" I Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little work will serve as a beacon to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their paisions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chronicie
" Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis.—Their long °opulence and re-
putation in the treatment of these painful diseases is the patient's
guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cirulation."
" Curtis on Manhood' should be in the hands of youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written, and developes the
treatment of a class of painful maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Service
Gazette.
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, en 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, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
mach more frequently than it is at all suspected.

PRETENDED HAT BOX MAKERS.—On Thursday
evening a seizure was made of an illicit distillery at a
house in West-street, Bethnal-green. The officers found
the door strongly fastened, and no answer being given
to their request for admission, they forced it open. In
the back lower room they discovered a still at full work,
running off strong spirits, with throe large casks of mo-
lasses wash in full operation, and all the requisites for
illicit distillation. A precipitate retreat, it appeared,
had been made by the men who were at work at the
time the officers entered, for in the upper room they
found a ladder placed up to a hole in the ceiling, and the
tiles on the top of the house had been removed to allow
a man to pass through. The officers followed up the
ladder, but had not proceeded many steps when it was
forced down, and they fell to the ground, extinguishing
at the same time the lights which they carried. Being
thus left in the dark, a considerable time elapsed before
they could resume the pursuit, and by this time the men
had got on the top of the house, thence to some adjoin.
ing buildings, and finally leaping into a garden, and
escaped. The men are known by the description of
" scum-boilers" at a sugar-house, and to conceal their
real employment professed to be hat-box makers, many
such articles being placed in the window. The seizure
was conveyed to the Excise warehouses in Broad- street.
One of the officers was considerably injured by the fall
of the ladder.
