On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Edsay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
Llow health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfeet digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years andt en."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of hur.san disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
To be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalhe, 147,
Fleet-street; Hannay, 63, Oxford. street; Mann, 39, Cornhill; or
direct from the Author, 10, Argyle-place, Regent-street (leading to

FRANKS on URINO-GENITAL DISEASES.
Part I. On Gonorrhea and Gleet, exemplifying the influence

NOTICES 010 THE PRESS.
From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will ho '
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between irritative' and `lnflammatory' action in
determining, the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact. but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which aro not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
Front Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and slfely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.
