COURT OF RING'S BENCH, DEC. 5.
cwt. co's.—w. D. TAUNTON V. HENRY WYROPN, /SQ.
Mr. D.tMPIER stated, this was an action brought
gainst the Defendant, to recover damages for his
ii. ring held a criminal conversation with the Plain-
tes wife.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL followed on the same
side, and stated, that the Plaintiff was a Solicitor of
that Court, residing in Essex-street, Strand : the De-
fendant belonged to the same profession as himself,
be was a Barrister of that Court, and also was an in-
habitant of the same street. The Plaintiff was mar-
ried on the 14th of July, to Miss Henrietta Atkinson,
whose father had an employment at the Mint, in the
Tower. He largely expatiated on the respectability
of Mr. Atkinson, and on the religious and virtuous
inatuter in which he had brought up his daughter.--
lie also entered into the character of the Plaintiff,
'tom the time he entered into his clerkship, and sheaved
:iiat it was truly respectable ; and that since he had
'.come a husband, he was a truly affectionate one,
ich was returned with equal affection by Mrs.
r.iiinton, until she became attivainted with the De-
:madam, who was a married man. He then explain-
rd the different kind of adulteries, and contended that
was one of the worst cases that had ever come to
',is knowledge, and he was convinced that the Jury
must be of the same opinion, when they heard the
evidence. The parties were friends—the Plaintiff, an
attorney, assisting the defendant, a young barrister,
by giving him briefs, an intimacy took place between
their families, which the defendant courted—their
wives were seldom separated. The Attorney-Geueral
is a most eloquent speech, full of point and argu-
ment, but to which, from the length of the trial, we
are obliged not to do that justice which its merits
would incline us to do, expatiated on the circum-
stances of the case. He concluded by saying, that
the damages were laid in the indictment at £lO,OOO,
and lie was certain, when the Jury were in possession
et the facts, they would conceive it quite too little :
tc would not have mentioned the subject of damages,
only he expected he would not have an opportunity
-I addressing them again ; as he trusted, for the ho-
nour of the profession, that witnesses would not be
txamined on the part of the defendant. He was sen-
sible if it was left to the discretion of his Learned
Friend, Mr. Parke, he would make a speech with
:11 that eloquence which he so eminently possessed,
en the subject of damages, and leave it to the Jury.
lie then proceeded to examine his witnesses.
Mr. South proved the copy of the register of the
marriage, which took place at the Tower Chapel, on
the 14th of July, 1803.
The Rev; Neville Stowe proved, that he perform.
ed the marriage ceremony, and that he also chris-
tened Mrs. Taunton. He was acquainted with her
father and family ; and he knew that Mr. Atkinson
brought up ant educated his daughters in the most
7intmus and religious manner ; he was a most atten-
tive father.

William Elias Taunton. Esq. Barrister at Law, is
a third cousin of the plaintiff, who introduced him-
self to the witness as such, when he first came to
London, ten or eleven years ago, since which time
f%ey had been intimately acquainted. The witness
tad known Mr. Atkinson and his family much longer
t)ats he had -Die plaintiff and his family. He had
blown Mrs. Taunton from her infancy, and had had
rank opportunities of observing the conduct and de.
neanonr of Mr. Atkinson's children. They were
ttnught up as virtuously and soberly as it was possi-
liie to educate them. Of Mrs. Atkinson he had not
rich opportunities of speaking ; but of Mr. Atkin-
ass, if the witness were not a son himself, he should
ny, that be had never seen his equal as a father. He
ltd known Mrs. Taunton both before and long after
I•tr marriage, and could say that there had not been
;more virtuous or Principled young woman in the
King's dominions. He had had frequent opportuni-
ts of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Taunton since their mar-
nge, and they appeared to him always to live upon
ie most affectionate terms. The plaintiff was of a
omestic turn, and appeared to be a kind, affectio.
tate, and indulgent husband, and to place his chief
ride in his wife and children ; and certainly in this
particular no man at that time had more reason to
le proud. The witness remembered, that upon his
re:urn from the Easter Sessions of his circuit in 1808,
It found the families of the plaintiff and the defen-
Lilt in close intimacy. Their houses seemed each
:most common to the other family : the connection
peared to him stronger between the wives than the
lisbands; and as they were both young women, he
'ought it very natural that it should be so. For in-
Mrs. Wyborn was oftener at the plaintiff's
:use than the defendant ; indeed the witness ob-
.n-ved the defendant pay Mrs. Taunton no attentions
all : he never saw any impropriety in their beha-
'la, and indeed never saw the defendant in corn-
:Tay with Mrs. Taunton, except in the presence of
s own wife.

