FOR Twenty Years have Messrs. GOSS and Co.been
successfully distinguished in the several classes of Pathology
to which they have directed their attention, and their numberless
Patients absolved from pain and woe, would, in common gratitude,
bear testimony to their treatment, but that the restored sufferer, in
proclaiming its merits, must publish his abjured errors, and expose
himself to

" The world's loud laugh,
Which scarce the firm Philosopher can scorn."
It is the consciousness of this, which emboldens the literary quack,
the Patientless self.clubbed Physician, the hireling scribbling as-
sassin " et id puma omne" to stigmatise the excellence he dreads,
and aim at the degradation of Practitioners who have been guilty
of success under the most appalling circumstances of discourage-
ment. Yet, do GOSS and Co. keep their own counsel, and in pre-
serving inviolate the secret of their confiding Patient, are content
" to do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame," despising the
attacks of " hungry" libellous Pretenders, will boldly pursue their
course, and invite the afflicted to partake the advantages of their
system. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely
fascinating sin, which the•poor victim of folly will too readily com-
prehend without further description, may find relief from his mi-
sery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost piece in the scale of
creation. The sufferer, who, from another extreme of indulgence
has with unbashful forehead wooed debility, may learn to renovate
nature, and repair his abused constitution. The man of pleasure,
exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea, however aggravated
by malpractice of the Quack, or the concealment from diffidence,
may find a certain restoration; and finally, in cases where the
delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to
despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she
can reasonably appreciate.
Remedies can be forwarded to any part of the world ; Patients
writing for the same, will please to enclose a Bank Note. Attend-
ance at home for consultation as usual.
