IMPORTANT INFORMATION.--From calculation
by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,000
die annually in Great Britain of Consumption,
and at least 10,000 in London. The late William
Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer-
tained that every 20(11 person was ruptured.—
These complaints are truly alarming to every in-
dividual who uses the least exertion. It is also
incredible tl►e number that suffer trout a certain
Disease, by being improperly treated. it was

those circumstances induced Dr. Coopan to select
eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30
years' experience, to form a Medical licuird; and
since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa-
tients have been cured without confinement—
many of them after hospitals had failed.
Messrs. Coopen and Co. arc consulted at
Woodstock-street, Oxford-street ; and at Char-
lotte Home, Great Charlotte-street, opposite the
Rev. Rowland Hill's, drily, from eight rill eight.
Mechanics have advice gratis every evenin;z, from
six till eight ; and on Sunday mornings, until 12
o'clock.
