MANLY VIGOUR : a Popular Inquiry into
the CONCEALED CAUSES of its PREMA-
TURE DECLINE; with Instructions for its COMPLETE
RESTORATION, addressed to those suffering from the De-
structive Consequences of Excoisive Indulgence in Solitary
and Delusive Habits, Youthful Imprudence, or Infection ; with
Remarks on the Treatment of Gonurrhcea, Gleet, Stricture,
and Syphilis. Illustrated with Cases, &c.
By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, London.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weaknets, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau-
tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond.
ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical
practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi-
lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin,
and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of
Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care
of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of
that information and those salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from th routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen-
trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for
the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities.
" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate
and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with
an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet.
The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in
no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy
than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into
vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are
given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting
truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with-
out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour"
temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be
restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the
consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous
style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange-
ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the
mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger.
"Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and
will demand that medical works for
.public study should be
devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of
medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work
before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very
strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring
doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of
study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds
in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering
consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can
be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a
warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent
blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi-
dently the production of a mind long and practically conver-
sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human
erganization."—Magnet
The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief
anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded
union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of
matrimonial obligations.
This essay is most particularly ad-
dressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character
alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the
drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inhereut privi-

be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

The following are a few Of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published:—
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.3, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many df the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming before the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex •
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita •
thin in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, sueli as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel las
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.

LATEST MANCHESTER BETTING.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.
At this festive season we cannot expect much business,
even in the turf market. Several influential specula-

or three bets were all that were made, with a good dash
of offers.
THE CHESTER CUP.-100 to 5 was repeatedly offered
on the field ; Prince Caradoc v..ould have been backed at
five points more, and that price was asked for on the
field ; the name of the horse did not transpire ; 500 to
15 was offered against Morning Star, and the same
figure against Satirist. The field aga inst 16 was offered.

MANCHESTER.—AIthough this is a period of the year
at which any great degree of activity is hardly to be ex-
pect ed, there have been within the last two or three days,
and more particularly during yesterday, soma symp-
toms of improvement in our yarn market ; and a
trifling advance over the very low prices paid about
ten days ago, has been pretty generally obtained upon
numbers and qualities of yarn suitable to the present
demand. Many of the purchasers also have shown a
strong inclination to make contracts for future de-
livery, which is a favourable symptom as to the condi-
tion of the market. In goods, however, there is not
much improvement ; and the extremely low prices
which have ruled for some weeks past remain without
change. Still there is a rather better feeling in the
market ; and, as is indeed usual at this period of the
year, a more decided improvement in the course of a
month or two is confidently looked for. During the
two last years, this expectation was defeated by the
unfavourable position of the Bank of England, and the
consequent pressure upon the money market. There is
some reason to hope, that this year the same cause will
not be in operation, as the Bank is now understood to
be in a comparatively easy and secure position—her
stock of coin and bullion at the present moment
amounting to somewhere about five millions and a half,
with every appearance of a progressive increase.
We hope these favourable anticipations may be realized;
and that the slight improvement of yesterday may
prove the commencement of a steady and permanent
amelioration of the present depressed condition of our
manufacturers.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 27.
—The business to-day has been very limited, as is
usually the case on those Mondays that fall between
Christmas-day and the new market, which is always
held on the first Monday after the Gth of January.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, DEC. 28.—Were it not a
weekly custom, it would be unnecessary to report the
last market day in the year, which was (as it always
was) in point of amount of commercial ,transactions
approaching to a blank. However, it is satisfactory to
notice, that there was a trace of bright feeling arising
from the impression that a new year will witness some
eommercial relief.

The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Fremantle has
left the Duke of Buckingham's for Fawsley Park, the
seat of Sir Charles Knigbtley, in Northamptonshire.
The Earl of Wiltshire has also left London for Fawsley.
Park.

DISTRESSING SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning,
about half-past five, a young man about 21 years of
age, of the name of William Michaux, a pearl worker,
who resided with his father in Berwick-street, Soho,
committed self-destruction. It appears that the young
man had been °fit all night drinking, and that he called
upon his uncle, who resided in high-street, Lambeth, and
mentioned tti him that he had disposed of a valuable
packet of pearls which his father had had to work for a
customer, and that he did not know what to do, but he
was determined never to show his face at home again.
His uncle expostulated with him, and promised to accom-
pany' him home, and broach the subject of the loss to his
father; for which purpose they were walking arm-in-arm
together under the walls of the Archbishop of Canter-
bery's Palace, when Michaux suddenly darted forward
and precipitated himself into the water, and was drowned.
We are requested to state, that that fashionable
periodical, " Blackwood's Lady's Magazine," is about to
be published for the new year, with additional charms,

MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL « THB MAN

oevieer imaginative writers

of the day. Her knowledge ofs

ex-
ceeded by any novelist. Like call the r'
-m
rest of her
s
admirable productions, " The Man of Fortune " has
been eagerly looked for by the novel reading world, and
in its perusal no one we venture to say, will be disap-
pointed of the amusement expected to be derived from
its pages. Of all the various stories we have had the
gratification of perusing from Mrs. Gore's pen, we have
hardly met with one so thoroughly pleasing- and inter-
esting as " The Man of Fortune "—a circumstance
arising probably from the entirely original manner in
which she has treated her subject—pourtraying with
singular ability and humour, the struggles of a young
man entering upon life with almost unbounded wealth to
snake himself a star in the , West exclusively by the influ-
ence of his fortune.
The present tale must undoubtedly
rank
as one of Mrs. Gore's best fictions.
