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
and 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 fur 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 in in-
vestigating the latent sources if many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whcrsin
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 ne member of society by whom 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 set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, cm 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, tabes, &c., the solo and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a }Arent, will,
by perusing this work, he directe I 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 whoop 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 dis-
astrous 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 minute 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 11., without which no notice
whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the
most inviolable secrecy may be relied mi.

ANE and ELIZA SIMPSON beg re-
spectfully to return their most grateful thanks to the
ability, Clergy, and Commercial Gentlemen in particular,
for the very decided preference which has been given to their
Hotel, since they succeeded to the business of their late parents,
and hope, by continued assiduity and attention to the comfort
of their guests, to merit that patronage which has hitherto
been so liberally bestowed.
J. and E. S. feel it their duty to caution those passengers
travelling by mail or stage-coach, who intend patronizing their
Hotel, that these conveyances now arrive at and depart from.
the Coach-office Gateway, (two doors from
the Hotel), and
unless they ask for Simpson 's Hotel, it is probable they may
be conducted to a lodg•ng-house aear the Gateway, which has
no connexion with their establishment.
An omnibus leaves the above Hotel for every Railway train,
and post-horses are always in attendance at the station.

M.ARYLEBONE GRAND REFORM

BANQUET.
The Reformers of this great metropolitan borough met.
yesterday at the Colosseum Theatre, Albany-street,
Regent's Park, for the purpose of celebrating the glo-
rious victory which was gained over the Tories and the
pseudo-reformers, by the return of Sir Benjamin Hall
and Sir Charles Napier. We have been informed that
the number of tickets issued was no more than 1,200 ;
but there were at least 1,500 persons in the area when
the time arrived for-taking the chair. The side boxes of
the theatre were filled with ladies, among whom were
recognized Lady Napier and Miss Napier, Lady Hall
and her daughters ; and they were greeted with the
most enthusiastic cheering. The Committee soon after-
wards came into the theatre, conducting the representa-
tives, Sir B. Hall and Sir C. Napier, and they were re
impossible -
ceived in a manner which it is to describe,
and which can only be compared to the reception of
Lord John Russell at the banquet in Guildhall.
At the extreme end of the room we observed a very
elegant portrait of the Commodore, published by Mr. N.
Fitzgerald, of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, sur-
mounted by a trophy, adorned by some splendid armour
and other appendages of war.
J. BAGSHAW, Esq., late Member of Parliament for
Sudbury, having been elected to the Chair, and Mr.
Churchwarden Houghton having been appointed to fill
the opposite seat as Vice-President,
Professor KEY read grace.
When the cloth was removed, " Non nobis Domine "
was sung by Messrs. Ransford, Robinson, Young, Ed-
ney, Nelson, and Jones.
The CHAIRMAN then said the greatest return he
could make for.the honour of placing him in that scat
was, to be as concise as possible in the few re-
marks which he had to make on that glorious oc-
easion.--(Leud and continued cheersi) Marylebone
was free.—(Tremendous cheering.) The thraldem:fhat
encompassed her before, was now entirely dissolved.—
(Cheers.) The electors had shown in the recent contest
that they were consistent and staunch politicians.--(Hear,
hear.) But they were now met to prove that they ware
also social fellows.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had
first to show what, heretofore, no Reformers dared to
show—a disinterested loyalty to the Sovereign.—(Loud
cheering.) He considered his station at the head of that
meeting as one of high honour ; but the dignity was
much enhanced by his having to propose the health of
her Most Gracious Majesty.—(Tumultuous cheering.)
Her Majesty had shown by all her acts that she
was the " Queen of the people.—(Most enthusias-
tic cheering.) She was in truth the Queen of
the people, and if the choice of the Sovereign were
left to the popular voice, the popular election would, of
course, fix the Crown upon her head.—(Cheering.) The
Hon. Chairman then concluded with proposing the health
of her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, with
three times three.
The toast was then drunk with the most vehement en-
thusiasm.

