Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers t Los origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source hn every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physi :al disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excess es. are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific s eurce of mischief; and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional :and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and constsq,uence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of axetater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to w kt.th it is subject.
This work contalinn an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Ph3rsi ology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conctit ions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of were impoi:tcnce than the preservation of the health,
and of the phys deal capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or fro at the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualifle d 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, he
forgets that accur ate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy With the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise Use intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who rs.n show by his posse•sion of the requisite legal
qualificatiens that h e is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LAWERT has Mit. ti ned the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the to eat extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his p. rofessional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatmte nt of these diseases.

AN UNPLEASANT Fix.—On Monday night week
four men went po aching upon the Brim Hall estate, in the
possession of Six John Gerard, when they were met by
one of the assisitant-keepers, who accosted them, but
was instantly seized by the brutes, and stuffed head fore-
most up a drain, after which they drove a stake so furi
ously down between his legs, that he could not get out
hie body being wedged fast in the drain. He remained
in this awkward", predicament for several hours, until he
was discovered by a man early in the morning, who
heard his mot, am, and got him out in an exhausted
state. The p eachere kayo not been apprehended.--
