M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ens-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en-
compresing hurry ; but the truth Iles deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
in the cerapact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yon, procure Dr. CULYERWEIL'S little
'MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let is imaginatively
"dined, +or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
my misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
ter the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the enipyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two ether
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
of the "sunny aide of the way." The above works may be had of

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, it 1 or der
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness,
esti, he raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the girt, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advautage, become" when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or les'
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular exces
s injuryes,
she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to Mint*:
are productive of greater severity of misery to Use human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete aoesent of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and •f
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest atteution and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities if which every man silmuld
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ho
forgets that accuiate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathvith the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA.'3IERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
