EUROPEAN COURTS.
NDIAESS embassies and fruitless negotiations
t have occupied the Courts of Europe for some time. Whether
the constellation of the "Great Bear" is an unlucky one, we must
'cave fbr the consideration of all observers ; but the soundest policy
las 'been pursued by the patrons of the establishments of E. MOSES
and SON, who have negotiated affairs of dress on a scale of unpre-
Itedeuted Magnificence and economy. The war of elements is totally
hued lqy the attire manufactured by E. Mosas and SON, and all
;the advadtages of a complete victory are Sepprocb by an artistic fit
cicalch combines fashion end comfort.

As ambassadors to the Court of Fashion;.E. MOSES and SON are

the most successful negotiators which the commercial word has
ever acknowledved—they have produced styles of dress which have
gained them universal reputation. Their present facilities for exe-

eftting the commands of noblemen, merchant., men of business,
labourers, and all other sections of society, possess an indescribable

arapletude, associated with superior quality, infinite variety, and the
"oat economicalcharges. •
MlSerlds: iporting dress, military and naval costumes, are made by
E. Mos= and SON 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 SON at considerably lower prices than are customarily
charged.
The wholesale department of E. Moses and Sores business is highly
advantageous to merchants, captains, and emigrants. Their cloth-
ing, boats and shoe., outfits, &c. &c., are the best shipments which
Can be made to Australia or any part of the world.
• Full lists of outfit. for ladies and gentlemen, and ship-sailing in-
formation, may be had on application, or post free.
CAUTION.—E. SON regret having to guard the
Mlle against Imposition, having learned that the untradesrnan-like

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful coe-
sequences resulting trent certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
which have produced 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 pathologists It. perusal is
particularly reoonimended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled. 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-
pities, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names
and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict
great injury on those whp are induced to place faith in their preten-
sions. The serious—On aquences resulting frcsfti such malpreictire
may easily he avoided if sufferers from these ma' all a were t.v asc
tain if t'.eir medical adviser be a ember of t.:e I onion 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 distinguished.
