Kairon gnothi—Fugit Nora,

A Belief 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-
paltqities 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 soh-
tade," the progress of which is marked by the " lymphatica som-
nia' ofPliny, 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 contiakd to
aur own country, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty-
fi;t, 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
arldreis the folldwing, however, has been so urgently pensett'upon
us by a medical friend, that we have yielded to an importemity suf-
ficiently excusable the gratitude it. evinces
" Dear Sirs-1 ndest hopes are realized ! Accept my most
neart felt thanks ; words .are inadequate to express my unbounded
"ratituile. May you long live to reap the rich'reward of your
labours in the treatment of that classof diseases which have hitherto
baffled the skill of your medical brethren.
" Nov. 1832." Your's, most sincerely, L. II."
There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when
con pared with the above, may be termed subsordinatc) 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-
thnpe, 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 secresy belongs to our profession, the most deli-
cate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation.

READ'S NEW PATENT,

I READ begs most respectfully to inform the
Qv 0 Profession and the Public, that, after fourteen years expe-
rience of manufacturing and fitting up Instruments by his own
hands, he has succeeded, after a series of experiments, in effecting
certain Improvements in his STOMACH AND ENEMA SY-
RINGES, by which they are rendered more simple, portable, and
durable, than any instruments of the kind ever offered to the pub-
lic. These improvements especially facilitate the administration
of Enemas and Injections, so that invalids -may now avail them-
selves of this very efficient mode of relief, either sitting, standiltg,
or even in bed, without any assistance. These Instrummiti are
fitted with auxiliaries, applicable to eases of Pilei, Btricittees,
Hemorrhoids, Prolassi-am, and other diseases of the alimentary
canal, and are particularly suited to the snore delicate complaints of
females; ty whom they may be used with the most perfect ease and
privacy, no assistance being required.
These Instruments, &c. continue te be manufactured by the
Patentee, 35, Regent Circus, Piccadilly. Female attentlanee if
