This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the Wiles, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which,* however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is ne member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching t apremature rave, in conse-
quence of some disease, whin ich,o forp want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
efiisnedd,

this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred cha.racter is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the d's-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR
DYE changes in a few minutes, without trouble, red, br
grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., to a dark
brown or black, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid;
one application will produce a pleasing and a permanent change.
The colour it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to
have been effected by dye, it being se perfectly natural, and
neither washing, perspiration, or any
will in the least fade
or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore
false hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own.
Also, thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers,
which was a great disfigurement, have become quite dark from
the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
Any lady or gentleman may dye their Hair with ease and
secrecy in a few minutes without trouble.

WILKINSON'SPAIgTI - CORROSION

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their
houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp or sea sprit, in exposed situations; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves-
sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
other colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade.

REGIST RA.TIONS.
TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS.

The next General Election (should there be one
v;ithio 15 months) virtually commenced on Sunday, that
being the day on which the Overseers published the
list of voters for the ensuing year.
Every Reformer, should, therefore, attend to the fol-
lowing instructions :-Ist. He should see that the Over-
seers publish their lists on all the Churches and Chapel
doors on the Bth of August, their wilfully neglecting to
do so rendering them liable to a penalty of 5001. 2dly.
He should examine those lists on next Sunday, at
he residence of an Overseer any day before the
15th of August, which any person may do without the
payment of any fee. He should see that his name, qua-
lificatiAn, and place are correctly described, and having
ascertained if the names of any persons, who he believes
to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he
should induce them to claim to be registered on or before
the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act
prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.
A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

To the Overseers of the Parish of
I hereby give you notice that I claim to have my
name inserted in the List made by you of persons en-
titled, under the Reform Act, to Vote in the Election of a

premises, as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop,
workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the
name of the street, court, &c. ; put in the date, and sign
the names of the claimant, and his place of abode, at full
length. If a scot and lot voter, instead of the words
" under the Reform Act," insert " In respect of the Scot

On or before tho 25th August, give this claim *o an
overseer, and afterwards attend before the Revising Bar-
risters, who hold their Courts between the 15th Sep-
tember and the 25th October. A correct copy of this
claim should be kept, and the party who serves the claim
should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim
was delivered, and the day of the month and year.
He should then copy from the Overseer's list the
names of any political opponent that he believes not be
be entitled to a vote ; and, should he be disinclined to
take the trouble consequent upon objecting himself, he
should forward his information to a Reform or Regis-
tration Society, if there be one in that borough or city,
or to some active Reformer residing therein,—as it is
necessary that the objector, or some one on his behalf,
should appear in the Revising Barrister's Court to sup-
port the objection, though the proof of qualification will
fall on the person objected to.
The following are grounds of disqualification, viz.:-
Ist. Not having been in occupation of the premises for
12 months previously to the Ist of July.
2d, Not occupying as tenant, but only as director, se-
cretary, clerk, servant, &c.

door. This is not necessary for any other premises, as
shop, warehouse, counting-house, &c.

rated, to all poors-rates made since July 31, 1840.
sth. Non-payment, on or before the 20th of July, of
window-tax (if assessed) due before the 6th of April, or
of the poors-rates which have been demanded per-
sonally, or by a notice left at the premises, before the
6th of April.

since the 31st of January last.

by a person whose name is on the overseer's list, and
must be delivered to an overseer on or before the 25th
of August :

NOTICE OF OBJECTION.
To the Overseers of the parish of

rival at the Broomielaw, on Thursday, of the splendid
ship Ganges, to load machinery for Constantinople.
She is the largest vessel which has ever ventured above
Port-Glasgow, being 728 tons register, or about 150 tons
larger than any vessel that has ever come to our ha:-
