'I he essential object of this.treatise is to point out the fearful con-
seouences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dis -ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly re commended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phvs cal c^ndition, rend who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed theheyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and Its consequences maybe avoided, and, ahoy sit
that the'e is scarcely any degree of pits sleil infirmity or funet it n :
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

to any undue influence having been u9ed to procure
Mr. Roupeli's return. On t►ie contrary, a general
opinion was expressed by Mr. Wilkinson's cimmit-
tee, and throughout the borough, that the election
was being conducted in a more creditable manner
than any previous election. (Cheers.) But at 12
o'clock on the day of-polling, when Ali. Wilkin-

son's friends saw that no effort on their part could
avert the ridiculous plsition in which he was placed.
the charge was made that Mr..Roupell's return had
been brought about by improper- practices, and-
that Mr. Wilkinson had not had fair play. The
cry of bribery and intimidation having been raised,
it was readily ciught up by certain parties, who no
doubt thoughb they could turn the affair to their
own benefit.
_(Cheers.) Mr. Wilkinson's corn-

mittee were calesd togeil!er, in order to consider

whether a petition should be prt s rated ; but to the
honour of almost alt the members of that com-
mittee, including Mr. Rhodes, its chairman, they
declared that having fought the battle, and having
been b?ateo, they ought to rest content, and not
to sanction aey petition, unless it could be based
on &ear and utimistlkeable grounds. (Cheers.)
The parties interested in the matter, however, de-
termined to proceed, and got up a committee, and
pa.sed a resolution to proceed against either Mr.
Roupell or Mr. Williams, one or bo h. (Laughter.)
They then determined to get up evidence, and two
persons wcre employed fur that purpose. At the
end of the first week one of the men 'applied for
payment. When asked what evidence he had ob-
tained, he stated that he had gone through the
whole borough, but could find nothing to report
against Mr. Roup3ll, his agent, or his commit-e
(Cheers and laughter.) " Toon (said the 'com-
mittee) you are not the mail fur us—you ware
engaged on the principle of no. evidence no pay."
(Laughter.) When the man applied to a magistrate
on the subject be ascertained that he Could not
interfere in the matter. Of course, when the other
man found that.he could not get paid without pro-
curing some information, evidence became as plen-
tiful as blackberfes. (Laughter.) The first thing
which he reported was this :—He took from his
pocket a small piece of card contduing the signi-
ficant words " g'n and water"-(laughter)--ltd
forthwith through 'the length and breadth of the
borough it was gravely asserted thtt Mr. Rau-
pelt had circulated no less than six thousand
little bits of can entitling the- ho!clera to a full
draught of that delicious beverage. (Laughter.)
Having obtained that evidence, the question
arose who was to fat her it, and after dome discus -
sion it was sAtli-cl.'that the names of Patteson

