In a sealed Envelope.—This day is published,
A PRACTICAL and POPULAR TREA-
TISE, adapted and written expressly for the USE of
the NON-MEDICAL READER, pointing out a successful
and never-failing mode of effectually Curing those dire Dis-
eases depicted in the works of Drs. Tissot, Solomon, Jordan,
Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE,
Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.
This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department. and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

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
aed 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 for 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 i n in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, 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 e horn the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
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 vet down to the score of con.:
sumption, will, on 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,
heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habi, s practised by
youth moth 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 directed 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 labyrinth, 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-
estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.
Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in
the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint,
the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in
life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by
the usual Consultation Fee of 1/., without which no notice
whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases. the
most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

THE WHIG SPEAKER.—Mr. Lefevre may be
fairly regarded as a very fortunate man. He is now Speaker
for life, or at least for as many years as he may think proper
to occupy the Chair, since the same feelings which have pre-
vented the Conservatives from opposing him upon the present
occasion, will probably exempt him from all danger of disturb-
ance in his county, wi.ere it is pretty well understood that
the Duke of Wellington might have turned him out at the
last election, if he had pleased. Six thousand a year, with
the representation of Hampshire, and the rank f the
first commoner in the land, are not things that fall to
the lot of many private gentlemen, without high con-
nexions, or talents of a very commanding order—but
just as little do they fall to the lot of any man, unless
there be great merit in the individual to justify the
choice. Mr. Lefevre may not be a Fox. or a Burke,
but he is a man of peculiarly good sense, good temper, good
manners, and good taste, with a peif,Tt knowledge of the du-
ties of his office—a very prepossessing persm—and, as a neces-
sary consequence of all these things, has a great moral intluerve
over those with whom he has to deal. The best proof of his
merit is, that no man has so few enemies, and so many friends ;
and though this may sometimes be she result of negative qua-
lities in private life, it seldom is so in public life when a man has
to exercise authority over others which it is always difficult to
assert without offence.—Herts Reformer.
