AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR,
with REMARKS on the VARIOUS INCIDENTS
which have oecii.eed during FORTY-FIVE YEARS of his
LIFE, and a FULL DESCRIPTION of his MODE of
TREATING DISEASES, with REASONS EXPLANA-
TORY of HIS SYSTEM.
By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE,
Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections en In-
digestion, Gout, Tenia Capitis, Scarlet Fever," &c.
" Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a
wooden spoon in their mauths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and
industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour.
neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead.
ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any
man who makes such unceasing efforts as he as done to allevia e
the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."—
Times, Nov. 3.
" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all Isis efforts crowned with success.
fhe Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what (nay be accom-
plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written in a cheerful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these
diseases is fully described in the course of Isis Memoir, and be has
added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may
read."—The Sun, Nov. 5.

THE WESTERN STAR,
PRICE FOURPENCE.
This being an ultra-Radical Paper, every impediment has
been thrown in its way by the officers of her Majesty's Stamp
Office. The forms, containing articles of great importance,
were in type, and every preparation for printing the Enlarged
Star completed, when a communication from Somerset House
was received by the Proprietors, to the effect that time must
be taken to consider tl.e validity of the bonds—althougla the
respectability of the parties proffered was beyond dispute. This
is nothing more nor less than a species of unfairness practised
towards Radic3.l Newspapers. This being now settled, the
WESTERN STAR will positively appear on
SATURDAY NEXT, NOV. 28.
This Paper will look to no party but the great party of the
People, of whose rights, political and religious, it will be found
the fearless and uncompromising advocate, the columns of the
WESTERN STAR will be prompt in the exposure of the
ramified abuses, lay and clerical, with which this distracted
country abounds.
The want of such a paper as the WESTERN STAR, in
the West of England, the quality of the matter, the low price
at which it will be sold, the Proprietors hope will ensure for it
a large share of public favour and an extensive circulation.

The Work which is now 'resented to the public is the result
Of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affee-
ti.:.s, which fir some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
differenee, by the o dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is so member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation ot a PA-
RENT, a PRECEP TOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
soma disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes,
go., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and iesponsibility of a arent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
rupil3 are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
iinnt;:oeph:;tlise. He will here find a clue.tn guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby to judge, when deli,ncy of health :should appear to
\attack any of his young charges, what the reai cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out', lie
disastrous consequences which arc sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
