Thu Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
twos, which far some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the o; dinary practitioner. To 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,
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, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, 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
re:il 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 temperarilv, at least
the relation and tesponsibility 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 ultina..tely the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will hero 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 cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at mace
concentrated the twofold 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
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.

To OOLOO'S CHINESE CEMENT.—The
extraordinary properties of this Composition make it one
of the most useful articles ever presented to the public. It is
perfectly impervious to hot or cold water, and will resist the
effects of the most intense heat. So tenacious and firm is it
in its hold, that a new fracture is almost certain to take place
rather than a severance in the origina'.. Thus its utility sur-
passes all other cements for the fixing and met.ding of china,
glas, and ivory, the setting of stones and beads in rings and
trinkets, &c.

SUDDEN DEATII OF A GENTLEMAN.—About
four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Miller, of 22,
Grosvenor-street West, was in the act of getting out of an
omnibus et the corner of Wilton-place, when he fell into
the conductor's arms in a senseless state. The old gentle-
man, who was nearly 70
years of age, was directly taken
to his residence, and was attended upon by Dr. Jones, of
Wilton-place, but the unfortunate gentleman never rallied,
and died the same night.
