On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, 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."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, 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 sho.dd live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general Minty, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, 01 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 own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
Oates 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 Ilke 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 -herwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147,
Fleet-street; Hannay, 63, Oxford• street; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; or
direct from the Author, 21, Arundel-street, Strand, who may be ad-
vised personally on these matters daily till Three, and in the Ever -
ngs from Seven till Nine.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the peblie during the ten year,
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
aington and Co., is beyond all compartson the very best article, next
sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma•
erial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.