The son of the Gentleman with whom the plaintiff
'ad served his clerkship, had known the plaintiff 16
17 years ; and thought his age was new 38 or SC
it knew him when he first came to be articled to the
-itnen's father, It Dartmouth, and had continued
L.:s acquaintance during the whole of his clerkship,
the present time. He had been several times at
.ze plaintiff's house since he was married, and parti-
r:larly during two months, in which his wife was on
visit at the plaintiff's. He always thought them a
-try affectionate couple, and never saw any levity on
:te part of the wife. _ _ _

John Welch Oriel, Esq. of Clifton, had known
te plaintiff a year before his marriage, and had been
itnmate with him ever since. He never saw a couple
te more happily together, or pay each other more
attention. He was on a vis►t to the plaintiff's for six
weks, in 1805.

Mrs. Hill lives at No. 20, Old Boswell-court, with
her mother. The house is kept by Mr. Stuart ; but
Mrs. Stuart manages it. The witness and her mother
occlpied the front parlour. She remembered that a
room on the second floor of the house was unte-
nanted, and afterwards let to a Gentleman, whom
4tt now knew to be Mr. Wyborn ; he came about

Di the family, might have been able to tell a very dif•
ferent story. One Gentleman from Somersetshlre,
aud another from Devonshire, were called to prove
how happily they lived together; but her own sisters
and near relations were not called. He must now
state a second point of his defence, that the plaintiff
could not have suffered much from the loss of the
comfort and society of his wife ; inasmuch as she had
been unfaithful to his bed before that time. In the
slimmer of 1808, she and her husband went down to
Broadstairs, and she staid there a fortnight after
her husband had gone. At that time she contracted
an intimate connection with an officer of the Militia,
of the name of Read. Mrs. Tamiton had brought
this Lieutenant Read to her house at Broadstair, be-
tween two and three o'clock in the morning, and had
let him out herself. Another time she went to a
ball at Broadstairs, and took the key of the house
with her, with which she let herself and Lieutenant
Read in, in the middle of the night, sat with him
for several hours, drank tea other, and hid one of
the cups in the cupboard: she . terwerds let him out in-
the morning, about the time the 'eremite were rising.
It would be proved, that the plaintiff knowing this,
and being advised to proceed against Read, instead
of the present defendant, said, "lead has nothing
to pay, but Wybom has; I shall therefore proceed
first against him." Besides this profligacy on the
part of the lady, he would prove that the plaintiff
hell soliciteda young Naval Officer to go with him
to a brothel ; and when the young Gentleman re.
inonstrated on the impropriety of the proposal coming
from him, replied "it is no great injury to a woman.'
He had two farther circumstances to state, in order tQ
shew that if Mrs. Taunton's mind was corrupted, her
husband was instrumental to it. At Broadstairs he
had introduced her to an intimate acquaintance with
a woman of most notorious character; and; in his
house in Essex-street, he had slept in the same bed
with his wife and her sister (Mrs. Breeze), and that
his wife, in the middle of the night, got out_ of bed,
and left her husband and her sister together. These
were the circumstances he was instructed to state in
mitigation of damages, if the Juty should think the
adultery sufficiently proved. He was instructed that
it could be proved, that the plaintiff and his wife lived
most unhappily together; and if that were proved to
the satisfaction of the Jury, he trusted it would be a
sufficient explanation of the various circumstances
of the meetings, which certainly required some ex-
planation.
Ann Bell was the first witness called for the De.
fendant. She had served in Mr. Taunton's family
in the situation of a nurse • she often heard words
between the Plaintiff and Mrs. Taunton, and she has
heard him say, that she behaved better to other gen.
tlemen, than she did to hilt;. She went with the
family to Broadstairs in the summer of last year.--.
The servants were herself, another nurse, a man-ser-
vant, and a housemaid. Mrs. Taunton staid at
Broadstairs for a fortnight after Mr. Taunton, and
went to two balls, the one at Ramsgate, the other at
Broadstairs. When she went to the ball at Ramsgate
she slept out the whole night, and returned in the
middle of the day, in company with Lieutenant Read,
who stopped at the house for an hour or two. When
she went to the ball at Broadstairse she took the key
of tie door herseif, and ordered all the servants to go
to bed. She returned about two o'clock in the morn.
ing with Lieutenant Read, and sat with him in the
parlour till about four or five in the morning, when
she let him out just as the servants were coming down.
She then confirmed the statement as to the tea-cups.
She so far confirmed the statement respecting. Mrs.
Breeze, as to say that the night that lady slept it the
house, it was intended at first, that she should have
slept with her, and that clean sheets were accordingly
put on her bed ; but that Mrs. Breeze did not come
to her bed, and that in the morning about nine o'clock,
Mr. Taunton called to her to come into the room, and
bring him the little boy ; that she then saw him in bed
with his wife, and her sister, and that he asked her
Is not this very proper ?" to which she answered,
Certainly, if yuu think so," and immediately left the
room. She was discharged in the month of July last,
and went down to Leicestershire. Both the Plaintiff
and Defendant wrote letters to her when she was in
Leicestershire, and went down there to see her. She
was subpcened on both sides in the present trial.
On her cross examination by the Attorney-Gene.
sal, she ,confessed, that she went to. Mr. Taunton's
family in the capacity of a wet nurse, and that she
had never been married. She confessed also, that
Mr. Wyborn, the defendant, had induced her to
swear two affidavits respecting what she knew of the
business, before she came into Court.
Sophia Cox was the next witness called on the part
of the defendant. She contradicted the testimony of
the last witness in several material points. As to the
night that Mrs. Breeze slept in Essex-street, the ac.
count she gave of it was as follows :—That lady had
gone with Mr. and Mrs. Taunton, and some other
relations to the Opera. It was too late to return to
her father's dwelling, which was in the Tower, the
gates of which were then shut. It was therefore in-
tended that she should sleep in a spare bed at her sis-
ter'shouse ; but when they came there, they found that
a friend and Ills wife had arrived and occupied it.
She therefore agreed to sleep in a night chair which
was in the room where her sister and Mr. Taunton
slept. The witness prepared this night chair, which
drew out into a sort of a bed, for Mrs. Breeze, and
positively declared that there never was any idea of
her sleeping with Ann Bell, the last witness. She
came into the room the next morning at eight o'clock,
whorl Mr. Taunton had got up, and there she maw
Mrs. Taunton and Mrs. Breeze in bed together.- Mrs,
Breeze had gone to bed in the night-chair with all
her clothes on, except that she took off her gown and
put on a flannel dress. _ The witness also said that
Ann Bell, the last witness, was very communicative,
and apt to telk of every thing that occurred in the
family ; and yet she never heard her say or insinuate
among her fellow-servants, that she had ever seen Mr.
Taunton in bed with his wife's sister. She also stated,
that she had heard Aun Bell say, that if she was call-
ed on as a witness in Court, 66 she'd be d...d at she
would speak a word of truth."
James Gates, the man servant, denial that he had
seen Lieutenant Read at the house of Mn. Taunton
at the hours stated by Ann Bell. That geneeman
walked with her from Rarnegate, and 'staid about
an hour with her. He also' saw hinr.walking with
her about two in the nic.l nine, from a inver p,At ty

