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, ;lever so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and
even bad books. With the force of thin 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 of 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 befor the public on such a subject
which
can lay claim to tl.e character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
'f he moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.--Magnet.
The p f 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

causes, such 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 Pultnonlry
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 affections. 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 well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those Who stand most in
need of them.—Statcsman.

2d. To carry the same into execution, and to prevent
the importation of provisions, as well as to obstruct and
cut off the escape of rebels from the said city, the Com-
manding Officer of the Squadron, Jose Antonio Padilla,
is duly authorised to act in concert and under the orders
of his Excellency the Governor-General in Chief.
3d. Should any merchant vessel, whether national or
foreign, appear before the port mentioned, Captain
Padilla will order her to retire, and if, after his noti-
fication, the vessel should attempt to violate the block-
ade, she will be captured and adjudged according to law.

that cit.), and as there is every probability of its sur-
rendering before fifteen days elapse, notice will be given

sent decree, without the usual formality of an anti-
cipated declaration of blockade generally observed in
these cases.

the Agents of the Central Government, contrary to the
deliberate vote of the majority of its inhabitants, the

2d. That the public opinion of the people. of the
said province of Carthagena, and to fulfil the duty
which devolves upon me in that of Manzanares, to
insure its existence under the federal form, I have
commenced military operations, both by sea and land.
with the object of reducing to obedience the disaffected
of said city, and thus to consolidate the predominance of
the opinion voluntarily expressed by the citizens, who,
using their natural rights and privileges of a sovereign
people, have separated themselves from the Central Go-
vernment of Bogota, and organized another form, better
suited to their happiness and prosperity.
3d. That, notwithstanding the hostile measures which
it is indispensable to adopt to compel the town of Car •
thagena to surrender, it is not wished in any way to
prejudice the interests of foreign commerce, thus giving
to friendly nations, with whom there arc existing treaties
a positive proof of the respect which at all times they
have for their properties, and the desire on our part to
cultivate and increase, as far as possible, friendly and
mercantile relations with all the nations in the world.
