Kairon gnothi—Fugit hors.
ABclief 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, servo 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 soh-
t ude," the progress of which is marked by the " lymphatics coin-
nie: of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental apathy.
We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily coy-
respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not. confined to
our own country, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty-
fi IC 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 classof 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
oempared 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 ethers, 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
eases 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 sccresy 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 oeeur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully
protected from observation.