Nickell% of Trafalgar-road, gentleman, and Robt.
Henry Bristo we, of Grove-road, Brixton-road,
stockbroker, should be affixed to the petition.
He had no doubt these gentlemen would say they
had acted on public principle, but public principle
meant uo principle at all—(Laughter)—and he had
no doubt they would be ashamed of their work
when the day of reckoning arrived. (Cheers.) He
should very much like to see the list of subscribers
towards the expenses of the petition. He did not
believe there were .20 who resided in the borough,
and felt quite certain *that the matter was better
known on the Stock Exchange than in Lambeth.
(Cheers.) The question naturally arose, was there
any truth in the petition In his conscience he
believed it was a fabrication, and a most malicious
falsehood. (Cheers.) Toe petition charged Mr.
Roupell with having promised to obtain places for
his constituents. Now, the fact wag, that before
Mr. Roupell had been a candidate for a single day
be B.dd, "If I am elected let it be distinctly under-
stood that I will not throw away my independence
by asking for favour or place for any man in the
world." (Cheers.) To that pledge Mr. Roupell
had strictly adhered, and there was, not a word of
truth in the charge. Another allegation in the
petition was the extravagant expenditure of money.
The lowest amount he had he ird mentioned was
10,0001., and the highest 50,000/. (Laughter.) The
lower sum was nearly the amount, but the actual
sum would be given at the proper time. But it was
rather strange that such a charge should be preferred
by the friends of the man who on a former occasion
spent 1,0001. a-day, and whose last contest cost him
nearly 3,5001., being a little, more than a guinea for
each vote which he received. (Cheers and lau6h-
ter.) He believed that Mr. Roupell could have
gained his seat without incnrring any grelt ex-
pense, but he wished to enter the House of Com-
mons stamped with the approval of a large majority,
and said he was prepared to incur all legititr.ate ex-
penses to secure a triumphant position. (Cheers.)
The fact of a man having been .returned by a majo-
rity of 6,000 over his opponent was unprecedented
in the history of elections. (Cheers.) The question
was, ivhelher the electors-would consent to remain
under the stigma which had beau cast upon them.
He had heard that there was a probability of the
petition being withdrawn. (NC), no.) He trusted
it would not be withdrawn, but that the charges
would be either proved or:disproved. (Cheers.) The
cause was that. of the electors, and he asked them
to do their duty, and show that earnestness and de-
termination which were characteristic of English-
men whenever they had a righteous cause in hand.
Let them not rest content under the stigma which
had been, cast upon them, but let them show a bold
front, and they must succeed. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. GODDARD moved the first resolution, to the
effect—that this meeting having read the petition
presented to the House of Commons against the
return of W. Roupell, Esq., and believing the
allegations contained therein to be utterly, un-
founded, hereby expresses its ipdignation at
this scandalous and untenable attempt to throw
a discredit on the 9,318 electors who recorded
their free and unbought votes in favour of that gen-
tleman at the recent election. A great deal had
been said by the friends of Mr. Wilkinson about
'gentlemanly- conduct, and that it was unfair to
bring forward a man against another who• had the
sympathy of the borough. (Laughter.) Now the
first thing done by Mr. Wilklnsou's friends was to
issue scurrilous lampoons. Was that gentlemanly
conduct ? (Cheers.) Was it gentlemanly conduct
for Mr. Wilkinson's agent to give the lie to Mr.
Roupell on the hustings ? (Cheers.) Mr. Rou-
pell had been charged with giving his committee-
men three guineas a day, and he himself had been
told that he had received a cheque for 201. for
speaking at two or three meetings, when he had
never received twenty pence. (Cheers.) The fact
was that Mr. Wilkinson, by his votes in the House
of Commons, had forfeited the good opinion of the
elec!ors, and had sunk so low in their estimation
that Mr. Roupell would have been returned if he
had not expended 101. (Cheers.) Mr. Roupell
had been charged with forgiving his tenants their
rents, on account of their voting for him. (A
'voice—lt' a lie.) That was the proper term to
apply to the charge, and he believed all the others
to be equally unfounded. (Cheers.)
Mr. GRADY, in seconding the resolution, said
that such an aggregation of mortal lies had never
before been put together in a petition. (Cheers.)
It was monstrous to think that a man-.-one of the
electors of the borough—should be subjected to
such charges, when there was no foundation what-
ever for them; and it was perfectly ridiculous to
suppose that 9,000 votes could be brought_down
before a committee of the House of Commons.
(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr, F, BUTT, who had frequently interrupted

