Ftna.—Friday se'nnight the buiiness of the Assi-
ses of Waterford was interrupted by an alarm of tire,
which commenced at the west side of the Court gaol,
ind at the distance of ten or eleven houses from it.
Its origin was accidental. The houses in that neigh-
bourhood being covered with thatch, sixty of them
were consumed in the space of an hour. One life was
lost ; a boy about four years old.

These facts were proved in evidence.
Mr. LAWEs, for the prisoner, contended, that there
was no fraud proved in this case ; the brother of the
prisoner should have been brought forward to prove
dint he had never given authority for his name being
used in this transaction ; and that the tradesmen
should have inquired before they furnished the goods
whether the Bills would be accepted, otherwise they
furnished them at their own risk.

The Court, however, were of opinion, that this
was a fraudulent transaction, and the Prisoner was
remanded.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Fritts. a,_n
and Responsibility deviate from the General System by
the selection of A parneular.branch, the sanction of long continued
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we &No ed our practice to the exclusive
treatment of two disorders. and the successful result of bur pL,3
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as tar as we are able, ti:ra-
vages of those complaints which are the most important in tlte
catalogue of human infirmities.

After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated
the sufferings of Siphylitio and debilitated Patients, and f wined a
wish to rescue individuals from the irnorane: ul •medetcaled men,
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of geneial praetitiemerc.
The cliscaders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten-
tion, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, whether of t
recent or big dui-ation : All kinds of debility, wbether
arising from habits of school-boys, or the induigencies of m;:
Lure age.—Numerous diseases are the result of ignorance, or
haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it,not stare.
quently happens; that the seeds of life are poisoned by the imilz-
cretion of an unguarded hour.
liy a superior method such complaints are easily cared; nr.:
even when: others have failed, we trust that we may presume tc
off.-r a radical re-establishment.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this dis-
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men. whr•,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent ga tiescf
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the up.
1 avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where • the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but (-ire-
fully conceals his misfortune, it may be sotrE consolation for him
to know, that although it be an object of doubt or -uncertainty
with other practitioners, the removal of these defiCiencies by the
gradual progrest of renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce ni.tily
vigour, much anxiety. will be prevented by an early ceounterazion
of this languid state,and in those cases, no great difficulty will occur.
But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper perse-
verance is indispensibly requisitt to revive the slumbering sparks
.of life, and to re-animate the cunstitu ion.. .
The secrecy which is so essential to our undertaking, and the
qualifications which we presume to state, form the basis of out,
pretensions, and the coi ticidence with such this intimation isgiven
that Messrs. I.x mu and Co. may be consulted personally, of-by

No. 9, NEW BRIDGE-STREET, LONDON.

HONOURCDBIIt,
IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year
1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venerea ; which, fmr.
its obstinately resisting every course of meclicinepreacribed by the
most innit.ent of the faculty here, and undergoing several seven
courses of salivation, and twice discharged from the Hospital, with
little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate naturu. In
the spring of last year my disorder Lad got to such a head, as
nearly to put a period to my existence. I had a large ulcer on the
crown of my head, one on each arm, and my lers were broken
our in a frigictful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and
had I e •ii in a state of ulceration for the last seven: years; my kit
had also two nodes upon it, was very much discol lured, and gave
nee such excritziating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as
nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable mate, I was re-
consenended by Mr. I. Thompson, (who received so great a cure
by thole here,) to take your Leake's Patent Pills,which I begs'
to do on the 26th May; in the course of a fortnight I began to
receive benefit—in little more than a mouth the ulcers on my
head and arms were soundly healed—soon after, the sores on nty
lug healed also : leaving, however, considerable dixoloun-
Mon in the skin, and pain in the .bone of the left, which, by the
essing of God, and a little longer perseveran:e in your invalua-
hle„goisdieine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining
itsnatural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off—l reel
became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from
my former complaints--have recovered my firmer spirits arl
strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which statehaving ten-
tinned many mor.ths to the astonishment of all who knew me, l
sue at a loss in what terms to express my gtatitude,.but beg you
for the good of ether suffering misrtals, to make this my case a:
public as possible, as I shall on everroccasion—in so •doing yam
will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful obedient very humble ser-
vant, ALLX. MURKER.
