In a sealed Envelope.—This day is published,
APRACTICAL 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 N% ILLIAM 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 na'ional desideratum. It con 7
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
staps :of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct.
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2diy, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
streed, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The ti eatment of tr.is disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to s'ime 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 Pocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of art 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, useless, 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 "Mardipod ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal luny to satisfy us that th, 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
ffects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surveons. 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 c„nfidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that. throe 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 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 dear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. V.'e
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questiona'ile tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. flaring. however, hen
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in saying that we arise from Its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition c f 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, such a; 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, 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.
