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, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and
even bad hooks. With the force of this 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 before the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to tke 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 clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very questionede tendency, made us ex •
tr,:mely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita •
Lion in saying thit we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of 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, myth as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, tcc., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
c:no, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of ffections. 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 he
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.

Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at
their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.
Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible
in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com-
plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and eccu•
pat ion in life of the party ; the communication must be ac-
companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which,
no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in
all cases the most. inviolable secresy may he relied on.

It is a remarkable fact that While the mean tem-
perature of the month of December, 1840, at Greenwich.
scarcely reached 32 degrees, at Aberdeen, in Scotland,
it was 39 degreew.—Hereford Times.

THE TOILET.—A fine head of hair—" thp
inestimable gift of the Graces," froM its influence in giving
due effect and expression to the features, has been uni-
versally sought after. No article for this purpose has
ever been favoured with such distinguished patronage as
" Rowland's Macassar Oil," the reputation of which, fbr
its beautifying and restorative qualities, has been promul-
gated in all ranks of fashion and elegance, which the high
encomiums and testimonials of its value amply cerrobo—
rate ' • in dressing the hair, and arranging it into any de-
sired form of curl or other decorative formation, the ad-
dition of this oil is essential ; it preserves the coiffure in
the heated atmosphere of the ball-room, and prevents the
relaxing effects of damp, or violent exercise.

SIGHT AND HEARlNG.—Patronized by their
Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal
Highnesses the late Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia,
her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses

comes clear and distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight'bi.
comes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural,
and 'original state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor
. Sound Magnifiers for deaf persons, is not the hest perceptible nor
uncomfortable ; they give immediate relief to old standing extreme
cases of deafness, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly Is
heard with exact distinctness.— 39, Albemarle.street, opposite the
