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

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
' With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contellts:—How to ensure -perfect 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 and ten."
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, far they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understand ought to' lnlOw, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition herebyoffered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human 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
statesdepend, 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 5f 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, arid the 'avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—hls accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTICES or THE PRESS.
From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between ' irritative' and inflammatory' 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 shots, 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 are 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."
From Bell's Life hi London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off aaspeedily and safely 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."

"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.

DISTRESSIUG AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT APEDALE
CowznY.—One of those awful casualties, so frequent in
mining districts, occurred at Apedale on Monday last. It
appears that the pit No. 1 (Sladdershill) has, for some time
past, been considered dangerous, and great care has con-
stantly been used before the men were allowed to go down

and commence their day's labour. That these precau-
ions have not been uncalled for, and that they have had
their due effect, will be gathered from the fact of this being
the first fatal accident that has ever taken place in the pit.
On Monday morning a number of men went to the pit,
headed by Daniel Kelsall, a turnsman, who being a sober
steady person was much trusted. Kelsall had been in the
habit of depositing his safely lamp at a certain point in the
pit, sufficiently removed from the foul air to be considered
safe. The current of foul air is directed into certain
channels by means of drop-sheets ; but, on the morning
in question, the drop-sheeps were not suspended as usual,
the foul air had passed the point, and no sooner did
poor Kelsall approach the part with a naked candle—in
order to get the safety lamp—than an explosion took place.
Kelsall and a companion named Lightfoot were killed on
the spot, and three other colliers were severely burned.
There were about thirty men and boys in the pit at the
time, besides others descending, when the explosion took
place. The rush of air to the mouth of the pit was so great
that the party descending had the greatest difficulty in
keeping their places; their hats were blown off their heads,
and conveyed a distance of twenty yards up the shaft. On
searching the pit to ascertain the extent of the accident,
Kelsall and. Lightfoot were discovered quite dead ; the
latter had both legs broken, and was otherwise dreadfully
mutilated, having been blown upwards of forty yards. The
accident is wholly attributable to the absence of the safety
lamp, and the neglect in not putting down the drop-sheets.
We regret to hear that each of the sufferers has left a
widow with four young children, and that both the women
are at.the present time enceinte. An inquest was held on
the bodies last Tuesday, at the Robin Hood, Roggin-row,
before W. Harding, Esq., coroner, when a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts was returned. Staffordshire
Mercury.
A LARGE RAT.—While Sergeant Bennett and police-
man Jones were on their beat in High-street, on Monday
night, they observed a rat of a large size, and ferocious ap-
pearance. On receiving a blow from the officer's club it
" showed fight," making several attempts to jump at
him. It was killed by a few additional blows. On being
weighed, it was found to be nearly four pounds, and
measured 18 inches from the snout to the tip of the tail.—
