This Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which far some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, 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 no member of
society, by whom time book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some 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, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth snuck more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
attack any of his young charges, what the real 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 flange habits, to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence,' No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of IL," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied en.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 23, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight &Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every 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 confinement 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 trier-.
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, tvahappily so preva-
ent, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of nubile pa.
tronage for nearly thirty years in Lonlon, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be cerresponded with until
recovered.

CUBEBS and COPAIBA ENTIRELY
SUPERSEDED.—Among the numerous Testimonials
from Medical Gentlemen of the first eminence in their Profes-
sion that have been received by M. 0. WRAY, stating the
decided superiority of his BALSAMIC PILLS over Copaiba,
Cubebs, and every other Medicine in the Cure of Gonorrhoea
and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, the following may be
taken as a convincing proof of their decided efficacy in those
affections :

PROM PROFESSOR DEWHURST.
" St. John's British Hospital,
16, Cross-street, Hgtton-garden.
" My dear Sir,—ln compliance with your request, I beg to
inform you that I have employed your Balsamic Pills' (which
you liberally presented to this Institution) ; therefore, I have)
now the pleasure of bearing public testimony to their great
efficacy in Diseases of the Bladder and Urinary Organs, parti-
cularly in severe cases of Gonorrhma and old-standing Gleets.
They have also proved of great service in severe obstinate cases
of Leucorrhcea or Fluor Albus.
" I have the honour to be, dear Sir, yours, faithfully,
" HENRY WILLIAM DEWHURST, Resident Sur-
geon, Professor of Astronomy, Anatomy, &c. &c.
" M. 0. Wray, Esq., May 1, 1837."

" Edinburgh, April 13, 1838.
" Dear Sir,—lt is with the utmost gratitule I pen this to
vou. About three months ago I was advised to try your far-
famed Pills for a certain complaint I then had. I did so, and
the result fulfilled my utmost expectation. At the end of the
fourth box I was completely cured. It would give me the
greatest pleasure could I be of any service to you ; but I fear it
is impossible, as it is a complrint one does not like to be known.
However, you can give my name what publicity you please.
4‘ With the utmost respect, believe me to be, dear Sir, your
much obliged servant, "JOHN HARDIE.
