Cure of Strictures of tne Urethra.
The aim of the author is t;, present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to fee these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the P':,pular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by -which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the

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 the 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

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The
recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has
raised op a new Th oblem 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 unaccountab'e 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 intone 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. jn the subject. Science and experience, founded
on professional stuay, nay e nappiiy uiseov ertu
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 pnctitioner 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 behad, price ls.,
or free by post for 13 stamps, from Mann, bookseller, 39,
