(IN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing' why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who ars subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 18.58.

THE THIRD ERA IN THE PROGRESS
OF STEAM.
" A STEAM PLOUGH FOR THE IDLE SOIL OF THE WORLD."
Now that the patrons of the destructive sciences are making
such efforts to brine, to perfection their engines for the de-
struction of life and property, it becomes the advocates of
peace and commercial progress to be equally active in an op-
posite direction ; the attention, therefore, of the commercial
community, whose interests are necessarily identified, the
latter is called to the fact of "a newly-discovered principle in
locomotive mechanics," which places all the operations of
agriculture entirely within the range of steam power, fur-
nishes the farmer with a cheap, efficient, and reliable steam
engine, and opens up the agricultural resources of the colonies
to the enterprise of the capitalist. The Steam Plough has a
very great and important bearing on the manufacturing and
industrial interests of this country ; for every kind of agri-
cultural produce is now daily becoming more scarce, and
the efficiency of this branch of industry is daily mani-
festing a greater incapacity to keep pace with the de-
mands of society for the staples of life, commerce, and
industry. The British people possess, however, almost un-
limited resources of .idle soil in their colonies which only
require labour to fructify them. A practical steam plough is
therefore equivalent to nothing more or less than "a cheap
and abundant supply of the staples of life, commerce, and
trade, a rapid development of colonial growth and prosperity,
and an extended demand for all the products of British
industry."
The steam engine has been the pioneer of British freedom
and power ; in its first era (Manufacture) it provided a cheap
and efficient method of supplying society with the conveni-
ences of life—gave wealth, unity, and power to a commercial
class which came forth as the rival of absolute misrule and
the champion of constitutional government ; in its second era
(Transportation) it furnished efficient international commu-
nication, and, uniting the interests of commerce in a course
favourable to free trade, it broke up the system of protection
which had concentrated the wealth of the country (and eons
seouently the political power) in the hands of an oligarchy;
it united by commercial ties the various countries of the earth,
and carried the banner of civilisation and Christianity to the
shores of every land ; there they now wait another agent
which shall tear up the forest and the jungle, and open up the
haunts of barbarity and superstition for their further pro-
gress. Another era has yet to be accomplished —(the Agri-
cultural)—and with this will come the third instalment of
commercial-progress, the extension of the civilising influences
of industry throughout the earth, the rapid maturity and con-
solidation of the commercial and industrial interests of the
country, and a gradual decay to all the elements of irrespon-
sible power and fictitious nobility.
Help ! Preachers of the Gospel, for the first note of your
message has yet to be sounded to three-fourths of the human
race ; help, Christians and philanthropists, for the idle soil
of the world is waiting to give bread to the poor and employ-
ment to the idle; help, reformers, for the power of your great
enemy is built on its connection with Agriculture on its con-
trol over the first elements of industrial and commercial pros-
perity (staple supply); help, friends of the slave, for steam in
Agriculture will at the same time give both a substitute and
a remedy for slavery; hell 4 merchants, manufacturers, traders,
and all the armies of the industrious, for the idle soil of your
Colonies is waiting to give freight for your ships, produce for
your railroads, staples for your factories and mills, wealth to
your customers, and material independence and property to
every industrious man.

D AVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.—
THE LATEST DISCOVERY.—Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material
for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit
of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, 'ls ENAMEL HITE, keep 4 is colour, and lts for
ever. It is invaluableW for Front Teeth. Attendanceas daily
from Ten till Six. Consultations free. Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Electric Teleg,mph Office, 448, West Strand,
