Marriage reqaires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
♦eil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abased, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
►he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery te the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying te a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyend the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse. sien of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost coafidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'IdEltT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
testify, and the great extent of hie practice for many years I■ a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

AN UNPLEASANT Fix.—On Monday night week
four men went poaching upon the Brin Hall estate, in the
possession of Sir John Gerard, when they were met by
one of the assistant-keepers, who accosted them, but
was instantly seized by the brutes, and stuffed head fore-
most up a drain, after which they drove a stake so furi
ously dow n between his legs, that he could not get out
his body being wedged fast in the drain. He remained
in this awkward predicament for several hours, until he
was discovered by a man early in the morning, who
heard his moans, and got him out in an exhausted
state. The poachers hare not been apprehended.—
