TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets,

the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing
state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates
in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects,
while Conduniptiong, loss of Muscular Power, and various
Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages
of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of
winich a mode of treatment, the result of long and success-
ful practice, and at once safe, speedy, and effectual, is
adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the
evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure.

HOOPING COUGH CURED WITHOUT INWARD
MEDICINE.
IF consequence of the beneficial effects of
1 ROCHE'S EMBROCATION for the cure of that
distressing complaint, the HOOPING COUGH, his Ma-
jesty's Letters Patent were granted to J. Roche, to secure
to him his valuable composition.
Many thousands of children are cured annually by this
remedy ; on the first attack, an immediate application of
the EMBROCATION will prevent the complaint taking
any hold of the constitution, and a few times may com-
pletely cure. In the most obstinate cases, perseverance
will produce the desired effect ; and no remedy can be so
we" calculated for children as this, for it requires no me-
dicine to be taken inwardly.
In no txise can this medicine be genuine unless signed en
she wrapper, " J. ROCHE."
Price 4s. and 1/. 2s. per bottle.

CAPTAIN CLAPPERTON.

The following particulars of the death of Captain Clap-
perton, R.N., we have just received from the mouth of
Richard Lander, his servant, who attended him in his hut
moments :

It was on the 13th of April, 1827, at six o'clock, in the
morning, that this intrepid traveller breathed his last, at
the city of Sockatoo, about 15 days' journey from Tim-
buctoo. His illness lasted 32 days. The complaint by
which he was lost to the world was dysentery. He ap-
pears to have been perfectly aware of his approaching fate,
was quite resigned to it, and died in the arms of his ser-
vant, without a struggle. The Captain was thirty-eight
years of age.
It is consoling to know, that in the trying circumstances
in which he was placed, oppressed by consuming illness, in
a foreign land, he, did not lose sight of the value of the con-
solations of religion. Every Sunday morning he caused
Lander to read to him the prayers used in the service of
the Church of England, and frequently occupied himself in
other acts of devotion.

When the Captain was no more, our informant washed
the remains of his master, and wrapped a dean sheet round
his body, which be subsequently enclosed in a blanket, and
the who'e in a piece of matting, coffins not being known in
that country.
The body was then carried on the back of a camel and
conveyed to a grave which had been prepared for its recep-
tion by Lander and some of the Captain's black slaves, in
a small garden in the village of Jaungany, rive miles to
the south-east of Sockatoo. The camel was led by one of
the slaves. The remains were followed to their last rest-
ing-place by four others, and by the faithful domestic from
whom we have obtained this account. On lowering the
body into the grave, the union-jack was waved over
it by Lander, and the burial-service was then read by the
same individual.

While he remained at Sockatoo, the natives treated him
with the greatest respect. During his last illness his
wants were but imperfectly provided for, owing to the bar-
barous state of that society in which he was destined to
close his career. Chicken-broth, and. boiled milk and
rice, were the articles of sustenance which were supplied.
Beer or wine was not to be obtained.

Major Laing was reported to have perished in December,
1825. This is fully refuted, as a letter was received by
his wife at Tripoli, dated Feb. 1826, from a village but a
short distance from Timbuctoo. In that letter the Major
apologized for its brevity, which, he added, was caused
by a sabre wound which he bad received on the back of
his right hand.

The late Captain Clapperton's servant arrived on Thurs.
day at Portsmouth, in the Esk sloop of war, and from him
we learn that Captain Clapperton died on the 13th of
April, 1827, at Sockatoo, where he had been detained
for five months, in consequence of the Sultan Bello 01
Sockatoo not permitting him to proceed, on account of tin
war between him and Bornou. He had waited there in
hopes of getting permission to go on to Timbuctoo, and
lived in a small circular clay but belonging to the Sultan's
brother, the size of which was about 50 yards each way.
lie was attacked with dysentery, and latterly fell away
rapidly, and became much emaciated. Two days befori
he died he requested his servant to shave him, as he was too
weak to sit up. On its completion, he asked for a looking
glass, and remarked he was doing better, and should cer-
tainly get over it. The morning on which he died hr
breathed loud, and became restless, and shortly afterwards
expired in his servant's arms. He was buried by him at a
small village (Jungsli) five miles to the S.E. of Sockatoo, ,
and followed to his grave by his faithful attendant and
five slaves. The corpse was carried by a camel, and the
place of interment marked by a small square house of clay,
erected by his servant, who then got permission from the
Sultan to return home. He accordingly journied to Bada-
gry, which occupied him seven months, and was take❑ oil
the coast by Captain Laing, of the merchant brig Maria,
of London, in January, 1828, to whom he expresses him-
self most grateful for his attentions and the preservation
of his being. lie states that be nearly lost his life while
at Badagry, from the Portuguese setting the minds of the
natives against him, and that they attempted to administer
poison to him in his drink. He landed at Cape Coast,
whence he was brought by the Esk.
When travelling to Badagry, he lost four horses and two
asses, from their being exposed to the sun, and fording the
rivers, which were much swollen by the rains.
He also confirms the account that Mtn° Park was lost
on a reef of rocks which runs from the island of Busa Col
Boussa), in the Niger. Park got on the reef, and was
unable to get off. When the natives saw him, they came
down and fired on him and his party. Three black slaves
and two white companions threw themselves in despair in
each other's arms into the river, and perished. Captain
Clapperton's servant also states, that Park's son died at
five days' journey in the interior from Accra, in January
last.—Literary Gazette.
