DR. KAHN on MARRIAGE.—A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 45th) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, &c., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of Pie organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called "popular
works" on the subject.
Price One Shilling, free by post for 13 stamps, or in a sealed
envelope 22 stamps, either from the publisher, J. Allen, 20,
Warwick-lane. or from the Author's address, 17, Harley-
street, Cavendish-square, London.

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 in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
had 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. Nave 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's sought. Dr. LA'M ERT
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 is.,
