ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. _

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Byhis systematic man4,rement
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a veinal),
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to strioture."—Medical Circular.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 7ad. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 165. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 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 aplain
and sympathising 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.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—GRISI FAREWELL
FESTIVAL.
The Directors of the Crystal Palace have the pleasure to
announce that they have made arrangements to give
A GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL
in honour of
THE FAREWELL OF MADAME GRISI.
This Festival will take place TO-MORROW (Wednes-
day), July 31.
It has probably never before fallen to the lot of any can-
didate for public favour to sustain for twenty-nine succes-
sive seasons the highest and most arduous characters of the
lyric drama, end certainly never with such unanimous com-
mendations as have been unceasingly bestowed on Madame
Grisi.
The Directors are convinced that not only will the higher
classes, who have been the most frequent witnesses of
Madame Grisi's artistic triumphs, participate in their sen-
timents on this occasion, but they feel sure that the retire-
ment of that lady will cause one general feeling of deep
regret to all the lovers of music of this country.
In organising, therefore, this Farewell Festival, arrange-
ments have been made to impart to it the character of a
popular ovation. The holders of both classes of Season
Tickets will be admitted to the Festival without charge,
while, at the same time, the price of admission to the public
in general is placed at such a moderate sum as will, in all
probability, ensure an immense assemblage to bid Farewell
to the great Prima Donna.
The following celebrated Artistes will appear on this oc-
casion :--
Mdme. PENCO, Mdme. RUDERSDORFF, Mdme.
DIDIEE, Mdme. TIBERINI;
Signor MARIO,
Signor TIBERINI, Signor RONCONI, Signor
GR AZIANI, M. ZELGER, Signor TAGLIAFICO,
Signor NERI-BARALDI, Monsieur FAURE, Signor
TAMBERLIK, and Madame GRISI,
Who will sing some of her most popular music.
Conductor, Mr. COSTA,
who has most kindly undertaken to conduct on this occa-
sion. The Orchestra will comprise the entire band of the
Italian Opera and that of the Crystal Palace Company, the
Chorus of the Royal Italian Opera, the additional Choristers
engaged in nossini'4."_ Guillaume a.c.areful
selection of Chorat Amateurs from the Sacred Harmonic
Society, Exeter Hall, the whole forming an effective Ope-
ratics Orchestra of the unusual extent of Three Hundred
Performers.
The performance will take place in the Centre Transept
on the front portion of the Great Handel Orchestra, which
will be so enclosed as to secure the best acoustic effects.
The Programme may be had on application at the
Agents' and Ticket Offices.
PRICES OF TICKETS.
In the desire to fix such a rate as will ensure a large
attendance, the price of admission is fixed at Half-a-Crown.
Reserved Stalls in front of the Orchestra, similar to
Blocks O and G at the Handel Festival, will be issued at
Five Shillings each. Reserved Seats unnumbered, around
the above seats, at Half-a-Crown. Stalls in the Corner
Galleries, Five Shillings each.
The Ticket Offices at the Crystal Palace ; at the Box-
