THE L ATE GALES.

Winter has lately roused himself,
As often he arouses,
And scattered brick-bats to the winds,
Stacks, chimney-pots, sad houses.
The wind, to quote Tom Dibdin's words,
Has proved a blustering railer ;
11Iany on shore have proved it so,
And many a hapless sailor.
I pitied those with shivering forms,
And ruddy cheeks and noses,
Who had not raised the wind to bay,
An over-coat of Moses.

The coats of Moses, well designed,
And firmly put together,
Are jest the very things to suit
Stich boisterous windy weather.

Since, therefore, Marcit is marching on,
When winds again will bluster,
March for a coat to Moses' Mart,
Where thousands daily muster.

'Tis clear we shall have whiter yet,
And hence would I advise you,
To try the Winter over-costs,
Which Moses' Mart supplies you.

Tkis work contains au accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
tertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap ,lyinf, to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so ,requently, but erro-
neously entertained that these corni:lalnts are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent he: seeking •or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA lIERT 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
sliseues.
