" We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma!ority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a less to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
Impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
Indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.

" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which arc. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the 'valuable hints it conveys to those
Who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,
among others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many
questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even
to the most confidential frieqd.' —Stafford Gazette.
"Long experienee in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherte
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medicalprofession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; trace4nle
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and 10a1
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none but
genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented
smallness of profit.
• In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now
imported under the name :of Tea, there never was a period when
the public required, with a view to both Health and Economy, to be
more careihrin the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
merit.
The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY
PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,
&c., which will be sent Post Free, on being applied for; but the fo]
