Mr. SOUTHEY, in a letter to the Proprietors, remarks,
" Your National Portrait Gallery is, indeed, a very beautiful,
and will hereafter be deemed a very valuable, work."

tion, would, in our esteem, be a gratifying acquisition."—Lite-
rary(;azette.

" Non est vivere sed valere vita."—Nlartial.
" Life is only life when blest with health."
THE finest System of Ethics is to confine
within due hounds, and thus to regnlate the Pas-
sions; unrestrained, and insubordinate, they impetuously
destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have
made sacred ; to curb but not annihilate them, appears the
lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit thsir efferves-
cence.

Every disorganization of the human frame requires
great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public wel-
fare is promoted when professional men (disregarding the
suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their
studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by
imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an un-
guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in
the health of the people ;" but, it is melancholy to reflect
on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empy-
deism, and to counteract, as far as possible, its further
ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our
own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The
unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school,
before reason has asserted her right over the mind), will,
in contemplating his .
powerless state, become susceptible
of enlivening sensations, knowing that the most com-
plicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly

combined have not escaped our attention ; in which
combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually
adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiaaly ener-
getic, and eminently successful.
Educated in London, schooled in our professional at-
tainments by its splendid medical characters, and having
been able, personally, to compare with admiration the
British Surgical practice with the Continental, our pre-
tensions to superiority (in a branch we have selected) are
'natured by experience, which is evinced by the daily ap-
plications we receive, even from distant countries.
Daily attendance is given for personal consultation : and
letters from the country are immediately answered ; these
must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicines,
which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however
distant.
