" Demos et placens uxor."—Hon.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS " tho gay to-morrow of the mind" is
ensured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend
'hip," it, a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association
with celestial intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of
marriage, it becomes an impressive duty, not only to regulate the
p.is.ions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention .are attributable many of those hapless instances
which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, sboulr
also impress bins with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminise the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the pros
nature infatuation of youth, too frequently compromise the natural
.hgnity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonised suffered
more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address
ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular strength--felicity; nor
will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the sue.
pension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for
the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can.be strength.
ened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation
of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily,
and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel tke unfeeling empyric
frevitthe pGsition so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general
prlnctples with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable
litegrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the staffer-
log cemmenity of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial
life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for per-
sonal consultation ; and letters from tbe country are immediately an-
swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
descrihing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of
the world, however distant. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine
will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.
