" 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 prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only he acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent.practice."-TUston's9uerative Surgery.

LWil One half the world are desolately single, and the other
upposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
If caution and 'worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
vroprosin hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
aid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
,nd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
•it the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

[ADVERTISEMENTI—A Dreadful Enlargement of
the Knee Cured by Holloway's Pills.—Abram Banks, an
elderly man living near the Dry Creek, South Australia, had
such a painful affection and enlargement of the knee that he
despaired of ever recovering the use of his limbs, the numerous
remedies that he made trial of failing to banish or even to
mitigate the disease. In this suffering condition he was ad-
vised to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and he com-
menced a regular application of them, which in a short time
effected a complete cure. The Adeloide Observer, of the 25th
March, 148, publishes this as one among the many astonish-
ing cures effected in south Australia by these invaluable Medi-
cines.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
