" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. Ti' :such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal malty questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of ne appeal even to tha
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
" Long experience in the treatment of a class of dis eases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove Vlssst there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, whet o the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them,. ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fats:
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

Messrs. MORISON have much pleasure in publishing, the follow-
ing letter with the writer's permission.
It is well-known to all the world that Lady Sophia Gr ey has been
following the Hygelan treatment for the last ten years, tc ad therefore
her opinion must be admitted. as highly valuable in a matter of
such vast importance. Her Ladyship's letter is as folio, :
" Sandiway, near Northwlrl 1, Cheshire,
December 11th, 1841'.
" Gentlemen,—This has been such a dreadful sickly year amongst
the poor, that the demand for your most excellent pills has been
very great, and I shall therefore be thanktlg for the us us 1 supply of
them.
" I take this opportunity of enclosing the 51. for 1846, towards the
Exeter Hygelan Dispensary.
" I think nothing can be more satisfactory than the poogress that
your medicine makes; and wishing it may in time gate ,a complete
victory. " I remain, Gentlemen,
" Your sincerely obliged,
" SOPHIA_ GREY."

TIGHT LAClNG.—Pressure of the bones on the lungs,
whether brought on by muscular or nervous debility, or by mecha-
nical construction of the chest, has a precisely similar effect, as pres-
sure elsewhere ; for it is impossible that the effect should differ,
merely because of the difference in the size of the parts co mioressed.
The results of long-continued pressure are the same, whatever the
nature of the parts of the body exposed to its influence ;may be.
That one of the effects of pressure upon the lungs is difflicodty of
breathing, a constant and harassing attendant upon consun Iption.
and concerning the cause of which medical writers entertain such
various and contending opinions ;—I have completely satisfied :,Anyself
by a careful examination of the chest in a great number of persons.

DISASTROUS INCENDIARY FIRE.—CAMBRIDGE, ;FEB.
7.—Early on Saturday morning a fire was discovered on the: pre-
mises of Mr. Free, an extensive farmer at Bottesham in this cot inty.
The whole of the premises, with the exception of the ell vet ling-
house, together with about one hundred and thirty coombs of wt4eat,
the like quantity of barley, and other agricultural produce, \ aeous
Implements, a valuable cart horse, and some fat swine, were en tit ely
destroyed. The fire, in consequence of a brisk wind, speedily sprm
to the adjoining farm, the property of Mr. John King, which soo n
shared the same fate as his neighbour's, the house only being saved •
Here ids() corn, hay, implements, &c., were destroyed to as large au
extent as on Mr Free's premises. Some out-buildings in the occu-
pation of Nr. King, glazier, were also consumed, nor was this all,
for unhappily the wind being very high, sparks were conveyed by it
to some cottages on the opposite side of the village, belonging to
Mr. Parker, which soon ignited, and fifteen dwellings were soon one
blazing mass. Twenty poor families have been thus deprived of a
home, and it was truly heartrending to see the poor croatures with
only their night-clothes on, running with their families they knew
not whither, in search of a place of shelter, while others were en-
deavouring to rescue their small stock of furniture. The Norwich
union engine from Cambridge arrived at four o'clock; but at that
hour the Swaffham and Bottesham engines were, and had been for
some time, in full work. The property we understand is insured,
but the loss we fear considerably exceeds the amount of the, policies.
No doubt existed from the first that the fire originated from the
hand of an incendiary, and there is, we rejoice to say, every hope
that in this case the miscreant will be brought to justice. A man
named Webb, but commonly called " Squirrel]," was taken into cus-
tody at the fire, and examined this morning befbre George Jenyns,
Esq., at the Swan Inn, Bottesham. The inquiry Was proceeding
when we Wt.
