to die. His child was cured, and is now alive and well.

for making and successfully using this remedy, on receipt o
their names with stamped envelope for return postage.—

44PECTACLES.-SIGHT AND HEARING.-
DEAFNESS.—A newly-invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the least perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely re-
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public assemblies.
Every other kind of hearing instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent power. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assist-
snce.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York
Hotel.

EE ISSUE.
NOTICE.—The following invaluable works have just been
published, and are now beingissued watts to all who enclose
two stamps for postage, to No. 27, Alfred-place, Bedford-
square, London :
DR. WATSON'S NEW MEDICAL ESSAY on
SPERMATORRCEA and URINARY DEPOSITS,
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, with their EASY
DETEC LION and SELF CURE. Lately discovered and
now made public by the Author, with Cases and Diagrams,
showing the connection between the brain and the sexual
organs. Also prescriptions and the appropriate remedies
for the self treatment and cure of those special diseases, and
whether acquired in youth, manhood, or old age. By Dr.
Watson, F. it. A.S., London, Member of the Medical Society
of 'Rouen, the National Academy of Sciences, Paris, and
Fellow of the Imperial Institute of France, &c. &c. (vide
Diplomas and Medical Directory).
By the same Author,
SECRET DISEASES and their REMEDIES,
containing clear instructions, and certain safe and effec-
tual remedies, recently discovered for the self cure of nervous
debility, organic or local weakness, muscular relaxation,
langour, listlessness, depression, &c., by which all sufferers
may speedily, effectually, and privately cure themselves at a
trifling cost. Also showing how all impediments to marriage
may be effectually removed, with numerous illustrative cases
of parties who have been restored to health by following the
simple means laid down.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The
recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has
raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social
philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for
the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that
so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result irt sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
had passionately loved each other.
It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted
the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional
theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in
arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered
how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages
may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently
originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school,
and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by
medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce
many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state.
It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou-
sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them.
Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there
be not something in his past life which admits of the possi-
bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or
prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded
on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means
of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting
the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LA'MERT
is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical
Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to
the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to
youth and maturity. A fund of valuable suggestions and in-
formation is contained in his well-known work on the Cure
of Nervous and Physical Debility, which may be had, price ls.

sulted from 10 till 3, and from- 6 till 8, at his residence, 37,
