THE ECCENTRIC SNUFF•
TAKER.

Coopers' Arms,
BriNittroorli..l
Should trade be dull and times go rough,
Oh, give me then a pinch of snuff;
Give me my box a pinch to take,
E'en when I'm plcas'd for pleasure's sake.
When fortune's frowns disturb my mind,
And friends appear to grow unkind ;
Belief I seek within my box,
Div system is quite orthodox.
When a true friend perchance I meet,
I cheerfully his person greet,
A hearty " Flow do sou do ?" takes place,
When, lo! my snuff-box shows its faze.
My pulveriforous box supplies
A recipe for weakly eyes;
That mats ny:st be a silly goose
Who thoughtlessly condemns its use.
If my proboscis could but speak,i
'Twould often say—the dose repeat;
Each grateful sneeze and tittilation
Excites a frequent iteration.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ordinary practitioner. T. 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,
which delicacy forbids us to name, 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 not be found interesting, whether we consider such
person to 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 consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
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, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than 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 concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
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
aqack any of his young charges, what th e real cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose !acre character, is at once
concentrated the twofold relation cf parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
vonth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if I
not relinquished.
The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor-
mation pectiliarly.interesting to those members of society wio.
from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un-
able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on
them in the ordinary course of life.
