This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
4rtunately happens that the unhappy detim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA:MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

I THE FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER.

(From Le Follet.)
The winter fashions are no longer an uncertainty ;
our most celebrated couturieres have decided upon
the principal forms for robes and redingotes. The
accessories in trimming offer.' an endless' variety to
meet the taste both of wearer and artiste. Bodies are
still worn long waisted, more or less pointed, or
rounded in front; the skirts are very full, rather
longer behind than in front ; the sleeves long, or half
long, small at the top, and enlarging towards the
bottom; in the Greek or pagode style. Such is the
foundation of our winter costumes, which will be
found to resemble closely those worn for come time
past. We must add, that the body a Louis XV , with
its multiplicity of ornaments upon the front, narrow
frills of lace, ruches of ribbon, bias chicorees, bows
of all kind in velvet, mixed with bouillennes of tulle,
are each resorted to, according to caprice or good
taste, and are the distinguishing characteristics of the
bodies a la Dubarry, a la Montespan, a la Valliere, &c.
It appears that the flounces will be worn deeper and
fuller than they have lately been made ; tall and
slender figures will hail this alteration with pleasure.
Narrow ribbons, fringed or scolloped, with a thread
which can be drawn to form it into a frill, are used in
a thousand different ways as trimmings for dresses—
the ribbons, with fringe on each edge, are found very
serviceable for ruches, heading of flounces, brands-
bourgs, or echelle upon the front of the skirts, &c.
We have already spoken of the great success f the
oriental fringes as employed on some magnificent cos-
tumes. Indeed, nothing can be more splendid than
the stars of gold, or gold and silver mixed with the
network of white silk, or prettier and more graceful
than the garniture of passementeries, with fringes
a grelots. We must notice one composed of a fringe
about ten inches deep, forming a light network of
black chenille, spotted with small grelots of jet,
which hang from the chenille network ; this fringe
terminates with long tassels of chenille and jet. We
have seen a black velvet dress, destined for a lay at
Madrid, trimmed with two rows of this fringe, the
small jacket having a narrower one to match round
the bottom. These fringes are likely to become much
in request for fancy dresses this winter.
Ribbons seem to dispute with flowers for pre-
eminence as ornaments for the coiffure ; they are
disposed with so much elegance that we wonder not
at the demand for these ornaments. Among the most
graceful and most fanciful coiffures, we cite the
Maintenon ; this coiffure is formed of a half veil of
black lace, with rounded corners, which fall on each
side, veiling the neck and shoulders ; it is fastened
upon the head with a bouquet of roses, mixed with
some long-faded foliage, which offers an agreeable
contrast to the more brilliant freshness of the rose.
fhe diplomacy of female taste that originated this be-
coming coiffure is strikingly revealed in this melange
of contrast and harmony.
Morning capotes made of biases of satin, in two
shades of the same colour, are still worn ; green and
ruby are the favourite colours, but the prettiest
capotes are those made of velvet and satin, the front
being of velvet and the crown of satin; covered with
several rows of deep lace ; to render these more
elegant they are sometimes trimmed with a small
bunch of feathers on each side of the same shade
as the capote ; the inside is trimmed with coques of
ribbon, of three or four different shades to match the
capote._

For full-dress bonnets, light colours are chosen,
such as white, pink, or blue, &c., trimmed with
fringed feathers to match ; cholla of ribbon, with a
small rosebud in the middle, covered with blonde, are
placed inside.
In speaking of coiffures we omitted to mention that
application of Honiton lace is still in great request,
especially when ornamented with white laurel and
light leaves, bunches of small cherries, or tufts of ge-
ranium mixed with other flowers. The coiffures of
blonde are still much worn with broad ribbon, form-
ing a scarf over the shoulders.
The petit bords, or head-dresses, are trimmed mitt'
flowers, feathers, or long flowing ribbons. They are
made of crape or velvet, and their vogue seems greater
than ever.

