PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET', and IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on cvery variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy, and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to eonfiiyment or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
oporrhcea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon these unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
heir future exertion to maintain.

Letters, containing an enclosure,•will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with until
wecovered.

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.
" Viecet veritas et prevalebit."
FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA-
TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA-
TIC GOUT, lIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA-
TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now
for the first time introduced to the notice of the public ; al-
though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for-
ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be
confounded with the dal* empirical puffs that are obtruded on
the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred
proprietor of I:wryer's Embrocation from advertising it.
reeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be-
nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes
that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com-
tnon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of
duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to
• ropt this made of making this wonderful remedy generally
°wo that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying
4,!
3 blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the
pOurietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him-
aelf.,,,` a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty
Years' stn ,ding, and although on that occasion he had been
(20tficiod to ;:is bed-room for two months, he was enabled to
walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since
that period thousaCis, from the noble to the peasant, have been
"red by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has
never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie-
tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary
curette), has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen
of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest
(Ustorery every made in medical science. The superiority it
° Possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in-
noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with
Which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and
711•,,„. timid patient, and in the certainty of its being a sound, safe,
Artr, tad radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all
their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in
confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3,
Friday-street, for the inspection of those who may wish to
satisfy themselves on the subject.
To be had of Mr. Feaver, Friday-street, Cheapside ;

~y and Sons, Farringdon-street ; Newbury ard Sons, St.
