THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had beenpartly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
front its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

SELF-PRESERVATION.-A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope iu revealing; the hidden mysteries "of Life within
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-
tion, the cause and effect of everyvariety of these complaints,
with numerous engravings and cases
BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON,
Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono-
rary 3lember of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
andits consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.
