The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inherent privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing conflelence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

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' rdge-for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the'kriti,' Was; we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sentfliiii: "The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a Vkrreonsiderable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. 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 the 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-
abie.--Magnet.
The perusatorMessrs. 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 questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely 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 •
thin in saying that 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, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of ter...pes
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as PulmonarY
I Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi
•
caw, 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 front such perusal, will be
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, Fri':,h-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 cons-
plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu-
pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac-
companied by the usual consultation fee of 11., without which,
nc notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in
all cases the most inviolable secresy may be relied

THE DERBY.--NO change was observable in the first
favourite, who was backed for 1001., but a disposition to
lay against Chathata"wao J4.c_ttityed in three qr four quar-
ters; 14 to I `term offte, but'we suspect that the
layer would have gone on without much pressing. Ro-
bert de Gorham was backed at 20 and 22 to 1, rather
freely; and Lord of Holderness twice at the odds stated
below. Wiseacre and the Three colt, and William de
Fortibus, were also in some demand, and 1,000 to 15
(laid once) was offered to be taken repeatedly about Ca-
nadian. The Agreeable colt re-appeared at 1,000 to 15,
which was taken to win 15,0001., without tiring out his
numerous enemies, some of whom even offered 2,000 to
25; at the close no one would take less than 100 to 1.
The afternoon's betting was flat per se, but quite brisk
compared with the transactions of the last fortnight.
