The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation In Man-
hood, 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 condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health. happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
It la absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
inciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out indirring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue
teed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may beremoved,
andhow the evil and its consequences maybe 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 care.

ICEVr-AND_IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE

GITTTA PE RCHA TUBING for WATERING
GXRDENA.

The GUTTA PERCIIA COMPANY have the.pleastwe to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the following testimonial from Mr. J. Farrah,
Gardener to Boswell Middleton Jalland, Esq., of Holderness-house,
near Hnll.

" I have had 400 feet of your Gutta Percha Tubing, in lengths of
100 feet each, with union joint, in use for the last twelve months for
watering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than any-
thing I have ever yet tried.

" The pressure of the water is very considerable, but this has not
the slightest effect on the tubing.
" I consider tnis tubing to be a most valuable invention for gar-
deners, inasmuch as it enables us to water our gardens in about me-
ha' f the :ime, and with one half the labour formerly required.
Manufactu:ed by the GUTTA PERCIIA. COMPANY, Patentees,
18, Wharf-road, City-road, London; and sold by their wholesale
dealers in town and country.
