The object of this Alsociation. is totally to abolish the Ilse of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victo-ja, cap. 85,
are continually re..orted to. This breach o the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the pohlic, from a conviction of the utter im-
possicility In innunieratOe cases of cieausihg a chimney or fide with
the old machine. For tie laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Itaiiioneur machine has been invented. This
Invention consists of four brushes formins it tqaaro head. which
by means of e'astic strings contracts or expands, according to
the small 07 extended space ;n which the machine moves, thereby
creatirg an even pressure oa all tour sides of a chithrey. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplind at intervals with
Universal epring joints, capable o" taming even a right angle
and the wattle is su-inounted with a doab'e revolving bait, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with ce7tainty
past every argle, and into every co-ner, cleansing .ts route most
perfectly. Tho capabilities of this machine are 1 sat demonstrated
by the fact, that it is aLclusively used to the Government and
numerous public offices, while tie patrollage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry In cohtinuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
on of the philanthropic views of the projector— Detailed prospectuses

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in
order
r
that it may be really the cause of mutual happinese. Coul t
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every Instance disclosed, in how meny could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation to 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
she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any ether to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
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 snoject can
be Of more importance than the preservation of the health,
est of the physical capabilities of Witch every man should
be 7.o6sessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim cif 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 aseistanee where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by lila posse-sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost esafidenee should 133 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.
