ONCE

UPON A TIME.
By CHARLES KNIGHT.
" This pleasant gallery of popular antiquarianism, alternately mak-
ng ourNheart yearn upon the good times that are gone never to
return, and causing us to wonder and to rejoice at the mighty strides
the world has made in the road of improvement."—John Bull.
"`Once upon a Time' is worth possessing."—Examiner.
" This varied, pleasant, and, what is not always the case, inform-
ing co'lection of Essays, is in part a selection from the writings of a
man who has done more to popularise literature than perhaps any
other man of the day. The volumes consist of a number of notices
illustrative of manners or archaeology. arranged in chronological
order."—Spectator.
John Murray, Albemarle-street.

LADY BIJLWER LYTTON'S NEW NOVEL.
—BEHIND the SCENES, by ALCIPHRON, will be ready on
WEDN KSDAY next. Since the appearance of Lady Bulwer Lytton's
first brilliant work, "Chevely," it has frequently been r marked by
crities that she woul I excel in political novels. "Behind th.
Scenes" is a most sparkling political novel of the present times, filled
with graphic portraits of living celebrities, and as it will doubtless be
in very great demand, the publisher deems it necessary to intimate
that immediate orders should be given to ensure copies of the first
edition.—Charles J. Skeet, 10, King William-street, Charing-cross.

MENT of STRICTURE of the URETHRA, in all it, Varie-
ties and Complications. With Practical Observations on the Use and
Abuse of Urethral Instruments. The whole illustrated by numeroas
cases, showing that this disease may be successfully treated by means
at once simple and safe, even in its most inveterate and apparently
intractable forms. By P. B. COURTEN tY, M R.C.S.E. "We
believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stricture
during the last eo years has equalled, if indeed it has not surpassed,
that of any of his contemporaries, and we know of no man to whose
care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a
severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular, July 27,
1853. H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street.

in ,clation to the Treatmeat and Cure of the Impuissant and Sexual
Hypochondriacs,
Translated from he German of Dr. PICKFORD.

T 3 whichlsaTeled, tutE DEBILITY, by the

Editor,

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
oat contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medt •
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall le:ect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may to in his rower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,'and ' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
se saved much needless suCering of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.
