iPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards if twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
luces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period if life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and. 105.

STERILITY,--Whatever is unproductive is with-
out intrinsic value. Mau and his Maker alike condemn that
which " yields ne fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned
for the same reason thst caused the barren fig tree to be cursed.
This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the
ear of those of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home.
It is a remarkable fact that the uuproductiveness of soil and
species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are
the produce of vitiated strata that yields ass offspring as
unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of
minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some
soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others
are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
want of perseverance and nerve in the husbandman. Mark the ana-
logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he
springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early,
and isverta.sks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in-
fect his frame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
of his orga•dzation and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been
recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from
stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now
removable through the profound, discoveries in physic which enlighten
the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been
produced which fills the heart with, hope and is calculated to remove
Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS
AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, I', Frith. street, Soho-square,
London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its

their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abase
of mercury, are also clearly pointed oat. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
rAET 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 an the system. This important part of the Work should
be read by every Young Man entering into life.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt fr
ilom
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, pho-
sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike meet things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred' consummation of m
passio a
nrriage.
When union does not take place, however, this , this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most
life-
un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being inset subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
tidiest and most satisfactory information in the little work ettitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,

illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, o: infection.
