WATCHES by WEBSTER and SON,
CHRONOMETER and WA TCFI MANUFAC-
TURERS (Established 130 years), 3, BIRCHIN-L A NE.
The finest description of WATCHES at the lowest prices
consistent with maintaining that character for superiority of
workmanship which has distinguished their establishment dur-
ing so long a period. The Compensated Duplex Watch, upon
the principle of their Chronometers, to which Government
awarded the prizes three years in succession, combines the most
perfect accuracy wit'a the utmost elegance, and is not surpassed
by the Pocket Chronometer. Webster's newly-introduced Cen-
tre Seconds, for the medical profession, elegant and novel in
appearance. The Patent Detached Lever Watch is manufac-
tured with extreme care, and equally reduced in price with
the small Horizontal for Ladies. Old Watches taken in ex-
change. A selection of fine Second-hand Repeating, Duplex.
Lever, and Horizontal Watches, by the most eminent makers, at
little above half the original cost, and nearly equal to New.
The finest workmen are engaged on the premises, in the examin-
ink and repairing departments, and the utmost attention is de-
voted, at the lowest charge, to English and foreign work. Post
letters promptly attended to.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of as
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praeticea„, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention, to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practicei, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitatioti in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the boik"
will not be found useful, whether such person 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 conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, 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, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it 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

PARIt'S LIFE PILLS.
Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this
extraordinary Medicine.
SECOND LETTER FROM MR. OSBORNE.

" Gentlemen,—l write to inform you that I have returned
on foot from Liverpool, and many of my old friends here are
indeed astonished at any altered appearance and activity. I
must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Mr. W. J.
Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to
life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their
effects on him have, if possible, been even more miraculous than
on myself. He had suffered from a most distressing asthma,
cough, &c., for above seven years, but, after using one box at
2s. 9d., is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of
his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so
diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by
new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many who
have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have
ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I:continue
to enjoy the best of health and spirits, and am yours very re-
spectfully, JOHN OSBORNE,

charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors.
