METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the
CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRHEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cute of
Which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them-
*elves of his professional assistance, rather than place them-
. selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have recourse
to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily ad-
vertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his
own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now on
opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment
that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
tihat wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all
2rtas of these diseases, without regard to tkese essential
particulars.
Apply at 42, Great Marlborough-street, Regent-street,
from Eight to Ten in the Morning, and from Seven to Nine
in the Evening. On Sundays in the Morning, but not in the
Oi Evening.

EAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresv 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 mer-
"rYi and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
sstorrhcea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preya-
ent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. cola rge a share cf public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, 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 corresponded with until
teeovered.