ing on a subject which concerned the public health
and safety, the E 63 urity which could be best afforded
to the public in the sale and preparation of -medi-
cines. A bill,had been lately introduced into the
House of .1-fords, .which had evidently been pre-
pared by parties not practically acquainted with the
subject. The- society had no wish to oppose any re-
strictions which it mightbe thought desirable to
place upon them-as vendorsof drugs and dispensers
of medicine, but their object was so to regulate
those restrictions as to prevent inconvenience to
the profession. :The council of the society had. had
the bill under their consideration, and they had ap-
proached the subject with a desire to see such
amendments made in the bill as would make it .ari
useful and desirable ineasu-e,.. but the farther they
proceeded the more theyf)und the difficulties of the
subject increase. The bill in the first place repealed
the Arsenic Act, which Its far as he was aware, was
an unobjectionable act, although it had not done all
that was expected of it. It then proceeded to enact
that a certain class of medicines which were consi-
dered poisonous should be kept Under lock and key.
They comprised a very large number of medicines in
daily use, and it would ,ob'ige.t.hem to h:ive a very
considerable portion of 'their stock under lock and -
key. Then there was a provision that n) poison.
should be, sold except to,a person of full age, in the
presence of a -witness of full age who was known to
the perscin selling the poison, and to whom thepur-
chaser was known, and unless there were a certifi-
cate signed by the clergyman of the parish, or a
legally qualified medical practitioner, or a justice of
the peace, that the poison might be safely supplied.
It was absurd to suppose that a chemist could not
prepare a fever mixture with a Little antimoniaf
wine in it without such a certificate as that. Then
there was no difference whatever made between
a qualified pharmaceutical chemist and a country
grocer who sold a few drugs at one corner of his
counter, but who was totally ignorant of their na-
ture. The bill then imposed a variety of coaditions
-most of which: were entirely impracticable, and,
if the chemist should transgress, the penalty might
be 201.' fcr the firat offence, and for -the second
offence -he was rendereßincapable of carrying on
business thereafter. If the bill' passed and was
carried into effect, it would shut every chemist's
shop within six mouths. There were some ex-
emptions in the bill; they were to be at liberty to
sell p Asoris at the written request of persons fol-
lowing certain trades, suohas painters, dealers in co-
lours, photographists, dyers paper-,tainers, electre-
platers, braziers, whitesiniths, and bird stuffers ; but
they were not to selfless than half a pound. Tons
these persons were allowed to deal with poisons,
while the chemist, who understood than!, was not
recognised. The quantity, however, to be sold was
to be not less than half a pound. Anything better
calculated to promote the very object which the bill
was intended to prevent could nut be imagine 1. A
man'wante I an ounce of oxalic acid; he was obliged
to buy half a pound. The remainder would be put
away in some-cupboard, or on. some shelf, and was
just as likely to be .taken for Epsom salts as not.
He regarded as equally futile the provision. that
1)o:sons, should b.) coloured -with indigo or soot.
That would entirely destroy the use of poisonous
substances for many purposes.
Mr. CULLEN said he thought some u,.e might be
made of the bill. It would be well that there should
be -some regulations. Persons who sold poisons
should haVe some qualifications ; they should not
sell at all to children and no. young apprentice
should be allowed to sell them. ,

Mr. DEAN moved the first resolution, to the effect
that the bill would afford no protection to the pub-
lic, and that it would throw useless obstacles in the
way of the sale of useful and necessary medicines.
Mr. SLIPPER seconded. He thought it would be
impossible to carry out the bill, which must have
beon framed by persons totally unaquainted with
the, business. The bill would increase the danger to
be apprehended from poisons. For instance,- the
brass finishers were in the habit -of keeping small
quantities of bi-chloride of mercury, and they gene-
rally bought just sufficient to make up a pint or
two of bi onze, and they did not keep the poison by
them, but if this bill passed they would be com-
pelled to buy half a pound at once ; and thus they
would frequently have large quantities of poison by
them. The same remarks would apply to the sub-
stances used in many other trades. -
The resolution passed unanimously.
Mr. COLLINS moved the next resolution, "That
in the event of the bill making further progress it
would be desirablethat a general special meeting of the
society should be convened, and that the local sec-
retaries be communicated with on the subject."
Mr. EDWAIiDS seconded, and said a meeting
Would be held at Liverpool on the subject this day.
The chemists there were anxious that active mea-
sures should- be tiken to prevent this bill passing
into a law. If it should pass it would throw great
difficulties in the way of the study of chemistry by
youths who now studied it as amateurs.
Mr. PEDLER agreed fiat the bill was impractic-
able, but they could not blind themselves to the
fact a great deal of accidental and intentional
poisoning had taken place in this country, and he
thought they should assist Government in carrying
a measure which would prevent those evils. He
suggested that a deputation should be appointed-to
wait on. Lord Campbell, whose bill it was, and
point out how it could be amended.
- Professor ROGERS thought the greatest safety lay
in the growing intelligence of chemists. The bill
would cause a great deal of inconvenience, and no
protection from poison.
Profess-r REDWOOD had no doubt the bill was
brought forward in good faith, and they all ad-
mitted that it. was desirable ••by legislation to pro-
mote the safety of the.public;without unnecessarily
infringing on the convenience of the public. Poi-
sons might be divided into two classes. In the
first class might be included such articles as oxalic
acid,
,essential oil of bitter almonds, and substances
of that description used in trades,' which might be
sold under some restrictions ; but subtle poisons,
such, as the vegetable alkaloids and prussic acid,
should only be sold by qnalified persons, or under
the supervision of medical practitioners. He thought
that pharmaceutical chemists should be placed on
the same footing as surgeons.
This resolution, like the former one, was unani-
mously agreed to.
The CHAUtMAN, in acknowledging a vote of
thanks, said if the society bad been consulted they
might have assisted in drawing up a bill which
would have answered the objects of the framers,
and would not have interfered unnecessarily with
the trade..