The Vice-Chairman, Mr. Churchwarden HOUGHTON,
proposed " one cheer more," which was given most voci-
ferously, the ladies in the boxes standing and waving
their handkerchiefs with as much ardour as if her Ma-
jesty were present to witness their loyalty and recognise
their homage.
The National Anthem, " God Save the Queen," was
then given in magnificent style, the whole compauy
lending their voices with the most hearty enthusiasm to
swell the chorus.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed, in a speech which
was most vehemently cheered, the health of " Prince
Albert and the Princess Royal."
The toast was drunk amidst the most enthusiastic
cheering ever witnessed at a convivial meeting.
The Hon. CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the
Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Kent, and the rest of
the Royal Fathily now residing in England. The toast
was drunkiwith.great fervour.
Glee—•' Hail smiling Morn."
The next toast was, " The Navy and Army of Great
Britain." It was drunk amidst the most enthusiastic
cheering and applause.
Mr. Ransford then sang the following song, which
*as rapturously encored :

THE LAUNCH OF THE TRAFALGAR.
Behold a huge and stately ship, how proudly does she stand!
Her giant sides seem not akin to aught upon the land.
Around the busy shipwrights fly,—their task is nearly o'er—
And soon that Mammoth form shall dash, in triumph from the

shore.
A thousand loyal British hearts, await with joy and pride,
To man the new-built man-of-war—to greet her as their

bride :
For still old England, on the deep, holds sov'reign sway afar,
And proudly keeps the name and fame she won at Trafalgar
She won at Trafalgar,
She won at Trafalgar ;
_
. _ .

And proudly keeps the name and fame she won at Trafalgar.
But oh ! what young and fearless form is that which gems the
scene?
Ten thousand glad and loud huzzas proclaim 'tis England's
Queen
She comes to name the mighty ship—fit task for such a hand ;I
May Heaven preserve her on theseas, to guard our native land.
And now they strike—away—away !
A mighty bound—a leap—hurrah ! hurrah I hurrah !
The ship is floating on the deep;
And welcome sounds upon the breezo are echoing afar,
For England's queen, Victoria, has named the 'Trafalgar
She has named the Trafalgar,
She has named the Trafalgar ;
For England's Queen, Victoria, has named the Ti afalgar

