THE attentive observer, who is mindful of the
duties of life, and sincerely desirous that all persons
shall, in the most creditable manner, acquit themselves of their
various obligations, perceives with regret that considerable
numbers are pursuing a course which, if persevered in, must
inevitably cause their destruction. The deplorable effects re-
sulting from the bad example which prevails, should excite
our utmost vigilance to guard against its baneful influence ; as,
when a pestilence rages, we naturally seek preservations to
avoid the contagion, we should be at least equally solicitous in
our present state, having the most cogent motives to animate
our exertions. It is presumed none can be ignorant of the
statements frequently made by Mr. FARRELL in the columns
of this Paper, which he deemed to be his duty to publish, as,
in order to protect the rights of the people at large, it is neces-
sary to attend to each individual ease, and, as the facts men-
tioned by him are incontrovertible, he shall now refer to cur-
rent rumours of some kind of proceedings having been taken
respecting him, and he positively asserts that nothing of the
kind has occurred, to his knowledge, nor has any members of
the law profession received any instructions from him to act
in
his behalf. If anything of this sort has happened, he conceives
that all the parties concerned arc guilty of high treason, in
presuming to interfere in the subject's just rights. He should
not have noticed these reports, but the innumerable proofs of
malice which he has experienced snakes that seem probable
which otherwise be would conceive to be incredible.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER -LANF,
CHEAPSIDE, 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 secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to conflitment 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-
eury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated 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 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
recovered.
