OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" We regard the work before us, "` 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 losst o know.
Wesnust, 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."
—Age and Argus.
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 stale, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careffil perusal."—Era.

EFFECT OF FULLER'S EARTIL—A man at Bath,
who rents Fuller's earth pits, excavates them, and sells
the produce to the cloth manufacturers in the neigh-
bourhood, stated, a short time since, that, in excavating
this earth, he had a good deal of the small at the mouth
of the pit, which, finding it to be in his way, he distri-
buted it over the adjoining field, in which there was a
young crop of barley and seeds, and that wherever it
fell the crop was surprisingly flourishing.—Sherborne
Journal.
