Semper nocuit differe paratis."—L c AN.
THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full of
embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their
physical imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror
of exposure accumulate in the morbid imagination, while in-
creasing disease augments the suffering of the body and the
irritability of the mind. Sensible of the anguish thus pro-
tracted, we have adopted $ system which long practical expe-
rience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes
the absolute necessity of personal communication with those
who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable
og to treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been
the peculiar nature of our practice, embrac►ng every variety of
difficult circumstances, that the most timid may feel encourage-
Ment in the opportunity thus afforded them.
Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the con-
stitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a
restoration to health, without any interference with the ordinary
diet and habits.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every
day, at their residence ; and Patients in the remotest parts of
the country, can be treated successfully on their describing
minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Advice and
Medicine. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be
securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM
is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo-
derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu-
tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable
• state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that
• betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys.
• tom, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im-
potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not
confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has
received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un.
prolific frame ; the delicate female, whom an immured and in-
active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other
weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers,
brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive
habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un-
timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men
or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative.
Old coughs, a.tlimas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved,
and speedily curet. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will.
ere long. meet the happiest change the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh,
firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis-
orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended
to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of
studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a
despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp-
toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the
- mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to
them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with
domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

bion-street, Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a
country patient, to enable Messrs. Perry and Co.' to give such

fectual cure, after all other means have proved ineffectual.

r restraint of diet, and are the most safe, speedy, pleasant, and

gravings, showing the different stages of this deplorable and
often fatal disease, as well as the dreadful consequences arising
from the use of mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful
.effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Wea-
kness, &c., are explained in a familiar manner ; to which are
added very extensive practical observations on sexual debility,
brought on by a delusive habit; all its attendant sympathies
considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accom-
panied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and
speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of
medical assistance; it also contains many hints, and advice well
worth knowing.
