BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D..
9, BED "'ORD-STREET. BEDFORD.SQUARE,
LONDON,
Doctor of Medi( sine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Licenti. tie of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London hospital Medical Society, &c.
Marriage requi res the fullihnent of several conditions, in order
that it may be peally the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
'veil, which covers: the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Exces we are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific s °sine of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and cone quence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of gmater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work conteirm an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physfsology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest .attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importanc=e than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It uni-ortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently. but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse.sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LL'MERT has obtained She highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great er.tent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professionsd experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of the se diseases.

A E.
M one half the world are desofately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, Sr a
sense of right determine the fernier, and Miscalculated hopes ens-
bitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under
regret un-
der the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the isidi
h soluble,acity,
coruProsing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. P
and broken health, ace the great hindrances to
doymaical incap
estic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement.
Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERVIrELL'S little
MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vole., le.
each (by Post, in stamps, le. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, sr prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put firth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace •to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. fid.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
Tamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
'mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
pervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
'Maid be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "Ninny side of the way." The above works may be had of
