The object of this Association is totally to abolish the Vs of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the ZS and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced its
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the titter im-
possibility in innumerable arses of cleansing a chimney or rise with
the old machine. For the lendable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity fur its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoreur machine has been invented. Tills
Invention consista of four brushes forming a cellar. he'la, which
by meats of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine reeves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all leer sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brash are supplied at intervals iswith
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is sumouatedr• with e doable revolving bolt, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certaiaty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
Perfectly. The capabaitiet of this machine are best demonstrated
by the tact, that it Is exc:usively used in the Government and
while the patrcmage bestowed by a large
numerous public offices,
umber of tact nobility and gentry in eantinutug their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philaathropie views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model cf tke machine seem at the

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which corers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses aro always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the orolifis source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
be nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of tke
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject cal
be of more inaeortance than the preservation of the health,
aid of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it CO.ll be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination.. a ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lova-
rid.bly characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hi:. possevsion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases. _

In One half the word are desolately single, and the other

bitter the latter. The solitary one may :inletd himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosiag harry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
