RENOVATED HEALTH.

TT has been too frequently the subjeti of just and
IT
general reprobation, that men destitute of the elements of
the medical art have offered themselves as candidates fdr
public patrOnage in the profession of physic. For the purpose
of doing justice to the result of our studies and experience, and
to prevent us from being classed among- those empirics whose
imprudent ptetensions haVe, unfortunately for society, been
too favourably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal
and enlightened a faithful statement of our pursuits and ac.
quirements. After having received a regular medical educa:.
tion as the pupils of Messrs. Grinded and whose
lecc-tures and practice we carefully attended, as professors and,
surgeons of the London Hospital •i ,we entered ourselves as
students in that justly celebrated school for medical acquire-
ment, the Royal College of Edinburgh, and wen': instructed
in the ditferent branches of anatomy, surgery, the theory and
prat-lice of physic, chemistry, midwifery, botany, ittc. &c.
by those eminent professors, Drs. Monro, Gregory, Black,
Hamilton, Duncan and Rutherford. We trust we shall not
be deemed presumptuous in saying that. our proficiency and
acquirements are not inconsiderable. Having tor a long series
of years made Veneieal 'Complaints, and the various diseases
of Debility, the particular objed of our studies and practice,
it will, we hope, be allowed that we have acquired superior
knowledge of their treatment and Cure. In slight and recent
cases of infeCtion a perfect re-establishment is completed in
the short period of two days'; and in those of the utmost in-
veteracy, where other praetition6s have failed of success, a
proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensures, to the
patient a safe and radical cure.

Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the
effects of A habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes, there are none more alarming or more
distressing than those deficiencies and debilities which Ile-
quently prevent or embitter the matrimonial state. To such
persons it must be a consolation to know that they may now,
by a new and infallible mode of treatment, be restoted to that
greatest of all human blessings, a strong, manly, and vigor-
ous constitution. In all cases of debility, from Whatever
cause arising., as well as in every species of venereal infection,
we may be consulted by patients of either sex with the great.
est secrecy and honour. Hours of oonsultation at home from
ten to three, amid from 6 in the evening till to at night.
Patients in the country ate requested to state the particit«
lars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c. &c. in.
closing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the same
will be given, or sent to any part of the kingdom. To ensure
that secrecy so essential to our undertaking, the postage of
letters may be added to the account for medicines.

HOUSE OF PEERS,

hic,,NDAY, JUNE 18.

• rn the .Commii tee of Privileges on the Roxburgh
Peerage,, the Lord Chancellor defiveted his opinion
,at'length, which was supported by Lord Visc. Mel-
t le, :,nd in part differed from by Lord Lauderdale.
he resolniinni'adopie.l were to the effett, that the
dais ;titers of Henry Lord Ker, and the heirs male
ot th?,i, bodies respeftitively, were entitled to succeed
to the Eiridom ot Roxburgh, &c. seriatim, and that
none of the parties had made good their claim to the
Throny of Roxburgh. The Report of the. 'Com-
mittee to be takedinto consideration by the House
on Wednesday morning:

The Drury Lane Theatre Bill was read a third
time, and passed with Amendments.
SLAVE TRADE.

Lord flot.l4NDtrusted; that 'the motion he was
about to submit, would meet wi!ll their LordShips'
coururrence. Whatever might tii•iginally have been
th, difference of opinion on the subje& of the abo-
lition of the Slave Trade, it must now be the ge-
neral wishit that other countries might be induced to
concur in that abolition which had been so happily
'eff7!‘,ted here. He was not disposed; at the present
moment,. to -propose. any censure upon Ministers ;
his only obje& \was, that a pledgeshould be given
by the House by an address to the Crown, praying
that further steps might be taken to induce foreign
Powers to abolish this nefarious traffic, More might
have been clone by his Majesty's Ministers, particu-
larly with respect to. Sweden. With reference 'also
to the Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, he thought
enough had not been done. There were only two
Pr“vinces-'of the Spanish dominions, into which,

