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 -innueed-ro—perub.
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 and
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 most
frightful maladies,to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. 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 aseries 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 saying 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-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper 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," &c., 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 them.—Statesman.

their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac-
companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which,
no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in
all eases the most inviolable secresy may be relied on.

DOUBLEIPATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
granted to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci-
entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot overflow, whatever may be the change of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or...other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for four or six months.
PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.
This Ink has a flowing property peculiar to itself, and does
not corrode Metallic Pens as other Inks.—ln Bottles, 6d., Is.,
and 2s. each
