TIME VERSUS LIFE.
An Enigma; attempted to be solved by observation on the
three leading phases of human existence—
YOUTH—MANHOOD—AGE.
rho iP.concealed imprudence of Youth, the irresolution of Manhood
as prematurely heralding the advance of Age—on Indigestion and
Mental Irritation which too surely ripen the seeds of mortality ; also
on the moral c • rnmand of the Passions, and on the probable result,
when they shall have surrendered to the invasion of error and indis-
cretion, viz.:—Diseases of the Urethra, &c., and on other Disquali-
fications to Marriage.

FXTRACTS FROM TIIE FUBLIC PRESS.

Surr.—" The work before us gives in simple and perspicuous terms
such directions for the presorvation of beak h as are most likely to be
serviceable to the coma unity.
BELL'S MESSENGER.—" This is a useful medical work; the best
portion appears to us to b^ that which treats of the obstruction to
natural functions in the later portion of life. We recommend the
work to our readers as at once scientific and practical."
Scrinev TIMES.—" Dr Crucefix has spoken in the language of a
scholar, a gent'eman, and a friend. The following passage should
be remembered by all who wish for the general good of mankind :
Morality suffers sadly by concealment of what, if known and un.
derstood, would operate as a guard against crime."'
SATIRIST.--" The large amount of useful information, devoid of
the incumbrance of pedantic mystification, favourably distinguishes
this work from most treatises of the same description."
AGE AND ARGUS.—"It•IS a work that must be read with interest
by both sexes, and particularly those who are suffering from indi-
gestion and mental irritation, We can honestly recommend the
perusal of it to our readers."
ERA. —" It is written in a plain and easy style, from which may
be obtained many valuable hints on the method of retaining the in.
estimable blessine—Health."

DEATH UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES OF DESTITUTION.—
Yesterday evening Mr. Payne .held an inquest in St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, on the body of Christopher Andrews,
aged 74, formerly a master jeweller of Berkeley-street,
Clerkenwell. It appeared in evidence, that a few years
since deceased was a tradesman of respectability and good
business, but through a falling oft in his line of trade he had
become exceedingly indigent, and latterly his average earn-
ings did not exceed 2d. a day. In consequence, he and his
wife were involved in great privation, and their chief food
was a scanty portion of dry bread and potatoes. On Friday
last the only nourishment they could procure was three-
halfpenny worth of rice and a little bread. In consequence
of this state of privation, he became subject to Ste, and though
he Was urged to apply for parochial relief he would not do
so, having a strong antipathy to be succoured in that way.
On Saturday evening he left home to dispose of a small
pOrtion of gold cuttings, in order to purchase some neces-
saries. To do so he entered the shop of Mr. Tirrell, refiner,
of 54, Barbican, and whilst waiting he fell on the shop floor
through exhaustion. He was picked up in a state of insen-
sibility, and conveyed to the above hospital, but on his
arrival was pronounced dead by Mr. Shaw, 'the house-
surgeon, who attributed death to natural causes, arising from
exhaustion consequent on the want of things necessary to
sue-join life,—Verdict, Natural death." •
