was opened here on Wednesday last, by the Right
Honourable Lord HERMAND. _ _

William Rowan, weaver in Nethertown Holm, in the
parish of Kilmarnock, accused of murder, and failing
to appear, sentence of fugit4tion was pronounced
against him.
In the case of Robert Carr, weaver in Maybole, ac-
cused of sedition, the Court found the indictment not

thet e'n as might seem proper to him.

maker, accused of housebreaking and theft, were found

A journeyman tailor, of the name of Fenton, in
Rosemary•lane, in a dispute with another man about
a public-house score, thrust a sharp mutton bone

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
THE Advantage the Public must always derive
from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more
dearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success whiCh has I
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Messrs.
Cu It RI e and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of theft investi •
gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to
mercury in the cure of.that komplaint ; it is sufficient to observe
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet It does not in the least
injure the constitution; on the contrary, it enovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre-
serves that constitution in Its primitive state, but restores a weak
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour.' Number.
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, Its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess
of conjugal or illicit plessure, or from the more insidious, though
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. Anildat the melancholy variety of
disorders whiCh are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to suck a state of weakness as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings,
strong, manly and vigorous constitution.
In all cries of debility; deficiency, from whatever cause arising,
as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs. Currie
and Co. may be enasuked by patients of either sex with the
greatest secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107, Hatten
Garden. Patients in the country, describing the particulars of
their complaints, by letter post paid, enclosing r Bank note, will
have the necessary medicine sad advice sent to any part of the
kingdom. No. 107, HattonGarden.

discerned by involuntary nocturnal emissions ; pains in the back,

TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
No. 9, NEW BRIDGE-S I'REET, LONDON!
SIR—I consider it but an act of justice due th) the
merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PILLS, to COllllllWACatr
to you the following Cure, v hich has recently been perfortne.l
by them :—An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out
-of an old Venereal Complaint <attended by a complication ot dis-
orders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton. cud
although he had the best medical advice which cuuld be obtained,
and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured
which seemed to suit his case, or to do him any service; he rt.
mained in a most reduced and pitiable situation for two years,
unable to follow his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even
to stand on his legs; in fatt no one who knew him ever supposed
it possiblefor him to recover. He was advised at last to try your
LEAKE'S PILLS—he did so, adhering strictly to the direttia•s
given with them—he had not taken more than CNVO boxes, before
he found an alteration for the better; this encouraged him to
proceed and by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite
and strength gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as
any men I know. Yuu are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to
in fur a confirmation of the above account, if it Amid be
dok.bted. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant.

DR GILBERT's VEGETABLE 21,."14-•
SCORBUTIC DROP*, in batt!es at and a sinalla
size at as. 0.

The variety of diseases that prevail at this season of the year,
generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitiated
stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest confi-
dence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalkd
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and cure
for numerous diseases, part ieularly the land and sea scurvy, cancers,
kins's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any part of the
body, leprosy, eruptions after the small pox or measles, inlantma-
tion in the eyes, St. Anthony's fire, rheumatism and rheumatic
gout, slow, nervous, and interti.itting fevers, and all the long train
of disorders which attend the scurvy internally.
Remarkable cure of-a cancer in the face, whereby great part of
the nose was consumed, the face and eyes dreadfully it•flamed,and
the head distracted with pain, which facts were verified on the
oath of Wm. Croitt. 'The following is the copy of the affidavit
taken at the Guildhall, Plymouth, the 31st day of December,l6o7.
—Thomas Fates, Esq. Mayor.
I Wm. Croitt, late of the borough of Saltasb, but now of the
borough of Plymouth, in the conaty of Devon, clO voluntarily
make oath, that I was afflicted with a cancer in my face for up-
wards of ten months ; L had a very painful wound seated in my
nose, the greatest part of my face was dreadfully inflamed, ati en,i, d
with the most acute pain that could be endured—my head a,s
also distracted with pain, and my eyes so severely affected that I
could not bear the light, and obliged me to sit whole days toge
ther with my head on my knees or some other support. During
my affliction I tried various medicines, as well from the faculty as
others, without receiving the least relief, and the disease increased
daily; worn out with pain, no prospect of relief, and having
exhausted the earnings of many hard years labour, I was almost
reduced to a state of despondency, when I was advised to rake
trial of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscorbutic Drops : the strong
recommendation of those who had received cures from the medi-
cine, gave me hope Jr would succeed, and this hope was realized
by the time I had taken the second bottle the pain entirely left
me, the wound daily got better, and by the time. I had taken five
bottles, I gained a perfect cure. Witness my hand,
WILLIAM CROITT.
