MRS. ELLIS'S NEW WORK.
MRS. ELLIS begs to inform her friends and
the public, that she is preparing a NEW WORK, now
being published in Numbers, and entitled " SOCIAL DISTINC-
TION ; or HEARTS AND HOMES."
The advertisement and issue of a serial work, described as a new
work, and designated " Fire-side Tales for the Young," was entirely
without her sanction. She never wrote any work under such title;
and that which certain parties have announced, instead of being a
new work, is only a re-issue of articles which appeared in volumes
of the "Juvenile Scrap Book."

" ' Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little work will serve as a beacon to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their passions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of tempts•
bion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chronicle
" ' Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis, and Co.—Their long experience
and reputation in the treatment of these paint ul diseases is the
patient's guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cir-
culation."—Era.
" Curtis on Manhood' should be In the hands of youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written, and developes the
reatment of a class of painful 'maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing,"— United Service
Gazette.

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and last
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.
