_L. Copy •f a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Mont par,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,
" 14th Jane, 1147.
"Sin,—Having suffered most dresalfUlly for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Mils. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and *nets In
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very 'such improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ttey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effecled by your
wonderful medicine, you aro at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Cir, yours respectfully.
" J. J. WILSON."

riELlßACY.—Singleness is not always the con-
k j sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a dilll-
culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instanc,s where, under that
blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec-
tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which
his affianced would he plunged if he married. Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her
fr,m accepting other offers. There is scarcely a s”eto*Vro this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise 'ef common
fsgesight, its frequency might be —to lessened as to ren-
der an inst.-Awe fare throughout the entiro - 'kingdom.' - The
disqualifications fir Marriage hay, more than ono prindly sotirce ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
Natural Deficiency; the Prostration produced by Early Habits; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men aro prevented from marrying by the effects
of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im-
pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and
be fails to consult even his own medical attendant. such will find
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CIO.,
