One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
T-itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form aa item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
eeglect wound -,ore sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
AEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
Together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
ey post Is. 6d.) called " What to Bat, Drink, and
,avoid," and " flow to be Happy." They are not merely
aamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
an the " sunny side of the way." ,The• above works may be had of

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,
he 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.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how mazy could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the 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 the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reia ror tive Organs, and of
inleaelhtdh

be of more importance than the preservation

of the health

man should
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether the unhappy
in early life or from the follies of advanced age,, ~ acquired
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains' aafeaarriag
ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints dear'
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, heg
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava_
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession 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'AIERT has obtained the highest medical honou
