AnTHER ENLARGEMENT.

OF THE
WEEKLY DISPATCH.
This Journal at presen• the largest in exist mice —un-
ri for its early intelligence and urt..oinpronthius advocacy of
the Rights of Mankind—will be

ENLARGED,
(xi and after SUNDAY, the 7th of JINUARY, 1849, to
SIXTEEN PAGES,
CONTAINING
SIXTY-FOUR COLUMNS,
OP THE
SAME SIZE AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT

ANY EXTRA CHARGE.
By its zeal in the ( ause of progress, and its staunch derotien to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of ahus: e, and a powerfal auxiliary on behalf of the
Oppressed, who hi wi ongs will always meet with sympathy and
exposure.

Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Pol.tical 'Winer ce and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of

FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
And thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the powerfhl contributions of
" PUBLICOLA." " CAUSTIC," " CENSOMIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have over advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCII
Will next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
Ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
paid to them for the current number.
An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Mails, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from London may
receive it the same evening.
An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPArCH is published ever'',
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, containing news direct from Paris,
awl other parts of the Continent, up to eight o'clock on Saturday
Evening.
To prevent disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
RICHARD WOOD, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom l'ost•office
Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsyenders, in town
and 6ountry.

THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by
gentle relaxation, without griping or pr stration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, 'izziness, pains in the chest, &c., are
highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve langour and depression of spirits; while to those of full habit
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail to be appreciated.
This medicince has for many years received the approval of the
Most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
With
permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :

the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Service
Gazette.
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 careful investigation of its real 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 per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &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.
N.B. Hours of consultation from Eleven till Two, mad $Lz to
Eight in the Evening.

OVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but mere engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion. this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fttllllment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
Instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
[moneyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
!Idlest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,

illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe-
ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the higlvst medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.