Oh soon with all her canvass spread and bending to the breeze,
She'll leave her island home to share its fame upon the seas,
And then her name shall proudly tell to many a distant shore,
That Britain's floating bulwarks prove as mighty as of yore; •
There's not a loyal British heart but owns with joy and pride
That Britain owes her splendour to the heroes of the tide ;
And History's page may proudly tell, in many a clime afar,
The name—the fame—brave Nelson won at glorious Tra-
falgar.
He won at Trafalgar,
He won at Trafalgar,
The name, the fame—brave Nelson won at glorious Trafalgar.
Admiral Sicipsox rose, and stood for several minutes
making a vain effort to return thanks, amidst tumultuous
shouts, of cheering, with which he was greeted. When we
could catch the words of the Gallant Officer, we under-
stood him to say that he happened to be one of the very
few naval officers present who could return thanks for
the high compliment paid to the service to which he had
the honour to belong.—(Great cheering.) He had
not had the honour to participate in those
glorious triumphs of British valour, in which his Gallant
Friend the Member for Marylebone had so signalised
himself.—(Tremendous cheering.) He had known his
Gallant Friend for many years, and he was convinced
that the Gallant Commodore would be always ready,
not only to fight for his country abroad, but to defend
its liberty at home.—(Great cheering.) There were
three great principles with which the liberties of the
country were identified. The first was, that every
man who contributed directly to the revenue should
have a voice in the appointment .of the persons
who held the public purse-strings.—(Great cheering.)
The duration of Parliaments ought to be shortened, in
order to render the representatives of the people more
frequently accountable to their constituents for the
manner in which they discharged their trust—(Cheers)
—and, moreover, he thought that every elector should
be protected by the Ballot.—(Renewed and repeated
cheering.) He would not occupy the meeting at any
length, but would conclude by returning his most
hearty thanks for the compliment paid to the Bri-
tish Navy, and expressing his conviction, that when-
ever it services should be required for the defence
of the country, it would be distinguished as it
had ever been heretofore, and as it sever could be with
greater glory than under the flag of the Gallant Officer
who was sent into Parliament to fight for the liberties of
his countrymen in the name of the electors of Marylc-
bone.—(The Gallant Admiral sat down amidst repeated
cheering and applause.)
General Sir DE LACY EVANS next presented himself
to the meeting. He made some observations which were
totally inaudible amidst the din of cheers and applause
with which he was received. At length the Gallant Officer
was permitted to yield to the wishes of the assembly, and
to stand upon the table in front of the Chair, when he
said that he merely proposed to express his grateful
thanks for the honour done to the profession of which he
was an humble member. He could assure the electors
of Marylebone that it gave him great gratification to
find himself preceded by a Gallant Officer in another de-
partment of the public service, who had acquired addi-
tional honours in the estimation of his fellow-citizens,
beyond those of his• grey hairs, by his sound political
opinions.—(Cheers.) He had frequently felt surprised that
the army and navy should be toasted at convivial meetings
for although they were composed of as large a majority
of soldiers and sailors as any country in the world could
boast of they did not comprise a majority of good Re-
formers.—(Cheers and laughter.) It was true, how-
ever,
that Marylebone had selected for her representa-
tive the first sailor in the British navy.—(Great cheer-
ing.) He had been the intimate acquaintance of that
Gallant Officer (Commodore Napier) for thirty years,
and he could undertake to say that he would prove as
honest and straightforward a Reformer as he had already
shown himself a brave and invincible British sea-
man.—(Tremendous cheering.) He had now only
to recommend the Reformers of Marylebone to learn
by the example of Westminster.—(Cheers, and great
laughter.) He begged of them not to rely too sanguinely
upon their strength—(Hear, hear)—but to make every
preparation for a future struggle, by conciliating all dif-
ference amongst themselves, and securing the registry.
The Gallant Officer sat down amidst repeated and con-
tinued cheering.
Mr. Churchwarden HOUGHTON, (the Vice-Chairman)
said, it had just happened for the first time since the .
creation of the world, that a Government had stood for..
ward and placed itself between the oppressors 'and the
oppressed—{Vehement cheering)—between the Angel
of Destruction and the Doomed.—(Loud cheers)
Yes, the Ministers of the Queen had stepped in between
the aristocracy and the humble classes—they had stayed
the uplifted hand,' and had said, " You shall strike no
more."—(Cheers.) It was the health of that Ministry
he had to propose.—(Renewed cheers.) They had come
forward to say that they would no longer sustain those
protecting laws, which were only the protection of the
the lamb —of the rich against the
wolf against
poor—of the idle against the industrious.—(Tremendous
cheering.) Ministers must have seen that they
I could not long remain as they were ' • and that glorious
woman.---(Entlinsiastic cheering)—the noblest woman
of the age---(Repeated cheering)—mustknown

