THE SECOND EDITION OF

CONFESSIONS OF A THUG.
By Captain MEADOWS TAYLOR,

Author of " Tippoo Sultaun."
" The rich colouring of Oriental life, the varied manners of
the mixed population of India, joined to a very striking power
of local description, give a charm to this tale ; and the sombre
history of the miscreants, whose cruelty and artifice is drawn
from the life, is relieved by touches of singular truth and pa-
thos."—The Times.

APRACTICAL 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.:—let, The
cleansing, or detergent; 2dly, 'fhe 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.
Theinvalid 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.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent. sod
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the 'west
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
11Iessrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in saving that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &C., is truly convincing and extre-
We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown
melt' satisfactory.
.that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
hitherto the opprobria of medi-
ce°innes,ummal;t,iownheEnPtlak
iePesnYin&per.Oper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," Sze., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of thera.—Statesman.

nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.

INIPORTANT IMPROVENIENTS have been introduced
into LIFE ASSURANCE PRACTICE by thisCOMPANY.
The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUT-
ABLE, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misre-
presentation.
The Board of Directors satisfy themselves upon the va-
rious questions proposed before they enter into contracts of
assurance, and frame their policies in such terms as to pre-
clude all future questions as to their validity, and thus ren-
der them indisputable and negotiable uocuments of future debt
against the Company.
Parties may be assured either upon the participating or non-
participating plan ; the assured are relieved of all responsi-
bility, and the participating class is entitled to the whole of the
profits upon that branch of the business.

Copy of a Letter from the late Henry Cowper,
Esq., of Tewen.waters, Herts., to Mr. W. F. France, who is re.
siding at 22, Spring.gardens. "Tewen-waters, Herts., March 21,
1840. Sir, In justice to the Messrs. Solomons about the time men-
tioned in the extract of the advertisement which you have sent
me, I beg to inform you that I certainly did write to them to that
effect; before I possessed the Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers
I had been stone deaf. lam within two months of my 87th year,
and can still feel the comfort and benefit of the Sound Magnifiers
Invisible Voice Conductors. I am, Sir, your obedient ser.
vant, Henry Cowper."—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39,
Albemarle.strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and
76, King William-street, City, state that their newly-
invented Invisible Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers enables per.
sons at an advanced age, and of forty and fifty years' standing of
extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the
sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly. They are the
size of a very small gold seven.shilling piece, and when in the
cavity of the ears, they are not the least perceptible nor more un•
comfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place.
Messrs. Solomon,' newly-invented Spectacles, immediately they are
laced before imperfect vision, that mist and dullness which appears
before the eyes is at once removed, every object becoming dear and
distinct, so that the most aged defective eye-sight beatmes bright
and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori.
ginal state.
All the instruments formerly employed for re-
lieving deafness are now far superseded by the Voice Conductors,
invented by It. Solomons and Co., No. 36, Old Bond-street, and
No. 1, Ohl Jewry, City. From their ingenious and minute eon.
struction (being only a quarter of an inch in diameter) they cannot
I.4p&celved by the nearest bystander ; and while they enable deaf
persons to distinguish mixed and confused sounds, or the voice of
a distant speaker, they afford the most effectual relief to subjects
complaining of singing noises in the ear, and are altogether pro-
ductive of the most desirable results. Their Patent Spectacles
extend great relief to the visual organs, and from a combination of
properties which they possess, are vastly superior to those hitherto
employed. To such persons who closely apply their sight to read-
ing or any minute employment, but particularly by candle or lamp
light, they will be found of incalculable advantage. The highest
testimony to their superior merit is conveyed in the fact, that the
principal medical authorities in Europe use them, and strongly re-
commend their adoption to all persons who may require optical aid.
—N.B. In consequence of the various attempts to impose base
imitations on the public, and the Patentees being entire!), uncon.
nected with persons advertising under the same name, their sub-
joined address should be cautiously noted, No. 36, Old Bond.
street, and No. 1, Old Jewry.
