SELF-PRESERVATION.—A popular Essay on
Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious
habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de-
stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil-
ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished
objects of existence.
By Dr. LA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London.
Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh;
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Sic.
The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all tie cat
of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict moous
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequentlst sari
y abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Rep-ister (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the F,reat discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.
At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from 6
till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford-square.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the i
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-o ffice, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the p actionl regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—herald and Standard, N0v.12,1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Bath 09, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
--Dr. Culverw,ll has already established the reputation of
an ab'e physician ; he has now prowd himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-lerand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is on coming 0ut,.0f,.a

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

l'his wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst. - _ . -- -

structions for use, at lts., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
