Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Butchell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature, * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, and most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
t►ons, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kave
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
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, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than 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 concealed practicEs so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
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 cause 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 twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the naturo of those habits, to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
nut relinquished.

Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ton till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnto as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; anti in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

CERTAIN GROWTH of HAIR.—A Gen-
tleman just returned from a Tour in the East, and a
long residence in Constantinople, offers to the Public a CER-
TAIN REMEDY for the CURE or PREVENTION of
BALDNESS. The TURKISH HAIR BALSAM is the
preparation of Othman Mustapha, Surgeon-Barber to his
Majesty Abdul-Medjid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, by
whom the Advertisers are authorised to make known this valu-
able discovery. The miraculous properties of MUSTAPH A'S
BALSAM are unrivalled; the trial of a single bottle will re-
move the doubts of the most sceptical. In the course of a few
days the young Hair may be clipped with fine scissars. In use
it will be found singularly agreeable, and as a dressing for Real
or False Hair, surpasses anything hitherto known.
A Depot having been established in London, at No. 10,
Maddox-street, ilegent-street, the TURKISH HAIR BAL-
SAM may be had therP in Bottles, at fjs. and 9s. each, or in
large Bottles containing the quantity of three, at 98s. each. The
supply brought to England being at present very limited, an
early application from Vendors (to whom the usual allowance

Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced
into Life Assurance practice by this Company.
The Policies are fndisputable. All questions as to age,
health, habits, employment, residence, health of relatives, or
other matters deserving of inquiry prior to the Contract, are
held as finally settled when the Assured receives his Policy,
which is from its date a valid and unquestionable document of
future debt against the Company, whether it shall remain with
the Assured or be transferred to others.

One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan
for Loan Transactions and Family Provisions than any other
which has been suggested—allowing a Policy to be dropped
at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured
at a future period, when loss of health may prevent 'him
from obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for
double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums.
WIDOWS' FUND—The Company grant Jointures to Wi-
dows, calculated upon the data of Carlisle mortality.
