habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by rrematurely exhausting, the functions of Manhood, de-

The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It .also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross r xaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
fitting with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, end render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Re-biter (the only
true test of medical qualifica'ion), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the r.rest discoveries of modern
science, are renderA subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

" The ITse and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the p actical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—Fterald and Standard, N0v.12,1861.
" The Post-office Turkish BathY, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverw, 11 has already established the reputation of
an ab'e physician ; lie has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxui y, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may jusily say that if a man ever ',feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is on coming outiof:a
