PAnT I. treats of the anatomy and physiology of the re-productive

PART 11. treats of the consequences resulting from excessive indul-
gence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental
and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity.
It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap-
plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action
is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys
its power on the system. This important part of the Work should
be read by every Yonng Man entering into life.
PART V. is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its
duties. The causes of unproductive union are also considered, and
the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into.

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,
be 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, tithes, &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.

DEATH or SIR HUGH MUNRO, BART.—We have
to record the demise of the above venerable Baronet,
whose dissolution took place at his residence, in Man-
chester-square. lie was the son of the seventh Baronet
by the daughter of Mr. Hugh Rose, and was born in
1763, so that he had attained the ripe age of 85 years.
DESTRUCTIVE FINE THIS MORNING.—Shortly be-
fore three o'clock, a fire broke out in the lower part of
the premises of Mr. Petty, a clothier, on Holborn-hill,
which in a few moments (in consequence of their being
built chiefly of timber) communicated to the two adjoin-
ing houses, respectively occupied by Messrs. Winter,
grocers, and Mr. Skinner, tobacconist. The fire was
discovered by police-constable Jones, 221, who was on
duty, and observed smoke issuing from the former pre-
mises. lie gave the alarm, and the fire-escapes promptly
attending, he with others succeeded in saving the in-
mates. The fire raged with considerable fury for same
time, but was confined to the premises.
ROWING MATCH,--.The London Rowing Club s
first match this season came off yesterday: the course
was from Putney-bridge to Mortlake, and the boats
came in thus:—Cornwall (red), Ist; Tuke (purple), 2d;
Morgan (green), 3d; Laurie (stripes), 4th; llesketh,
(yellow), sth; Jones, (blue) 6th; Wordsworth (black)
7th. The start was a very beautiful one, all getting away
even. Mr. Tuke then took a decided lead, but after a
short distance Mr. Morgan overtook him, and by dint of
extraordinary exertions contrived to maintain the lead,
but at Hammersmith-bridge fouling a barge, red and
purple came up to him; from this point a game and gal-
lant contest ensued, lied winning by a length, and Purple
defeating Green by the same space; the otherswere some
distance in the rear. The winner, who displayed much
skill but little strength in the race, was greatly fatigued
at the finish. At starting, Green and Purple
were
backed against the lot, and Red was the next favourite.
