THE COMIC ENGLISH GRAMMAR.

•° A very clever jeu d'esprit, and both in text and embellish-
ments replete with laughable matters. He would be a cynic

PRACTICAL and POPULAR TREA-
TISE, adapted and written expressly for the USE of
the NON-MEDICAL READER, pointing out a successful
and never-failing mode of effectually Curing those dire Dis-
eases depicted in the works of Drs. Tissot, Solomon, Jordan,
Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE,
Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.
This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:—let, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility, will find this locket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

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 fur 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 disease 3, which arise
from certain secret praetices, 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 lungs. 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 no 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 to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for 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, tapes, &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-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
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 character 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 dis-
, estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their

whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the

Slit —I think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-
ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " Eye
Snuff." You must understand, Sir, that 1 have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and
dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th
year) that it was the decay of Nature, and was advised by a
friend, who said so much in its favour, and the extraordinary
virtues of your invention, I was ir.duccd to give it a trial, and
I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have de-
rived from the use of four of your 2s. 4d. canisters has enabled
me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my
head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues,
that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recommending it to
all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.
1 am, Sir, your much ohligiq. and grateful servant,
ANN COLE.
