all their rage in mutual destruction : universal car-I

in a few days there renal ed only fourteen, which
had destroyed and devoured all the rest.
Such is the character which this symbol milks out
as proper to the men signified by the locusts, and such
in fact has their character been. They obtained their
power by crafty artifices, " unrighteous frauds," and
false miracles—" spealing lies in hypocrisy,"—(l Tim.
iv. 2.)—Even while Antichrist was in his nonage, it
was held as a maxim among the sacred orders, that
it was en act of virtue to deceive and lie, when by that
means the interest of the Church might be promoted ; and
long before the end of the fifth century this diabolical
axiom was alogost universally adopted by the whole
gryllus family. That a proposition so iniquitous should
ever have been maintained, would be incredible did
it rest on the testimony of their adversaries, but it is
avowed, without disguise, in the writings of the most
orthodox DIVINES ; and, what is more
.singular, its
propriety was questioned by none but heretics.—Mo-
amar says (n) : 46 We would willingly except from
this charge, AMBROSE, and HILARY, AUGUSTIN, GRE-
GORY NAZI ANZEN, and JEROME ; but truth, which is
more respectable than these venerable fathers, obliges
us to involve them in the general accusation."—lt
was also now held by the whole phalanx, that reli-
gious errors, when maintained and adhered to after pro-
per admonition, ought to be punished with civil penalties
and corporal tortures. This maxim, which was acted
upon to its utmost latitude after the pit of the abyss
was opened, and the locusts were let loose against
the earth, was introduced with the prosperous times
which CONSTANTIN E'S accession to the empire brought
to churchmen ; and, what is singular, ecclesias-
tics, true to the natural character of the insect by
which their power is symbolised, attacked their own
family, destroying one another with most fervent
zeal. It was enforced by several examples during
the contest that arose with the Priscillianists and Do-
. natists, confirmed and established by the authority of
AUGUSTIN, and thus transmitted to the following ages.
Having ascertained who are the men symbolized
by &tests possessing power similar to that of the land-
scorpion, I shall in the next section proceed to detail
some particulars recorded in this prophecy respecting
the exercise of that power. El BLICUS.

SIR, Shrewsbury Chronicle °See, July 1, it,
AMONG the numerous testimonies to the benefi.
cial qualities of the CORDIAL BALM of GILhAI.),
this neighbourhood, two bars: come within our notice, a fey,
days ago.
Thomas Roberts, of Vt'ilmingtos-Hall, Esq. in this ergat,,,,
mentioned that he had for sodie tittle been afBicte4 by di hf•aiii;
he had lost his appetite, his breath was short, and his ceunh
lent and long 'continued. By taking three bottles of the c„,,i.,21
Balm of Gilead be was ref-tured to health aid strength. Mr.
Roberts moreover said, that during the time of taking this lrch.
slue, he perceived one of his terms, 11r. Wheathill, labouring
under si nilar complaints ; and by giving him only two dtdm %,e
was perfectly curet.
Another confirmation of the efficacy of the Cordial l;; n, of
G lead, we received from the lips of Mr. Izzard, of Sham linty,
near this town, whose complaints were somewhat similar to
of Mr. Roberts ; in addition to which, however, be had en ;I-
nlet total stoppage in his throat, and a difficulty in brafliiez.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN t)l4tEducation
and Responsibility deviate from the General System by
the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of long cuiltitmed
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our practice to the exclusive
treatment of two disorders, and the successful reiult of our plan
givei us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are able, the r-
vages of those complaints which arc the most inipurnuit is enp
catalogue of human infirmities.

After initiation into every branch of practice, we ceratemplated
the sufferings of Siphylitic and debilitated Patients, and formed a
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of uneducated men,
or he equally dangerous precipitancy of general practitioners.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten-
tion, comprise every species of Venereal hafection, whether of a
recent or long duration : sdlp, An kinds of debility, whether
arisfhg from the habits of school-boys, or the indulgencies of ma-
ture age.—Nusnerous diseases are the result of ignorat.e, or
haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it no: utile•.
queatly happens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the info:
cretion of an unguarded hour.
By a superior method such complaints are easily cured; and
even where others have failed, we trust that we may presume to
offer a radical re-establiihment.

It is a satisfaction to know, that if you buy a
Ticket or Share in the present State Lottery, it will
be drawn with all the Capital Prizes, as the Drawing
of the whole 5000 Numbers will be completed in One
Day, viz. the '2oth of this Month. The Tickets and
Shares are on sale at the Offices of SWIFT and Co.
No. 11, Poultry, No. 12, Charing Cross, and No. SI,
Aldgate High-street.
The Prize Money to be shared among the Public
on the 20th instant, is Two Hundred Thousand
Pounds. This grand .sum must please every Pur-
chaser in the Lottery, because it is divided into vari-
ous Proportions, affording each a Cliznce agreeable
to the amount they choose to lay out. HORNIEY and
Co. are gratified by the public approbation of the
Scheme, and solicit a continuance of their favours,
at their old established State Lottery Offices, No. 26,
Cornhill, and St. Margaret's Hill, Borough ; where
ITickets and Shares are selling at the lowest prices.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this dis-
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men, who,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties of
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits. •

Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care.
ully conceals his misfortune, it may be some consolation for hin
to know, that although it be an object of doubt or uacertainr:•
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the
gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce mahly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early counteracticnt
of this languid state,and in showcases, no great difficulty wi II occur.
But where this deficiency has for years existed," proper perai-
verance Is indispensibly requisite to revive the slumbering spits
of life, anat. re-animate the constitution.
The secrecy which is so essential to our undertaking, and the
qualifications which we presume to state, form the ba..s of
pretensions, and in coincidence with suck this intimation is given
that Messrs. Liu and Co. may be consulted person Ally, of by
