" 'We conscientiously recommend Dr. Graham's Treatise
to the public, and feel much pleasure in the certainty
that it will prove extensively useful. It is certainly very
far above the celebrated Buchan's."—Literary Chronicle,
October. _ _

" In the opinion of a respectable Physician, well known
in our connexion, it is enriched with much of all that
modern practice has ascertained to be valuable, and is not
only incomparaly superior to Buchan's, but also to every
similar Work in our language."—Wesleyan Magazine,
January.
" It will be found a very valuable acquisition to the
family library, and no medicine-chest, at home or abroad,
ought to be considered complete without it."—lmperial
Magazine. April.

MOCK AUCTIONS.—The auctioneer has ge-
nerally two or three accomplices in attendance,
who mingle amongst the company, and pretend-
ing to examine the articles on sale, praise them
exceedingly, as being " excellent goods, really
dirt cheap," &c.; while another stands by to bid
against the real customers, and to let nothing be
knocked down below a certain price, so that the
auctioneer is safe from loss. The pretended
purchases are frequently made by a female, who
occasionally moves off' with her apparent bar-
gains, and conveys them, by another entrance, to
the back part of the premises, to be again ex-
posed for sale. The unwary customer is often
induced to purchase by a promise, that if the ar-
ticles are not approved they will be changed, if
presented within a certain time. But if the un-
lucky dupe finds he has purchased a case of
razors like those in the talc, made to sell, not to
cut—a watch that elstinately refuses to go, or,
going, keeps time like the musicians in a country
choir—or a pretty looking tea-chest that tumbles
to pieces on his table—when he calls on the
auctioneer to perform his promise, he is offered
an article equally worthless, in exchange, and has
no alternative but to put up with the loss.—
