REVIEWS 010 THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
)2d Ikarch, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856,
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and svmpathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de.
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable-and useful. "—Record.

agst Barricade, and 5 to 1 agat the Miss Whip filly.
Pompadour jumped off with a clear lead, followed by
Barricade, the Miss Whip filly and Trust, Duneany lying
close up with them. In this way they rounded the turn
into the straight, where the Miss Whip filly came out, and
with a slight lead made the running to the distance, where
Pompadour gave way, and Duneany at the same time got
up on the whip hand, and ran in company to the Stand
enclosure, where he was beaten, leaving the issue between
the three. Lord Glasgow's filly, running the longest, won by
hall a length, a like distance separating the second and
third. Pompadour was fourth, and Duneany last, who
pulled up lame.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Kate Price, and 2to 1 agat Erica.
Rome little time was lost through Redhair overpowering
Buck and running nearly to the turn before she could be
stopped. On the flag being lowered the quartette left the
post in close order, Erica having a slight lead, waited upon
by Redhair, Lucinda, and Kate Price in the order we have
given them to the distance, where the latter came through
her horses, and shortly after went on with a clear lead,
which she held to the end, and won very cleverly by a neck.
Lucinda finished a wretched third, and Redhair last, beaten
off. The winner was sold to Mr. Holmes for 160 guineas.

Crusade was the first in action, and got away with a clear
_ _

lead, followed by Annie de Clare, Tattoo, Lancelin, and
Brown Duchess, the others lying off some lengths, the

last of whom were Sweetbriar and Prudence, who got
badly off. Passing the wood Sweetbriar ran through her
horses, and on reaching the half-mile post was seen in pos-
session of the lead, closely waited upon by Tattoo, Crusade,
and the favourite, and in which way they ran to half-way
in the distance, when Brown Duchess came out, and won
in a very hollow style by a length. Tattoo, who passed
Sweetbriar opposite the stand, finished half a length in ad-
vance for second; Confidante was fourth, Prudence fifth,
and Blue Stockings next.

FIRE IN OXFORD-STREET.—Yesterday morning,
about half-past one o'clock, a fire of an alarming nature oc-
curred on the premises of Mr. John Baer, foreign toy ware-
house-keeper, 299, Oxford-street. An alarm being given
by the constable on duty, 92 C, and messengers sent for the
assistance of te Fire Brigade, Mr. Staples, the foreman of
the King-street station, with six engines, was soon in at-
tendance, and the firemen went to work, assisted by a plen-
tiful supply of water, and after some time succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before the premises of Mr.
Baer
e
were
manufacturer, much dam agd , and those of Mr. Nosotti, the
looking-glass
adjoining, injured. Fortu-
nately, the whole of the inmates escaped. Great assistance
was rendered to the firemen by a body of the C and E divi-
sions of police, under Mr. Superintendent Hannant and
Inspector Walker of the former division.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Day Heats,
Night Chills.—The temperature of noon and the chilly air
of evening generally produce in those exposed to their vicis-
situdes a dyspeptic state, if nothing more. Indigestion,
thus brought on, is usually accompanied by extreme de-
pression of the spirits, which render life a burthen. For
these distressing symptoms Holloway's Pills are a safe and
certain. remedy. In crowded cities, where miasmater must
be present, and must cause many cases of fever and similar
ailments, these pills are invaluable for removing all impu-
rities and regulating disordered functions. Holloway's
pills are particularly useful in destroying the virulence of
all infecting matter which has gained admission into the
body, while they rouse the nervous system from all morbid
depression,
