The great defect in the numerous Manuals of Cookery, which at
present divide the public favour, is their bulk and price. Neither of
these objections apply' to the present work ; although it will be found
to contain all that is really and most practically useful to the good
and economical housewife. It has been the object of the Autho-
ress to supply all the requisite information for keeping a well-or-
dered kitchen, and furnishing a respectable table, without perplex-
ing the young Housekeeper with a useless variety of recipes, and a
multitude of details, which, even where not entirely frivolous, may
at all times be best left to individual judgment, experiences and
convenience.
POCKET GUIDE 'TO 'DOMESTIC COOKERY. BY A LADY.—
This little volume posses an advantage which few volumes can lay
clam to—it contains everything that is necessary on the subject ;
and nothing more. Its minute size—its neat style of binding, and
the clear and methodical arrangement of the subject, will ensure for
it, we doubt not, a very extended popularity ; and enable it to
usurp the place of more pretending, but less convenient treatises.
The art of carving' is explained in a manner which will be found
useful to those who, through dire necessity, or extreme philan-
thropy, are desirous of attaining a dangerous pre-eminence us that
useful art.'—Edinburgh Weekly Journal.
Price Is. 6d. each.
THE POCKET MEDICAL GUIDE, vest pocket size, ls.
6d. gilt. On Diet and Regimen—on exposure to Cold and its ef-
fects—on the uses and doses of Medicine.
" A book that no family, in town or country, ought to be with-
out."—Kilmarnock Journal.
The MOTHER'S POCKET MEDICAL GUIDE, on the
Management of Children.
THE POCKET MEDICAL GUIDE, AND THE MOTHER'S POCKET
MEDICAL GuinE.—" Mr. ll'Phun has become celebrated for
bringing out cheap and useful publications of this sort, and none
more useful than the two now before us could well have been given
to the public. The one is a treatise written in a popular style,
on diet and regimen, cold and its effects, and the use and abuse of
medicine ; and the other is one on the physical education and
diseases of children. They are the first of a series, worthy of the
attention of non-professional readers. The contents are arranged
on an excellent plan, besides being in a form which includes much
practically useful information in a small space. They are astonish-
ingly moderate in price ; and we consider the community much in-
debted to the spirited publisher for these two interesting publica-
tions."—Aberdeen Observer, Oct. 14, 1834.
THE SHORT-HAND WRITER'S POCKET GUIDE,—
conveying a full knowledge of this useful Art, on a new and im-
proved system, by which may be written 150 words per minute,
illustrated by an entire copy-of the Scripture Paraphrases used in
the Church of Scotland, and the 39 Articles of the Church of
England. By JOHN GARDNER
- THE SCOTTISH PULPIT.
Three volumes of this valuable work of Practical Divinity are
are now completed, and may be had of- all booksellers for Bs. each
volume. Any volume may be had separate.
" The third volume of this excellent body of Practical Theology
is completed ; and its merits, we think, are even greater than those
of the volumes by which it was pree,:lcd. There is a marked im-
provement in the style of the sermons, an,: to account for the su-
periority is not difficult. The utility of the woil is now esta-
blished, and clergymen, appreciating its merits, and knc-.ving its
extensive circulation, select with care the sermons they wish
appear in its pages. The Scottish Pulpit is a publication in which
Christians of every denomination are interested. With party it
has nothing to do. The diffusion of Christianity is its object, in a
mode cheap, convenient, and elegant. —ln this age of cheap pub-
lications the idea of furnishing two sermons for two-pence seemed
to be merely the speculation of an ardent mind. The attempt,
however, pleased the religious public—the variety of the work
continued to excite attention—its substantial matter ensured ap-
probation, till, from ranking as a weekly production, it has as-
sumed the loftier station of a standard publication of practi-
cal divinity. Nor is this strange. The sermons generally are
what such productions should be, calculated to improve the
understanding and affect the heart, and from the peculiar
circumstances under which they are furnished they have an unction
which few printed sermons possess. This publication, therefore,
has just claims for general diffusion. Is the Christian fond to pos-
sess a sermon of his beloved Minister ? In the stillness of the Sab-
bath evening, does he wish a work suitable for that day, and in uni-
son with his feelings?—Does the father, in a domestic circle on that
evening, require a publication to instruct the minds of his house-
hold, and improve their hearts ? Is the Christian, in the seclusion
of a sick chamber, desirous of spiritual comfort ?—To all these
classes, how diversified soever their circumstances, the Scottish
Pulpit is peculiarly adapted. The religious sailor will find this
work most suitable for a spare hour on Sunday. It will remind
him of home, of his duty to himself, to his neighbour, and to his
God. The pious shipmaster, who assembles his crew for religious
purposes on Sabbath, would consult his own interest and t he spiritual
welfare of those for whom he is deeply responsible, by adding to his
religious exercises a selection from the pages of this work. We
heartily recommend this publication to the patronage of a religious
public; known, its merits will be acknowledged; and we are proud
to have this work associated with the literature of Scotland. It is
worthy of her press and of her pastors ; and the pablishers merit
the warmest thanks for the manner in which the Scottish Pulpit
has been conducted; and we sincerely trust that their past and con-
tinued exertions will be fairly appreciated."— Greenock Advertiser.
MACNISH'S ANATOMY of DRUNKENNESS. Price 6s.
Fifth Edition.
" This little book is evidently the production of a man of genius.
The style is singularly neat, terse, concise, and vigorous, far beyond
the reach of any ordinary mind. As a medical treatise it is excel-
lent ; and to those who stand in need of advice and warning, it is
worth a hundred sermons."—Blackwood's Magazine.

Edition.
" This is one of the most interesting and delightful volumes we

alone flows from original genius."—Edinburgh Evening Post.

GOREAN.

Mr. Macnish's books."—Kilmarnock Journal.

ABelief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will,
however, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art
and medicine. Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination,
have sought fatally to anticipate the purposes of nature, and have
consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened ca-
pabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to profes-
sional treatment, regain those first, noblest, and best of powers that
have been compromised by the criminal propensities of " guilty soli-
tude." the progress of which is marked by the " lymphatica som-
nia* of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental apathy.
We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily cor••
respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to
our own country, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty-
five years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility
proved eminently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the
earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public
address the following, however, has been so urgently pressed upon
us by a medical friend, that we have yielded to an importunity suf-
ficiently excusable by the gratitude it evinces :
" Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized ! Accept my most
neartfelt thanks ; words are inadequate to express my unbounded
gratitude. May you long live to reap the rich reward of your
labours in the treatment of that class of diseases which have hitherto
baffled the skill of your medical brethren.
" Nov. 1832." Your's, most sincerely, L. H."
There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when
compared with the above, may be termed subsordinate) that are
consequent upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the
passions', exhibiting in some, debility from excess, in others, the
relaxing effects of a tropical' climate, and in many, indeed in how
many, the various maladies which afflict the student, the misan-
thrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the libertine. In all these
cases our'practice, which embraces every grade in society, from the
man of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been uniformly
successful ; and as secrecy belongs to our profession, the most deli-
cate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation.
MESSRS. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted every day at
their residence ; and Patients in the remotest part of the Country
can be treated successfully on transmitting their report which will
be immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for
Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be
forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. No difficulty
can occur, as the ledicines will be securely packed, and carefully
protected from observation.