[ADvtwrisEmENT.] Holloway's - Pills Wonderfully
Successful in Cases of Chronic Rheumatism—Charles
Saunders, of Cheltenham, having experienced the bene-
ficial effect of this potent remedy, publicly testifies that
.for a very long period he was suffering with chronic rheu-
matism, the paroxysms of pain being most torturing,
attended with feverish and inflammatory symptoms, un-
til life became a burthen ; gradually failing, he resorted
to various remedies without, effect, when be was induced
.to give Holloway's Pills a trial; a remarkable change
soon manifested itself, the pain ceased, and he was re-
stored to perfect health.—Sold by all medicine vendors

as we know by

amounts almost to '''fa certainty. From Victoria
Land the homeward voyage is equally certain, but
by way, of Behring Strait,s,
" The means of accomplishing Lady Franklin's
object, the completion -of the search, and now
placed at my disposal, are ample.. The vessel is
a three-masted. screw schooner yacht, with fore-
topsail and topg ►llautsail ; the topsail reefs from
the deck ; she is decidedly a clipper—diagonally
built, 132 feet long over all, 320 tons builder's
measurement, with a light draught of water ;
trunk engines, of 30-horse power ; crew numbering
30 individuals, including an Esquimaux interpreter.
" Almost all will be old shipmates of my own in
former Arctic voyages ; they shall be fed snd clothed
as in the Government expeditions and receive
double pay. I therefore, anticipate no difficulty
in keeping-up precisely the same discipline as that
which we found. to answer so well in , the three
Arctic expeditions in which I have served. The
vessel is now in the handssof -Messrs. Hall; Aber-
deen, for the purpose of being fortified, .by means
of doubling, extra hold beams, stringers, &c., to
enable her to withstand ice-pressure ; and upwards
of 100 men are at work upon her. All Arctic men
agree in pronouncing her. the best adapted vessel
ever selected_ for- Arctic service. From, her sharp
midship section she will rise to ice-pressure, which
would crush in the sides of a wall-sided vessel. Her
speed under steam, when .deep, is expected to be
six knots.

" She will carry five weeks' fuel for full speed,
and two and a half years' provisions—being enough
to last us for a second winter, should we unavoid-
ably be detained. I believe I have nothing more
to add, except to say that the volunteer offers of
service from officers, seamen, and landsmen, are
very numerous ; and as I have already secured the
very best of ' materiel,' so I hope also to be fortu-
nate with the 'personel' of the expedition.
"Thus, having all the means, I'gladly accept the
responsibility ; and no efforts on my part shall be
wanting to secure the accomplishment of an object
so earnestly desired by the great and good of all
nations.
