" We regard the work before us, -4 The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a !oast o 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 suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

" The ,Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, 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
fai i to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

THE FROST AND THE PARKS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The frost during yesterday was considerably dimi-
nished in severity, but there was by no means any ap-
pearance of a thaw. The thermometer at the Royal
Humane Society's Receiving-house in Hyde-park, and at
the Society's marquees in Regent's-park and St. James's-
park, exhibited 30 degrees early in the morning, but
ascended between twelve and two o'clock as high as 34
degrees ; yet last evening the mercury receded to 30
degrees, with the wind still N.E., but more calm. The
atmosphere was hazy, and the barometer 30,1, indicating
slight change.
The ice on the Long-water and round pond in Ken-
sington-gardens was very strong and in good condition,
and on them during the day the number of skaters was
upwards of 2,000. On the north bank of the Long-
water the Skating Club yesterday morning had their
marquee erected, and several of the members skated on
the ice during the afternoon. No accidents, we are happy
to say, occurred.
The ice in the centre of the Serpentine is not above
two inches in thickness, and at the aides it is not near
so thick. It is, therefore, still considered most danger-
ous. Notwithstanding, however, the numerous cautions
given by the Royal Humane Society's icemen, about
2.500 skaters ventured thereon, and the banks were
thronged by respectably and fashionably-dressed persons.
The drive on the north side exhibited also a very fair
display of fashionable equipages, considering the state of
the weather and the advanced period of the year. One
accident only occurred durinf, the day, and that took
place about ten minutes to three o'clock, when a man
named William Somers, who was engaged on the north
bank of the Serpentine at the east end in cutting the ice
for removal to the ice-wells of Buckingham Palace for
the use of her Majesty, became immersed in ten feet
water, but was speedily extricated by a fellow labourer
by means of a boat-hook before the Humane Society's
men could reach him. He was immediately conveyed
by iceman Robinson on an ice sledge to the receiving-
house, where he was attended by Dr. Woolley, and
placed in a hot bath, and afterwards in a warm bed. The
unfortunate man appeared in a wretched state of poverty
and disease, and Mr. Alderman Wilson and Mr. Oldham,
who witnessed the accident, left at the receiving-house a
sovereign towards buying him clothes better adapted for
the season.

The ice in the Regent's-park is in quite a sound con-
dition, and is from two inches to two inches and three
quarters in thickness. The number of skaters was be-
tween 4,000 and 5,000, and the banks of the ornamen-
tal water were lined by persons letting skates for hire.
No accidents occurred.
The ice on the lake in St. James's-park was yesterday
about two inches in thickness, and rather less dangerous
than on the preceding day, but by no means safe.
During the day there were several thousand skaters, but
no accidents whatever. At an early hour yesterday
morning Superintendent Williams attended, and directed
the men in the operation of cutting away the ice in the
vicinity of the recent accident, in order to ascertain if
there were (as reported) any bodies beneath the ice.
Four men were engaged during the greater part of the
day constantly using the drags, and dredging. Mr. Wil-
liams's newly-invented floating drag for creeping under
the surface of the ice was also tried. No bodies, as has
been already stated, were found ; but a hat, with a black
crape band, is which were two handkerchiefs one blue
and white, and the other a lady's white handkerchief,
marked "W. E. H., 5." The two icemen, Joseph
Knight and Charles Clapstone, for their great courage
and praiseworthy exertions on Sunday, have been libe •
rally rewarded by the Royal Humane Society.
Arrangements are now in progress for building new
lodges in the inclosure for the park-keepers, and it is
intended, by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
that they shall be so constructed as to form residences
for these keepers, who attend by night as well as by day.
The Thames is still clear of ice, and consequently the
navigation is uninterrupted. The docks, though par-
tially frozen, do not offer any obstruction to the move-
ments of the shipping, barges, &c. Last evening the
thermometer at six o'clock, at the Dockmaster's•office,
St. Katharine's, stood at 32 degrees, freezing point,
being four degrees higher than on the preceding evening
at the same hour. There was a fresh breeze during the
day about N.E. The atmosphere had a gloomy ap-
pearance.

ADVERTISEMENT.—An astonishing cure of an in-
ward cancer in the lower part of the stomach.—Mrs.
Quinn, residing at No. 4, Back-lane, St. George's-in-
the-East, had been in three hospitals for about eighteen
months, and was discharged from them as incurable.
She was in this state when the ointment was rubbed in
all over the regions of the diseased parts, as salt is forced
into meat, which effected a cure as speedily as though the
inward part had been palpable to the eye. Any internal
sores, tumours, aches, or pains may be cured in the like
manner. Sold at Professor Holloway's establishment,
244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by
almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout
the civilised world.