PRICE 5c

that she would be separated from the Ministers of her
confidence, and from the friends of her youth.—
(Hear, hear.) He stood up to propose the health of
the Ministers, and he did not think that he was out
of ordar in speaking of their measures.—{Hear, hear.)
'The great object of those measures was to protect the
few against the many.—(Hear, hear.) But they
were very soon to be no longer Ministers, but to be fol-
lowf.id by those who had long shown that they regarded
only place and pelf.—(Cheers.) If the people would only
Ca it an eye over the acts of the Ministers, from the
First Lord of the Treasury downwards, they would see
liow wide was the difference between them and the per-
sons who were to succeed them.—(Cheers.) In 1831,
Lord Ashuurton told Lord Palmerston that he could not
maintain peace for four years. But he had maintained
peace, with power and credit to this country, for ten
years, and with advantage to all mankind.—(Great
cheering.) Where could there be found men more dis-
tinguished in every department of literature and science
than the present Ministers ? (Hear, hear, hear.)
Look to Lord John Russell, who was descended
from a family who always regarded the de-
fence of civil and religious liberty as their
first duty, and of that family duty Lord John
Russell had ever been a most religious observer.—
(Great cheering). Whatever the Ministers attempted
for the good of the people, the landowners stepped in
and prevented.—(Hear, hear). They would allow seed
and oil cakes for their cattle to be imported at a low
duty—(cheers)--t'aey would allow the Dutch to have the
fat of the cattle, •and the Flemings to have the suet—
(Laugh (Laughter) and they would allow the bones to
be importrili into this country for manure.
(Cheers an
.t laughter.) But they would not allow the
people to, have the meat.—(Cheers.) He concluded
amidst .eepeated and vociferous cheering, by proposing
Thy, health of her Majesty's Ministers."
:11hellon. Colonel Fox then rose, and was greeted
w ith the heartiest applause and cheering. He said it had
fallen to his happy lot to answer the toast which had been
just proposed so ably and kindly, that he wished Lord
John Russell himself had been in that room to hear
it.—(Tremendous cheering.) Perhaps the greatest
praise to which the Ministers were entitled was the fact,
of which he felt most proud, that he now was surrounded
by a body of electors, who would not have been electors
bnt for them—(Hear)—and who would, he hoped, con-
tinue to exercise the franchise when those Ministers who
conferred it on them were forgotten.—(Cheers, and cries
of " No, no.") He thought the Ministers had doneall
they could to carry out the principles of Reform. By
some they were urged to go further than was possible,
and in effecting reform and retrenchment they were
impeded by those who taunted them with not re-
trenching enough.—(Hear, hear.) He didnot think it
was much to be deplored that even a Liberal Ministry
sl-Aould be put out of office. It was not desirable that
one set of men should remain in power a long time ; for
it was natural that they should become indolent and
careless, and require to be spurred on.—(Loud cheers.)
In opposition they would be better organised, and would
come into office better prepared to effect good for the
people.--(Cheers.) He was glad that whilst in power
they had called into political existence a borough such
as Marylebone, that had proved itself so well worthy of
the privilege it possessed.--(Cheers.)
The health of her Majesty's Ministers was then drunk
with three times three, and great applause. Song—
" Happy land."

