South Africa, &e." has just been given to the Public by,
Dr. Philip, Superintendent of the London Missionary So-
ciety Missions to the Cape. It is full of valuable informs-
. tion respecting the progress made by the Missionaries in
-instructing and Civilizing the Hottentots, Bushmen, and
Caffres, and presents a view of the Characters of these Peo-
ple very different from that which those interested in de-
grading them have falsely attributed to-them. Whosoever
Wishes to obtain accurate and authentic information on the
latter point, may turn with confidence to this Publication."

This day was. published, price 4s.
AN
-HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gbiets,
Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal
Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These
subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting
cases, togetherwith the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long
and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In
the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness,
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 Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various
Nervous Complaints, usually oharacterise the earliest stages
cf this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of
which 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 Teething from attempts at Self Cure.
