The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
Climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. Fer the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
mimes and effective Ramoneur machine has been iavented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
Universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every center, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prespectdies
May be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, lairchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the
principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
Weil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
sztd its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications
.and their attendant disap-
Pointments. Excesses are always urious ; the becomes, when
used In moderation is fraught with advantage, , when
abused, the prolific scarce of miichief, and of greater or less Injury
to the cotlstltutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature
teed consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productlYo
of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any othei to which it is subject.
This work e:lnitins an accurate and complete account of
Anatomy and riayOology of the Reproductive Organs,unt
on
their relative coxiitlOns in health and disease. It deservedly
Toquires the closet attention and study, for what sinjehcoacltah
De of more importance than the preservation of the

td of the physical
veeictipmossessed. - it
of excessive indulg gapabilities of which every man should
,
tint,'lrtunately happens that the unhappy
'nee and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable conseqa laces, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
Plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously en tertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike r, 'strict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where Merle it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer,. and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent an d practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse.sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profee-
atonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of his fritetice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experieres, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
