AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency
these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and, various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of 'which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review

AXINERAL MARMORATUM FOR FlL-
ivi LING DECAYED TEETH, and INCORRODIBLE
ARTIFICIAL TEETH FITTED WITHOUT WIRES or
other LIGATURES.

MONSIER LE DRAY and Co., SURGEON-DENTISTS,
No. 60, NEWMAN-STEET, OXFORD-STREET, continue
to RESTORE DECAYED TEETH with their Celebrated
MINERAL MARMORATUM, so universally recommended by
the Faculty of England, France; and throughout the Continent. It
fills up the cavity, however large or small, WITHOUT, THE
LEAST PAIN, HEAT, or PRESSURE; it is placed there in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds HARDENS INTO
ENAMEL, forming a WHOLE TOOTH out of a STUMP, ar-
resting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the
most excruciating pain, and rendering the OPERATION OF
EXTRACTION UNNECESSARY. They also FASTEN
LOOSE TEETH, particularly of aged persons, whether arising
from neglect, the use of Calomel, disease of the Gums, or any
other cause ; the whole or partial Sets of Teeth formed of the above
Incorrodible Mineral.
ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of SURPASSING
BEAUTY, to match equal in colour and shape those left in the
month, FIXED FROM ONE TO A COMPLETE SET,
without Extracting the Roots, or giving any pain, the incum-
brance of Wires or other Ligatures, on a principle yet unri-
valled, rendering it impossible to distinguish the Artificial Teeth
from the Natural ones ; answering most satisfactorily all the
purposes of the original Teeth in MASTICATION AND ARTI-
CULATION, IMPARTING TO THE COUNTENANCE A
YOUNGER AND IMPROVED APPEARANCE, and re-
maining perfectly secure in their places ; they may also be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility
Charges as in Paris.

• ANOTHER DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LON-
DON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD.—Between six and seven
o'clock on Saturday evening last, Thomas Logan, of No. 37,
Cotton's-gardens, Hackney-road, one of the miners employed
in excavating the tunnel of the London and Birmingham Rail-
road, between Primrose-hill and the Edgeware-road, while
at work in the shaft No. 4, there met with the following
dreadful and 'lamentable accident had just finished his
work, and was about leaving the shaft to receive his week's
wages, and proceed home to his family, when one of the
centres of the wooden arch erected to prevent the earth fall-
ing in gave way, and several very heavy pieces of timber fell
upon the unfortunate man with tremendous force, striking him
to the ground in a senseless state. He was immediately con-
veyed to the North London Hospital, in Upper Gower-street,
Bedford-square, where, on a surgical examination of the in-
juries•he had sustained, it was found that the bones of his right
leg, between the knee and ankle joints, were broken, and
protruded through the flesh, causing an extensive and fright-
ful wound; he was also otherwise much bruised and injured.
He is at present in considerable danger. He is in the 37th
year of his age, and has a wife and large family dependent on
his labour for their support.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—The
Hon. Charles Petre, of Brentwood, Essex, with Mrs. Petre,
and son, and daughter, and female servant, took a boat at
Tilbury Fort, on Friday last, to be put on board the Mag-
net, bound for Margate, when, by the unskilfulness of the
ferrymen, the boat got under the wheel of the steamer, and
was in a moment upset, plunging the whole family, as well
as the boatmen, into the water. Mr. Petre quickly _caught
hold of the boat with his left hand, and supported Mrs. Petre
with his right arm ; meanwhile the maid-servant clung to the
boat also, and the young lady caught hold of her hair, and
held so fast that a great portion of it separated flora her
head, but she continued her hold, while Master Petre was seen
by his agonized parents to go down the water and come up
again three times, when most fortunately William Mer-
chant and Edward Oakley came up with their boat from
Gravesend, and saved the whole of the family. Mr. Petre,
who is in the very prime of life, and very powerful but could
not swim, appeared much exhausted, while all the others had
a deathly appearance when brought ashore, but happily re-
covered by the next day, through Mrs. Pallistor's attention at
the hotel, where the family were taken, and reposed for the
night. The two watermen were handsomely rewarded by
Mr. Petre, and were promised by a gentleman present, one
of the committee of the Royal Humane Society, to have each
a medal for their praiseworthy conduct, which Mr. Petre
hearing of, he sent for the gentleman (Mr. Parlett), and
wrote down his name as a subscriber to that society. We
regret to learn this morning that the Hon. Mrs. Petro died on
Sunday, at the Falcon Hotel, Gravesend. From the violent
shock, she burst a blood-vessel, which terminated in this me-
lancholy and fatal result.
