AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR,
with REMARKS on the VARIOUS INCIDENTS
which have occurred during FORTY-FIVE, YEARS of his
LIFE, and a FULL DESCRIPTION of his MODE of
TREATING DISEASES, with REASONS EX PL ANA.
TORY of HIS SYSTEM.

By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE,
Medical Flerbalist, Author of " Random Reflections en In-
digestion, Gout, Tenia Capitis, Scarlet Fever," &c. &c.
" Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a
wooden spoon iu their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and
industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour-
neyman baker, but every intermission (rota the labour ef the knead-
ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any
man who makes such unceasing efforts as ho has done to allevia e
the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."—
Times, Nov. 3.

" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, atu: showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success.
The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accorn
plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written is a cheer ful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating sense of these
diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has
added reas•ins explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may
read."—The Sun, Nov. 5.

" Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Bu.chell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature * * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, nd most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.

no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the 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, en 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, hart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much 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 ten 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
rums. him through
the intricate mazes of this moral s
labri
'nth and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health' should appear to
attack any of his young .
charges,
what the real
iniroper time. He will here find clue to .
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 those habits, to which
'youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outs he
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
nut relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as rninnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, tho symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
1 communication must be accompanied by the "usual Consults-
I tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be

secrecy may be relied on.

Notice is hereby given, that the THIRD GENERAL
ANNUAL MEETING of the SOCIETY will be held in
the Black Bull Hotel, Argyll-street, Glasgow, en Friday, the
Bth day of January next, at Three o'Clock, in terms of, and for
the purposes specified in, the Articles of Constitution, when
a full attendance of Members is requested.
The Directors again take opportunity to congratulate all
connected with this Society on the very prosperous state of its
affairs. Since .last Anniversary the number of Ordinary
Members has greatly increased ; and the claims upon it having
been extremely light, its funds have accumulated to such an
amount as to ensure its stability, and completely secure the
objects for which it was instituted.
Originally formed by a few Commercial Men travelling in, or
connected with, the Trade of Scotland, for the two-fold pur-
pose of affording mutual and honourable assistance in case of
Sickness, and promoting a more intimate feeling of brotherhood
among their numerous bode, the Society has met with general
and cordial support, and bids fair to become a leading Institu-
tion of the country. Already it numbers not only a great majo-
rity of the Travellers from Glasgow and the vicinity, but many
of the most respectable from London and other places in Eng-
land ; and its benefits having lately been extended to all en
gaged in Commercial pursuits, whether they may have tra-
velled or not, many employed at home have taken advantage
of the opening and become Members.
The Tables of the Society are framed from the most recent
data, upon principles which cannot err, and require only to be
impartially examined to convince of the soundness of its basis.
Alter transaction of the business of the Meeting, the Mem-
bers and Friends of the Society will DINE in the Black Bull

Elect, in the Chair.