upon the narrowest and. most miserable view of A
. 'mistaken policy, the importkiOn of Slaves could be
now of the least consequence, namely, Cuba and
Buenos Ayres ;. to these Provinces, .according to his
view of t.l.e subject, the abolition would be highly
beneficial, and to the rest it Must, so far as any
supposed mistaken interest was concerned, be a
matter of perted indifference. He was aware that
with respect to Portugal there was greater difficulty,
because the trade was carried on from one Portu-
guese port in Africa to another Portuguese port in
ti,e Brazils; and he willingly gave praise to Minis-
ters their proposition for purchasing the Portu-
guese territory in Africa, which would have placed
the subjea upon a total different footing. He
thought, however, 111.!t Some course might be
adopted to effe& an abo Ilion which was so highly
desirable, or at any rate to prevent'British capital
from being covered byo foreign flag in carrying on
thisinhuman traffic. It might ultitnately come to
be a question whether the law of nations, well un.,
derstood, did not authorize the treating all those
persons as, pirates who persisted, ,in defiance of all
, reason, justice, and huManity, if trading in hunian
flesh; but the mean
.time, no practicable induce-,
ment ought to b-c left untried, to bring about, by
common consent, fa general abolition of this dis-
graceful traffic. In the treaty which his Noble
Friend (Lord Auckland) and hienselllid negociated
with the Ainetican Ministers, an article had been
itittodeed with reference to this subject'. Parlia-
ment iiad net then hilly agreed to the abolition,
anu consequently an Artic:le upon the subjed could
ndt be introduced with force. and effect, as if
the abolition _bete had actually been sanalioned by
the Legi•lature. That treaty, it was known, was
mot ratified, but the American Legislature subse-
quently passed a law for the abolition of this trade.
He was of opinion, that an arrangement might be
adjusted in a satisfactory manner with the United
States of America, by which a mutual power of
executing the laws Of each coutitrymight be esta-
blihhed, by which ail the inhab'tants of the United
Stai..s, who ailed in defiance of the laws of their
own country in carrying on this trade,under a foreign
flag, should be liable to capture by British ships of
war, and all those persons here who carried on the
trade in a similar manner, and who were equally,
traitors to the laws of their country, ,shouldlae also
liable to capture by American vessels. He was ex-
tremely anxious that some pledge should be given
by the House of its desire for the general abolition
of this inhuman traffic, feeling that the. Govern-
ment in its applications to foreign powers for this
most desirable purpose would have those applica-
tions much strengthened by the determihation of the
people of- the United Kingdom expressed through
their legal organs, the two Houses of 'Parliament,
and being convinced that if once alt the. Powers of
Europe had agreed upon the abolition, of this abo-
minable trade, that no State would afterwards yen-.
ture again to establish it. He was the more anxious
upon this point, observing how little had been
dune, and how much there remained to be•done, to
effeCt an objet of so mach importance to humanity
and justice. Before lie sat down, he wished to do
Justice to. the Island of Jamaica, in stating that he
believed the planters of that 'island had, in general,
paid a strict obedience to the Ad of Abolition, and
had not attempted to evade it. His Lordship con-
cluded by moving ans Address to his Majesty,' pray-
ing that further steps might be taken induce Fo-
reign Powers to abolish this.trade.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objeiuion to the
motion ; he had alWays agreed upon the principle
obtoining the consent of other Powers to the abo-
lition of this trade, and every effort had been made
by Ministers to effect this objea. With respect to
Sweden, which was tie only apparently doubtful
point, the-laa was, that preVious to 'the circum-
stances which had' lately happened, a negociation
was on foot for a commercial treaty with that Power,
and it was thought better to introduce an article re-
lative to the abolition• of this trade into the treaty,
than to Make it the subje6fof a separate negociation.
He agreed with the Noble Lord with respect, to
the disposition of the planters of Jamaica to pay a
strict obedience to the Act of Abolition, and that be-.
ing the case, there, could be no difficulty as to the
other Islands.

The Address was agreed to nem. dis. and ordered
to be presented by the Lords with white staves.

DISSENTERS.

Lord Viscount StoM-otrrit adverted to the inten-
tion he had formerly expressed of bringing forward
in the course of the Session, some m(Aiun relative to
the mode of granting licenses Co Dissenting Teachers.,
He thought it a subjea considerable importance,

as under the present mode of executing the ALls, if
a person presented himself to the Justices at the
Quarter Sessions, and took the oath of allegiai
and subscribed the, declaration required by law, he
was entitled of right to a certificate, which entitled
him, whatever might be his age,' whatever might tc
his ignorance, or whatever might be his depravity,
to preach and teach any .doNtines he pleased, and
whiCh entitled. him also, whether be did preach or
teach or not,- to exempt;on from parochial offices,
and from service in the militia. This, his Lordship
considered as an abuse to which a remedy ought to
applied, He had, however, upon mature consider-
tion, determined to postpone till next Sessions, ,the
bringing forward any motion upon the subjed. He
wished it, Lt the same time, to be distirittly 'under-
stood, that he meant nothing hostile to :he Dissen-
ters. He considered the Tolration AN as the pal-
ladium of religious libeTty:and.had not the slightest
intention oft proposing any infr'.a3etnent of it.
Eat! STANHOPE" wished that die Noble Viscount
bad stated what his intentions were.
Lord Viscount SIDNIOUTH stited his obje& to be,
that no person should be entitled to a certificate at
the Sessions as a Preacher and Teacher,.nnless he
was appointed to a COngregation, and had certifi-
cates from some Members of the same religious
persuasion of his fitness for that station; and had at-
tained the years of discretion.
Lord HOLLAND Wa9 not aware of the existence of
any abuses which could induce him to consent to
lessen the operation of the Toleration AN.
