r PHE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
j_
TURES of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. With practical observations on the use and abuse of instru-
ments in the treatment of uretkral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-
terity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the se-
vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent,
By F. B. COURTEIcA T, M.R.C.S.E.,
" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the pruderce, science, and skill
et a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

TO the CLERK of the WEATHER.

Clerk of the weather, pardon my audacity,
In writing to a personage like thee ;
Ind kindly condescend, in thy capacity,
To listen to a word or two from me.
I wish from one, whs understands the weather,
To ascertain the length of Winter's tether.
How long will Winter, with an aspect surly,
Retain possession, now his lease is out ?
The Spring glad changes—thou know'st is far from early—
Ind seems to hesitate in doubt.
Oh ! Mr. Clerk, I would that my barometer
Would indicate a rise in the chronometer.

The world of fashion, when this weather closes,
A beautiful appearance will assume ;
Yes, well I know, from what is done by MOSES,
That thousands will be clothed in prime costume.
MOSES and MON this Spring-time will endeavour
To furnish better articles than ever.

MOSES and SON'S Establishment is teeming
With Coats, and Tests, and Trowsers choicely made ;
And many an eye with satisfaction beaming,
Has made selections from this stock in trade.
ftleh clothes as these wore never put together,
And crowds are longing for a change of weather.
Hats, Boots, and Shoes, and Hosiery, too, are ready
At MOSES' Mart, in waiting for the Spring ;
I really wish the weather would be steady,
That we might don the dress of which I sing.
Thus may it be—and ere these lines are printed,
II ay Winter do what I'Te politely hinted.
