, or
may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes
easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar-
rangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time
after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he
may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums
for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com-
panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
281. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil-
dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to
the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d , being the amount of premium un-
paid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is
clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not pos.essed of a for-
tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a
sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

NEW DOMESTIC MEDICAL MACHINE,
Victor Jacquemont repeatedly avers, in his celebrated
letters, that the English die from neglecting the use of lavements.
It is, therefore, with renewed confidence that W. Pine recom-
mends THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN to the serious atten-
tion of persons who are in the (injurious) habit of taking opening
medicines ; or who suffer from indigestion, and other disorders'
connected with a confined or irregular state of the bowels. Of this
greatly-improved lavement apparatus, a late eminent physician thus
expressed his opinion :—"I am convinced that the introduction of
Dr. Scot's instrument will tend greatly to the preservation of
human life, if families make it a point to be provided with it; and
as it is admirably suited for foreign climates, it ought to form an
item in every outfit abroad !" The Aperitive Fountain presents
advantages over every other lavement apparatus, which are, that
having been filled, it may be conveyed in the pocket (or in a lady's
reticule) to any appropriate place:--is always ready for use without
fixing—has none of the usual perishable material—and lastly EX-
CLUDES AIRS, which has long been a desideratum.
Supplied by W. Pine, Superintendent at Dr. Scott's Medical
Repository, 369, Strand, three doors from Exeter Hall.

31 INERAL SUCCEDANEITm
FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH,
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED,
AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED.
Monsieur MA LLAN, and Son, Surgeon Dentists, :32, GREAT
USSEI L-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, and 16, PRINCES-STREET,
HANOVER-SQUARE, continue to restore DECAYED I'EETH
with their MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, (of which they are the
Sole INVENTORS and POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, or
pressure, and FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether arising
from age, neglect, disease of the Gums, the use of Calomel, or
any other cause. They have also discovered a NEW COMPOST
I'l ON for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending
Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper
vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found ob-
iectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency
to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. M. have
been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO-
VERY, and they can tix the above without extracting the STUMPS, er
causing any incumbrance, and even on GUMS of the most tender nature,
,rotecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose. No WI RES or LIGA:
1 ORES are used, and they MATCH the ORIGINAL TEETH in point
of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and AR-
TICULATION. In consequence of their improvements in the mocha.

Mr. Harvey, the Registrar under the new Act, has given
to the public thrugh the medium of a Morning Journal some
9lformation concerning the new Act and the old law, of which
the following is the substance. After stating that he believes
that there is no legal remedy for suffering from broken win-
dows and wet seats, he continues—
Prior to the Ist and 2d Wm. IV., cap. 22, by which Act
twenty-six antecedent Acts, beginning with the 9th of Anne,
other inconveniences at
and ending with the 57th eo. 111., were repealed, a remedy

to consolidate the law valuable safeguards are swept away, and
no substitute applied. Even the Act by virtue of which lam
an
thatf rtre
now at liberty to address yciu is far from being a measure of
absolute wisdom, although in many respects it is working
well ; and time, especially if aided by extended provisions,
will still further improve it.
As I am daily appealed to upon various matters connected
with the Hackney Carriage Act, perhaps you will permit me
to reply to a few of the most prominent. Great and frequent
complaints are made of the varying numbers of passengers car-
ried in the inside of the omnibuses, and of the changing an-
nouncements upon the external plates, to the great annoyance
of the crowded passengers ; as also of the irregular fares which
are exacted by the conductors. To the questions put to me
in these particulars, I have to answer that there is no law to
regulate the fares of metropolitan stage carriages, though I
can see no good reason why these carriages should not be
arknable to the same fares as the hackney carriages, and the
_onlyseenrity which the passenger has against imposition, is
a special contract, or the publication of prices on the stage
itself ; and, as to the number of passengers, the proprietor
may make his omnibus as hot and as crowded as the black
hole of Calcutta, if the public choose to submit, provided
he pays one shilling, and announces his numbers at Somer-
set House, which he is at liberty to vary every twenty-four
hours. Many inconveniences also arise from the de-
lay and the means of prosecuting redress under the new Act,
though these are much fewer and slighter than formerly. A
person coming to this office for the name and address of a
driver or conductor, having obtained the same, is obliged to
go to another and a distant office for a summons, and upon
some future day he has to attend the hearing of his complaint,
frequently waiting several hours in a crowded room of unin-
viting objects, and he is fortunate if the pressure of other
business does not adjourn his ez.se. For these annoyances,
which act as an indemnity for offences, the remedy is obvious
and simple. This office, I submit, ought to have the power
to summon parties, and upon stated days to adjudicate upon
cases; and at the same time it is desirable, that at the same
place the inquirer ought to be able to ascertain the number of

I
will conclude a long letter, with observing, that the pro-
prietors and drivers of public carriages ought also to feel that
they are protected by the law, and that if they are punished
for extortion, so ought the traveller to be published when he
withholds his just fare. I have yet to be informed why
taking too much should be called extortion, while refusing to
uay a just demand should be regarded as a mere emission.
I was pained to read the other day the report of a case at
a police-office, when the driver of a hackney-cab successfully
summoned a passenger for refusing to pay his just demand,
that the Magistrate expressed his regret in being obliged to
order the passenger to pay the difference with costs. The
law ought to be an unbending arbitrator between the extortion
of the ignorant and the petty meanness of dexterous cupidity.

His Excellency remarks that the two instances of loss of life,

Stoney, are alluded to in the memorial as having occurred
within the present year, had excited—from peculiar circum-
stances attending the fate of those much respected gentlemen

feels it necessary to add, that you may depend upon the