TheCHamistaat then proposed the health of the re-
presentatives of the borough, " Sir Benjamin Hall and
Sir C. Napier," which was drunk amidst tremendous
cheering.
Sir BENJAMIN HILL, who for a considerable time
could not obtain a hearing amidst the tumultuous cheer-
ing with which he was greeted, said that the proud po-
sition in which the electors had placed him was a sans-
factory proof that they had approved of his conduct.—
(Cheers.) The last time that theatre was occupied as
the scene of a political triumph it was so occupied by the
friends of a Noble Lord who now no longer represented
in Parliament that party which would never again Lend
to Parliament a Member for Marylebone.—(Cheers.)
The present, however, was not the occasion to enter
upon general political discussions when they were met
for purposes of conviviality, and he would only say that
he felt they had again appointed him their representa-
tive, because they knew he had served them honestly.
He had hoped that the glorious result of the Maryle-
bone election would have given a tone to the other Me-
tropolitan districts, and that they would not have seen
London disgrace herself as she had done. However, it
was some consolation that there were enough electors
found who had the spirit to return the Noble Lord who
was the chief organ of the Government in bringing for-
ward the Liberal measures which had for a time been
repudiated by the country. No one more regretted the
present aspect of political affairs than he did, and if he
were asked, " Did the present House of Commons re-
present the feelings of the people ?—(Laughter)--he
would most distinctly answer in the negative.—(Cheers.)
Even after the most gross bribery and intimidation
of all kinds, which had been almost openly practised,
still upon the borough constituents there was a
majority in favour of the Liberal cause.--(Cheers.) But
when they came to look at the counties, how different
was the position : but how could any one say that the
representatives of the counties were anything but the
representatives of the large landed aristocracy ?
(Cheers.) The candidate for a county might nominally
canvass the farmers, but was not his first question,
how many farmers above 50/. rent has my Lord so and
so ?—(Cheers and laughter.) Now was the time for the
people to come forward and back those who were their
real representatives in the House of Commons.—
(Cheers, and cries of " The Ballot.") It was needless
for him to say one word respecting the Ballot, because
on every occasion on which it had been brought for-
ward in the House he had voted for it—(Cheers)—
because he was firmly of opinion that the franchise should
be free.—(Cheers.) As there were many to follow him,
he would not detain them long—indeed it was unneces-
sary, after the repeated meetings he had had with them
before the election, when he fully explained himself
upon general topics. He would, hoivever, say that he
felt deeply grateful for the honour they had conferred
upon him. He had long watched their exertions, which
had been honestly and freely exercised in any question
involving the rights and liberties of the people, Their
exertions would 'rove a stimulus to him to fight on their
behalf, and for the extension of their liberties.—
(Cheers.) As it regarded himself it mattered not whe-
ther he sat on the Ministerial or the Opposition side of
the House—(Cheers)—but wherever he was placed, he
trusted he would always act in such a manner as that he
might present himself before them with a clear con-
science.—(Loud cheers.)
Commodore NAPIER, M.P., then get upon the table
mid was received with nine times nine and one cheer
more. He had had the honour of appearing before
them a great many times at public meetings, but that
was the first time he had met them upon a convivial oc-
casion, and he could assure them that it was the most
pleasant meeting he had ever attended in the whole
course of his life. They were all aware of the turn
which the elections had taken, but that only showed
that there was more honour due to Marylebone for coming
forward with the noble zeal and perseverance she had
done for the support of her Majesty. He
was given to understand that the Tories said he was to
give up his seat to make way for Lord Morpeth.—
(Laugh ter.) All he would say was, that if the Noble
Lord stood up until he gave him a seat, he must stand
for a very long while.—(Laughter.) He had the honour
of coming forward to ask for their suffrages,—he was
asked what step he would take, in the event of his being
called upon to go upon the foreign service of his country
—he would now repeat what he had said then, that no-
thing on earth would ever make him give up the honour
of representing them, unless the service of their common
country required that he should leave them—(Applause)
—and, before leaving them in such a case, lie would come
before the constituency, and ask whether he had aban-
doned any one principle he had professed or not.
They were now about to take leave of their old friends,
the present Ministers. He regretted it from the bottom
of his heart, because, with all their faults, they were
the best set of Ministers which had ever governed the
country.—(Loud cheers.) They were old servants, and
they must not judge them harshly—(Cheers)—for they
had had great difficulties to contend with. When they
came into office they had a constitutional—a Reform
King ; but, unfortunately, after a time, he changed his
politics and became a Tory. That was a great difficulty ;
but it was not the only one, for they were left in the
lurch by Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham—(Loud
groaning, and . cries of " Traitors," during which the
Gallant Commodore drank a glass of wine and took a
pinch of snuff, which put the meeting again into good-
humour.) In addition to that, by some mismanage-
ment, of which he was entirely ignorant, they lost
Lord Grey, and again, by the accession of the title of
Earl Spencer, they also lost Lord Althorp, and
upon that occasion his Majesty thought proper
to select a Tory Government. Well, that Government
lasted one month, being beat upon all occasions. Again
the 'present Government came in, and they proposed a
noble measure, the Appropriation Clause.—(Cheers.)
He was sorry they ever abandoned it—(Cheers)—for
had they gone out upon it, and tacked to it the question
of the Ballot—(Loud cheering)--and free trade princi-
