This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to .result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source.
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
1 of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the eases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it 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 directe I and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labs rinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes 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 two-fold 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 the d.s-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

BRIGHTON, JULY 26.—Yest erday on the arri-
val of the passengers by the first railroad coaches, a
report was spread that a shockin° accident had occurred
to one of the red vans (Pocock: s) from London, and it
was said the driver and guard were almost killed, and the
passengers, three or four of whom came on by the rail-
road train, much injured. It appeared that the van, which
is the only night conveyance to Brighton, left at the usual
time laden with about seven tons of luggage and eight
passengers. On proceeding down Reigate-hill the skid
was put on the wheels, when the van, which was groan-
ino• under the immense weight, broke down, crushing the
wheels and falling on one side. The driver and guard
saved themselves by jumping off, but met with several se-
vere injuries. The passengers, inside and out, were dread-
fully injured by the heavy boxes, &c., in which they were
literally buried. On extricating them, one, an elderly gen-
tleman residing at Reigate, and who had adopted the con-
veyance to get home the same night, was at first thought to
have been killed on the spot, bat was found only to have
been stunned. Another had his head cut and bruised ;
a third the calf of his leg extensively injured; in fact,
none escaped without severe injuries. The gentleman
who lived at Reigate, after he. had recovered,
very kindly offered his house for the accommodation
of his fellow-passengers, and took charge of a young man
who was seriously ill, and who was proceeding to Brighton
for a change.of air. As soon as the passengers were re-
leased from their perilous situation assistance was pro-
cured, and as it was impossible to move the vehicle, it
was necessary to dig out under the lamp, which it was
feared would set it on fire. Vans were forwarded in the
course of the day to bring the luggage to Brighton,
amongst which were two tons of salmon, the non-arrival
of which spoiled the dinner of numbers of individuals.
It is rather singular that another of the red, vans broke
down at the same place the previous night.
