AFFAIRS ON THE ICE.—Rare old Winter!
crusty business " sliding scales" popular everywhere, the sur-
face of the lakes peopled with industrious thousands, and the fishes
snoozing under a coverlet of ice some nine or ten inches thick, but
every' individual, lady and gentleman, fully appreciating the excel-
lencies of the WINTER AT fIRE prepared by E. MOSES and Sox.
Never was there such a promiscuous gathering on the skating busi-
ness as daring the past week, and never such a display of fashionable
End comfortable Dress.

The success of E. MOSES and SON never appeared so much to ad-
vantage, and loud and numerous were the encomiums passed on
them by the skaters and the dense multitudes which lined the banks
of the waters.
It appears that the business of E. MOSES and SON must always
triumph, the hest Dress being prepared by them for every season,
cold, sve t, damp, frost, of snow, variety for all classes, and comfort-
able attire for everybody at the most economical prices.
Skaters and sportsmen all patronise the productions of E. Moses
and Sox, the style and fit of the Garments made by them being so
much superior to any others.
Young gentlemen are filly equipped at E. Mosas and Son's, their
Attire, Rats, Caps, Shirts, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., being un-
paralleled for superiority and economy.
For freezing or thawing times and all other times, for ladies and
gentlemen, men of business, mechanics, sailors, and emigrants, the
-East and West End Establishment of E. Mesas and Sox secure as-
tonishing advantages in Quality and Price.
The Wholesale Department affords the greatest advantages to
Purchasers either for the home trade or the colonies.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
nesehood of " Being connected with their 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

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET
INFIRMITIESI OF

Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital_. Medical

MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, OD
the various disorders of.- the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pre-
fluted more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis
emu known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exis,-
once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
en•l
age
l, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
smodifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring g'r'ievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con,equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'aIEIIT 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 qualified 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 arc too generally confided to the
care of unqualified 'and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign 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
Sii till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and
Medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LAWERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on
