" Semper nocuit differe paratis."—Ltwax.
THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full of
'embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their
physical imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror
of exposure accumulate in the morbid imagination, whiie in-
creasing disease augments the suffering of the body and the
irritability of the mind. Sensible of the anguish thus pro-
tracted, we have adopted a system which long practical expe-
rience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes
the absolute necessity of personal communication with those
who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable
u. to treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been
the peculiar nature of our practice, embracirg every variety of
difficult circumstances, that the most timid may feel encourage-
ment in the opportunity thus afforded them.
Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the con-
stitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a
restoration to health, without any interference with the ordinary
diet and habits.
Alessrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every
day, at their residence; and Patients in the remotest parts of
the country, can be treated successfully on their describing
minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Advice and
Medicine. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be
securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.

RATEMAN'S CONCENTRATED PRE_
51fi PARATION OF RIO NEGRO SARSAPA-
RILLA is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating
the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public.
It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples
and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Scurvy,
Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, anal all those disorders originating
in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and
particularly those arising from the long.continued use of mercury.
This Preparation, which is the result of many yell's' laborious
research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, m
his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical So.
ciety :"
" It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species
of Sarsa, the Itio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing
ulcers all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of ehronical
affections. It is scarcely less remarkable fur its power in improving
the condition and habit of body, and the, efore it is not without
reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the
Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic aftbctions, and
there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter-
, ing the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it
does most manifestly in scrofolous,consumptive,and dropsical habits,
and caehexies—foul or perverted states of the humours,

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 have
no hesitation, however, in saying thatthere 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 downto the
score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished
ofb to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons
t.both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary eorisumbaps ir, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin
d.b been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practise y 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
racticts
detecting the too often concealed p so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and tilt in ately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
'proper time. He will here find a clue. to guide him through
in
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, eause 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 cf 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
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from thorn, if
not relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consnited daily at their
residence,; No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till '.ight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as nsinnte 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 I/.," without which 110 notice whatever can be
taken of their applicntion ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

It is stated that under the term Metropolis are com-
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the
btils of mortality—and the parishes of St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington St. Mary,
Stoke Newington • St. Leonard, Bromley ; Mary•le-
bow ; Camberwell% Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
merated iu 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1836 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
popul A, ion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.
