The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class •f diseases and affec-
tions, which e'er some unaccountable reason have keen either
altogeiner overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the e• dinary practitioner. Ti enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will net be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

EASE, in its mild and most alarming forms, just published by
Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, 4, Great Charles-street,
Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds.
The above invaluable little work is given gratis with each
box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price
2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and I Is., containing a full description of the
above complaint, illustrated by Engravings, showing the dif-
ferent stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease, as well
as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of Mercury.
The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea,
Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c , are explained
to a fomiliar manner ; to which are added very extensive prac-
tical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive
habit, all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole
illustrated by striking cases, accompanied with full and explicit
directions fur an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy,
and safety, without the aid of mcdicial assistance; it also con-
tains many hints and advice well worth knowing.
PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d.,
4s 6d., and I Is. per box, is the mos' certain and effectual cure
ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal
Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se-
condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency,
and aU Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time,
confinement, or hindrance from business; they have effected
the most surin icing cures, not only in recent and severe cases,
but when salivation and all other means have failed.

It is a melancholy tact that thousands fall victims to this
horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con-
stitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body,
dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate glects,
nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose,
with nocturnal pins in the head and limbs, till, at length, a
general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me-
ancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.
Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted at No.
4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street,
Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a country
patient, to give such advice as will he the means of effecting a
permanent and effectul cure, after all other means have proved
ineffectual. _

Letters for advice must be post. paid, and contain the usual
fee of one pound.

PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended
to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of
their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to
the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with
any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the
various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, invo-
luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, olrtructions of certain
evacuations, weakness, total incompetency, barrenness, &c. A
perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the d.gestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen
into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of
symptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per-
sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal
powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without
interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

A MASONIC EMBLEM.--A masonic emblem
with with an inscription in Persian round it,
the the
has been four .d in a stone wall at Ghuznee. It is merely
five
points,
of which inscription is " God grant me
translationwhat I want." During our campaign through Affghanis-
tan, a strong resemblance to the customs, dress, and man-
ners of the ancient Jews, was very prevalent among the
Affghans. Indeed, at Candabar, they acknowledged their
direct descent, and called themselves " The children of
the Jews." No doubt, many more masonic emblems might
be traced, and if due examination were made, we should
probably elicit those scintillations, embers of the masonic
light itself, which might be enkindled into pristino power
and beauty,—Freemasons' Qudificriil.
