ONLY VIGOUR : a Popular Inquiry into
the CONCEALED CAUSES of its PREMA-
TURE DECLINE ; with Instructions for its COMPLETE
RESTORATION, addressed to those suffering from the De-
structive Consequences of Exe-ssive Indulgence in Solitary
and Delusive Habits, Youthful Imprudence, or Infection ; with
Remarks on the Treatment of Gonorrhma, Gleet, Stricture,
and Syphilis. Illustrated with Cases, &c.
By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Corisulting Surgeons, London.

lers in the .United Kingdom.
The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa-
city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau-
tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene-
rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond-
ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical
practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a
timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly, monitor, or, where debi-
lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the
certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts
are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin,
and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of
Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care
of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of
that information and those salutary cautions this work is in-
tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of
generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they
require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life
entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and
(as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen-
trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for
the correct treatment of sexual infirmities.
If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind
seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate
and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described With
an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec-
tion and extensive practical experience.
The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in
no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy
than in " Lucas on Mertly -``. The initiation into
vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, arc
given with faithful, but alas 1 for human nature, with afflicting
truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with-
out affording. a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour"
temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation,
produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be
Festered ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the
consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter
his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous
style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the
outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how
the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange-
ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of
symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often
ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re-
sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of
an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the
mind and body.
Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the
expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this
remark is open to exception in any instance where the public,
and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession,
are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to
men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and
will demand that medical works for
.public study should be
devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of
medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work
before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very
strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring
doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the
eye) an entire devotedne,s to a deeply important branch of
study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds
in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering
consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can
be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a
warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent
blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi-
dently the production of a mind leng and practically conver-
sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human
organization.
The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief
anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded
union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of
matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad-
dre ,sed to all suffering under a despondency of the character
alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the
drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY.
This is the only Guaranteed Mutual Life Company—All other
Assurance Companies are either Mutual, in which the pllties
Assured are also their own assurers, there being no Share-
holders and no original Capital—or Proprietary, in which the
assured have no share in the profits, which belong exclusively
to the Shareholders—or Mixed, in which the assured have the
option, on payment of larger premium, of participating in a
portion only of the, profits. By the Constitution of the Lon-
don, Edinburgh, and Dublin Company, the Mutual Class of
the assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as
if they had been assured in a purely Mutual Society, and they
have also the security of the funds of the Company supplied by
the Shareholders, who, guarantee by the subscribed Capital, the
payment of the sums assured—the assured themselves being re-
lieved from all responsibility, and thus placed in the right of
the advantages afforded both by Mutual Societies and Proprie-,
tary Companies.

PRACTICE OF THE COMPANY.
Important improvements have been introduced into Life As-
surance practice by this Company, whereby the mode of ob-
taining Policies is simplified, all doubts as to their validity are
removed, and their application is much extended.
The Policies are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they
have been fraudulently obtained. They at once create for the
assured an unquestionable right in reversion, easily negotiable,
and valuable as a collateral security in pecuniary transactions.
One-half of the Premiums may remain unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan
for loan transactions and family provisions than any other which
has been suggested, allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half
of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured at a future pe-
riod, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a
new assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of
the sum for which he has paid premiums.

Whole World Policies, entitling the party to go or to reside
in any part of the World, are granted on payment of a small
additional premium, according to the circumstances of the case,
but fixed and determined at the time of granting the Policy.
Provisions for Old Age may be made by the purchase of an
annuity to commence at any defined age, or by effecting a Life
Assurance according to the following Table, whereby the sum
assured is made payable to the Assured himself on his attaining
60 years of age, and in the event of his death before that time,
it is payable to his heirs or assigns. -

Chronic Diseases form no bar to the granting of Policies
upon the lives of persons suffering from them; an additional
premium being charged according to the nature of the risk.
The Agents of the Company, and the Manager in London,
will, on application, forward, free of expense, Forms of Propo-
sal and every requisite information, to parties desirous of effect-
ing Assurances.
All Official Communications are considered as strictly con-
fidential.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF-
FICE, 1, KING WILLIANI-STREET, LONDON.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. Tho second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

. .

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk
of life durng res►dence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,

ther Bonus was awarded, amountinr, on the average to £3l per
cent, on the premiums paid during the preceding five years.
Bonuses may be applied to the increase of the sum assured,
to reduction of premiums for life, or for a term of years.
Policies on the lives of persons dying by suicide, duelling,
or by the hands of justice, are not void as respects the inte-
rests of parties to whom they may have been legally assigned.
Assurances may be effected on any and every day, and in-
structions forwarded to parties resident in the country on ap-
plication.

DEATH OF THE HON. ROGER "VOSE.—The Hon. Ro-
ger Vose died at his residence in 'Walpole, N.H., on the
28th ult. His age was about • 75. He had filled the
office of State -Senator, Representative in the House,
Meber to Congress. and Chief Justice of the Common
Pleas Court for the western circuit of New Hampshire
THE FRIGATE RARITAN.—A meeting is to be held in
Philadelphia on Wednesday evening next, for the pur-
pose of urging upon the Navy Department the propriety
of immediately completing and launching the frigate
Raritan, which has been upon the stocks at the Philadel-
nhia Navy-yard for twenty-one years, having been laid
down in 1820.

Faom Arnica.—The schooner Herald, Capt. Gold-
smith, from Princess Island, sth Sept., arrived at Boston
on Friday morning. Captain Goldsmith reports that her
Majesty's sloop of war IriS, Capt. Tucker, touched about
Ist Sept., for water, &c., and sailed again on a cruise. A
short time previous she had an engagement with a large
slaver in the Bight of Benin, and was beat off with the
loss of several men killed and wounded, among the latter
was the commander. !
AN HONOURABLE MEMENTO.—The Texas Congress
have directed a marble bust of Senator Walker, of Mis-
sissippi, who made the motion in the United States
Senate for the recognition of the Independence of Texas;
and a portrait of Senator Preston, who seconded the
motion, to be placed in the capitol of that.Republie.
Commodores Stewart, Biddle, and Reed, says the
Courier, had a narrow escape from being drowned on
Thursday morning. They had just landed at the Fulton
Ferry when the ferry steamboat ran into the boat they
had left and smashed her to pieces.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.—Iion. T. llartly Crawford, Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs, and Major I). D. Mitchell,
Superintendent, arrived in the city on Saturday eveniAg,
from the Sac and Fox Agency, on the Des Moine river.
We learn that the Commissioners were unable to treat
with the Indians, notwithstanding the liberal offers that
wt-i-e made. The bees and Foxes promptly and posit
tively refused to sell a single acre of their lands. A
correspondent remarks, that "this will be a sad disap-
pointment to the people of lowa, who were exceedingly-
anxious to enlarge the boundaries of the territory, and
furnish an outlet to the emigrants that are daily pouring
in from the neighbouring States. A company of United
States Dragoons arc stationed at the Agency, for the
purpose of keeping off tresspassers, and so long as they
remain all will be well ; but serious apprehensions are
entertained for the peace of the frontier, so soon as the
troops are withdrawn.—St. Louis Bulletin.