To return to the bonnets, we would mention ano-
ther of velvet, of Chambord green, the front of velvet,
the crown of satin, covered with narrow black lace;
choux of different shades of green, with rosebuds or
fl ewers in the middle, are placed inside. These are
called colimacons,

We have seen a full-dress bonnet of white satin,
covered with an open stamped terry velvet, also
white, trimmed with lace and small feathers ; the
curtain to Hai* bonnet is very deep, and of a graceful
form.

Among all the bonnets for this season, the first to
he noticed are those of felt, a material so light and
supple as to render it capable of being made into
the most elegant forms of the present fashion. We
observed the Princess M—al ways the first to give coun-
tenance to any happy innovation, wearing one of these
new felt bonnets of the catural colour, trimmed with a
long fiat feather, placed across the bend and falling
very low on the side. This feather was fastened with
a bow of velvet and satin, of the same colour as the
felt; small pink flowers with feather foliage inside.
A very pretty lady who accompanied the Princess,
and was in mourning, wore a black felt bonnet with
a casoar feather and black velvet ribbon ; it had
small jet flowers, mixed with black velvet leaves in-
side. A very young lady also wore a white felt
bonnet trimmed on one side with a single white
rose with long velvet foliage ; the inside was
trimmed with bows of white satin, and strings to
match. All of these were beautiful, and left no doubt
of the success of the new felt in this winter's fashion.
Some very pretty bonnets are made of violet satin ;
each drawing is intercepted by a narrow black lace
full;asmallbe side ;
h of

barbe of black lace, mixed with toques of violet satin

Another of pink terry velvet of a very open shape,
with a long pink feather placed round the front and
across the head, falling on the left side, whilst on the
other the feather is fastened with a ribbon bow; the
inside has tufts of pink blonde, drawn up to give the
effect of a large rose.

A capote of satin, of Chambord green, trimmed
with a water flower, with long foliage of very narrow
velvet ribbon of different shades of green, producing
the pretty effect of a plume. A light foliage of green
velvet, mixed with green and white blonde, inside.
Short veils are more than ever in fashion this win-
ter. Lace is much in demand. Chantilly, Brussels,
Valenciennes, Alencon, are each in request for veils,
shawls, scarfs, cannezouts, sleeves, flowers—in fact,
for whatever purpose this elegant ornament can be
used.

In the houses where may now be seen hundreds of
dresses of all descriptions, we have particularly ob-
served some evening dresses of organdie, with double
skirts, worked with straw-coloured silk. The design
of this embroidery on the upper skirt is in stripes,
which reach up to the waist ; the under skirt has a
wreath much narrower, and leaving an interval be-
tween the embroidery on the two skirts; the body
had a berthe fastened with a bow of straw-coloured
ribbon.

A robe of moire antique of pearl grey, with broad
satin stripes; the sides of the skirt are trimmed with
lozenges of grey satin, edged Nsith narrow blonde
fulled on. The body, a Louis XV., had the front
piece trimmed with eight crossings of very narrow
satin creves, edged with narrow blond*? ; the sleeves,
which reach to the elbow, are trimmed to match, and
have deep falls of blonde. A bouquet of roses in the
middle of the body. The coiffure is of long foliage
of pink velvet.
A redingote of Bros de Tours, of Chambord green,
is edged with a plain satin of the same shade. This
border is placed round the pagodes sleeves.
Another robe of pink and white broche droquet
had three flounces, with a broad satin line forming
festoons.

The small mousquetaires vests, made of velvet or
satin, in green, dark blue, or ruby, lined with white
quilted satin, with revers turning hack over the chest,
ar,cl at the bottom of the sleeves, are much more
elegant, as they permit the display of the splendid
chemisette.
With all these costumes, the guimpes of lace, and
the sleeves with simple pagodes of Alencon, or point
d'Angleterre, are the seals of elegance and distinc-
tiun.
