BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak ear,
Tork,

" T• M. Th•mas Prout,

" 14th June, 1147.

" Sta,—Having suffered meet dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
trY a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
♦cry much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
*MY. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
The box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
retrieved the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
ha'ee suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and t"ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
• my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your
Wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
Valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
trivariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
'Mal part:

LOVE 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,
an more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
48 influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
-I°PhY, 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
*Your, 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. llow is it that men, of most un-
..enanteable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
ufte spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap tho very con-
tr. act asunder which should be most binding to an honoirable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
jihabits,,„_ or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
u.sq. uallfted, and dares not enter a state which has been
Matituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
kends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
'VW 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
"all•Yed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fhllest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.

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 highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
Mont of these diseases.
aiviaw OF Till WORK.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these tke result is ever disastrous. Happy the
Mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
lute which such scenes must plunge him In the book before is
suck a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one Idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
Propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
Pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended With the practical advice of a writer on medicine."
