REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"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.

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

'FIAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—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, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is st a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered 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 owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, 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 lili e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of 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, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
To be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147,
Fleet-street ; Hannay, 63, Oxford. street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; or
direct from the Author, 21, Armidel-street, Strand, who may be ad-
vised personally on these matters daily till Three, and in the Ever.-
'ngs from Seven till Nine.

MILITARY FLOGGING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

your paper of yesterday, I see a statement con-
cerning military matters, which I am sorry to say is by no
means correct. In this you have been led away by the
paper you quote from, the Plymouth Journal, the editor of
which unluckily was not in possession of the facts of the case
when he published that paragraph—a proceeding, on his
part, that shows the truth of Mr. Fox Maule's observations
as to the incorrectness of a portion of the press. The facts
are these :—Private Higgins was sentenced, not for only
threatening, but for actually throwing a pair of boots at
Colour-Sergeant Williams, and violently striking him after-
wards. Ile was perfectly sober at the time, and received no
provocation ; far from it ; the sergeant was giving him these
boots, he having made away with his others. He was taken
down after receiving 150 lashes, but it is contrary to the
regulations of the army that a man should be again brought
up to receive the rema►nder of a corporal punishment when
he has been considered by the surgeon as unfit to bear the
whole of it. Lee's offence was a similar one, striking a
sergeant, a crime now very frequent in the army, and striking
at the root of all military discipline; but in consequence of
his previous good character he was sentenced to four months
or 112 days' imprisonment, and no flogging, as the Plymouth
paper states.
In your well-known regard for justice you will not refuse
to put the truth before the public.
