The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from 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. Its perusal is
Pertieularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts 01
their physical condition, and who aro conscious of having hazardee
the health, haPPiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It Is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there art
prim' plea of personal management which cannot be violated without
hearing grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the lyeelay of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow these penalties
irsy be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
ar.d how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely aly deeree of physical infirmity or functions'
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure,
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which hays
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
eeepteies, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading
principles of this Society :
OBJECTS OP TUE SOCIETY.
1. A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Payment, or
by an Annual Premium.
2. Policies may be effected wrrn or without the privilege of
• • withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. It with-
out this privilege, the rates are lower.
3. A Life Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on
Joint Lives or Survivorship!.
4. Annuities, Immediate, Deferred, or Contingent, will be
granted; also Endowments for Children.
5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as-
sure 1 without extra charge, and allowed to go abroad with-
out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium,
according to climate.

In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half the
annual payments will be returned by way of purchase of his interest
therein. By this means, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is re-
moved, its cash value being fixed and determined beforehand by the
Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class

The present time seems to be peculiarly suitable for the establish-
ment of the proposed Line of Railway. The works upon the Inver-
ness and Nairn line have been commenced, and the contractors un-
dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August
next. On the other hand, the chain of Railway communication on
the south is complete as far as the town of Huffily, and measures are
understood to be in progress for extending the line northward Lmn
Huntly.

In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to apply to
Parliament, in the ensuing session for the Incorporation of a Com-
pany for making a Railway from Nairn to Elgin, which shall com-
plete the communication between Inverness and Elgin. The wm-
p my will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works
next summer, and thereby, with the least possible delay, to place
the fair and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard
to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway
throughout its whole extent, from the Beauly to the Spey, and un-
interrupted connection with the Southern markets must immediately
follow.

With this view, applications have been made to all the principal
proprietors along the line, who have, without exception, declared
themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready to afford facilities
for its construction. The plans have been finished, minute egimates
of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and
examined by contractors of the highest respectability; and the pro-
moters have no doubt that the works will be undertaken by them
for a sum which, together with the putchase of land, rolling stock,
treliminary elepenses, and all other charges necessary for the com-
pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed 200,0001., or
8,0001. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn. Findhom, and
Lossie For this sum the Company will be in possession of a single
line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient
working—and with bridges built and land purchased for a double
line. And the promoters are in a positien to state, that the contrac-
tors with whom they have been in communication will be prepared
to take payment of one-third of the cost of the works in stock.
The Engineering Works—from the level nature of the country,
and the light gravelly toll over which the line for the most part
passes—are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed
within the specified time.
Besides the large lo2al traffic arising from the line passing through
the centre of the richly
cultivated and populous county of sforay.
tkis Railway, when connected with the Great North of Scotland
Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great
through communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south.
From the character of the country the line can never be exposed to
railway competition.
Through the Inverness and Nairn Railway—with the directors of
which the promoters of this undertaking are in cordial co-operation
—the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal
at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large
and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of com-
mualcati, n to and from the counties of Banff, Moray, and Nairn.
At its other extremity, the line will communicate with the Elgin and
Lossiemouth Railway, and the pert of Lossiemouth. Besides these,
the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn,
Fjndhorn, and liurehead.
Careful observations of the traffic, made in 1845,
with a view to a
Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply
sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a rallWaY of a much more
Sithat
expensive nature.
—nce period, however, the wealth and
traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still
rapidly increasing.
Taking the basis of the observations of 1545, the result will be as
follosvs:

The undertaking, therefore, presents these peculiar advantages:—
I. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from
2. It will

average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line of

E. While the average return per mile per annum, in Scotland, has
been 2,000/., a sum of only
8501. per mile
Per annum, on
this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent.

4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole

Aberdeen, aid passing eastward of Nairn from the Western
and Northern Highlands.
b. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and
Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers,
whereby the facilities of transit will be on the one hand
greatly increased, while on the ether hand the working ex-
penses will be greatly economised.
6.lLtnes of this character, constructed at a moderate cod, in the
north of Scotland. have proved highly remunerative, as in-
stanced in the Lossiernouth and Deeside Railways, recently
opened—both ef which have returned dividends of 5 per
cent. on the first year's traffic.
7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one-
third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a
guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and
In evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer-
cial enterprise.
