SUPERIOR BEAVER HATS.
CHARLES COVINTON begs to express
f his gratitude to his numerous friends and the public,
f:r the very liberal patronage with which Le has been
yeured ; and he takes this opportunity of stating, that in
%14e9uenee of the increased demand for his NEW and
' be SHORT-NAPPED BEAVER HATS,
"e hada it absolutely necessary to remove to more extensive
r4sn'isee 132, CHEAPSIDE, two doors from Gutter-
no, which he has opened with a splendid variety of shapes
1.14 d fashion, whereby the purchaser cannot fail to find a
at ja every respect suited to his taste.
C. C. again calls the attention of his friends, and the
Public to his IMPROVED SHORT-NAPPED BEAVER
AT ; and he feels confident, that from its great lupe-
„,°titY to every other Hat, it only has to be known, to be
generally approved of. It is well adapted to every kind
o' Wear, being perfectly water-proof, and in consequence
I. a Peculiar method of disposing the Nap or Beaver (which
tt remarkably short and thick), will not be affected by the
d(Tugboat weather. This Hat is light, and of astonishing
rabilitY ; and although elastic, as a good Hat ought to
retains its shape to the last.

Carpe diem
Be promptly wise.
WHEN Science began to explore the com-
,• plicated machinery of Man, she was. speedily
--"tigied in a labyrinth of mysterious confusion, from
intellntual perseverance alone emancipated her.
Ignorance and empyricism, however, still oppose their veno-
ln"s
hostility, and the prejudice of weak minds, in some
i_neasure, encourages their audacity. As Truth is to False-
ird—sn- may our public statements be compared with
eh: unqualified pretensions, and to expose their fallacies,
Hie have net hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners in
a class of Diseasee whichendanger the
of Nature. To be brief: of the London
College
of Surgeons, can mystic evolutions
we are Members
establish the integrity of our
Character upon the success of Twenty Years' practical
experience, and announce the grateful testimony of those
in whom long suffering had newly extinguished every hope
of relief.
ite We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilus, from
incipient symptoms to the remotest stages, aiarecterised
by every doubt, and whatever malignancy. The intricate
and much neglected diseases of the Urethra have been
carefully and studiously considered, as have also those
delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Fe-
male Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially
noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating
tyranny
of a tropical atmosphere or the natural bias of consti-
t'utioa—the imprudence of gaiety —or the more alarming
l'esults of a propensity to practices " which shun the
light;' the progress of which is marked by a gradual
dereliction of the animal powers. Te all who are thus
efoirre"latanced, and more especially to such as are aspirants
to-„„e"aubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Corn_
