PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 2d, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Nlorning until Ten at Night, on cvery variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to cenfihraent or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon these unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public -0-
tronage for nearly
thirty years in Londea, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing-an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with until
recovered.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM
is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo-
derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu-
tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable
state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that
betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys-
tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im-
potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not
confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has
received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and tins
prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in-
active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other
weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers,
brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive
habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un-
timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men
or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative.
Old coughs, a:stlamas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved,
and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will,
ere long, meet the happiest change : the chill, watery fluid will
become rieh and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh,
firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis-
orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended
to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of
studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a
despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp-
toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the
mental are not less enfeebled than the eorporeal powers, and to
them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with
domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
