REVIEWS OF TUE WORK.

-- •• -- - • • "Curtis on Manhood.--This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 185t1.
"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, 1855.

Dr. CURTIS may be consulted as usual, either by letter or
personally, at his residence, as above. The efficacy and
harmless nature of the remedies employed by him having
been demonstrated by the most complete success during a
practice extending over a period of twenty-five years, nervous
sufferers can rely that the utmost skill and experience will be
made available in the treatment of their cases.

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 tics, it appears unaccountable that
so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
bad passionately loved each other.
If 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
bow 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's 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.,
or free by post for 13 stamps, from Mann, bookseller, 39,
Cornhill ; or direct from the Author, who may be daily con-
sulted from 10 till 3, and from 6 till 8, at his residence, 37,