however know, whether she toorVin home or not.
(Mrs. Anstruther was the lady whom the defendant
insinuated to be a woman of notorious character, in-
troduced to the society of Mrs. Taunton by her hus-
band, to support which insinuation, however, there
was not .1 tittle of evidence). He confirmed the tes-
timony of the last witness, having heard Ann Bell
say, that if she was brought into Court, " she would
be d—d if she would speak a word of truth."
Mr. Daly, a naval officer, was next produced, but
be declared solemnly, that Mr. Taunton never pro-
posed to him to go to a brothel, or any thing further
than merely to go to the play.
The case for the defendant was here closed.
The ATTORNILY-GENERA L then rose to reply, and.'
inveighed with the utmost severity against the un-
heard of profligacy and wickedness of the defence
wTiich had been set up. The defendant had not
been content with betraying the confidence of his
friend, and seducing his wife ; but he had invented
all manner of slanders to traduce him, and every body
that was connected with him, merely. for the purpose
of endeavouring to screen himself from those da-
mages which Justice called upon him to pay.—
He had endeavoured to prove the wife of the De-
fendant to be an abandoned profligate, and her
husband to be the accessary to this profligacy ; --
but how had he endeavoured to do it ? He felt it
his duty plainly to state, that the Defendant had
suborned a witness (Ann Bell) to commit perjury,
in order to supp&rt his most wicked defence. The
fact of adultery, he believed, was sufficiently proved ;
but even that fact was lost hi the abandoned wicked-
ness of the case, which the defendant had set up in
mitigation of damages. There was no man who
heard the evidence, that could ;l,ubt hut that Ann
Bell had been suborned to perjure herself by the de-
fendant: she was contradicted by all the other wit-
nesses. He really thought this the most abandoned
instance of profligate vice which had ever come be-
fore a Jury, and that the hi,,;hest damages which were
ever given, ought to be given on, the present occasion.
Lord-ELex.tersoftouon then addressed the Jury.—
After the eaergies of their minds and strength Gf their
bodies-had been so much wasted by the great length
of the trial, he should not detain them long, and it
-fortunately happened that the case had so shaped it-.
self, that this would not now be necessary. Of the.
identity of the two parties there was no doubt. The
first question then was, if any reasonable doubt could
remain in their minds that the crime charged on had.
been consummated. The lodging had been taken by
the defendant, to meet a lady or ladies ; and the only
nn proved to have been there was Mk. Taunton:
eir object in meeting there was to communicate
as to her affairs, what occasion for 'the multitude of
• false stories to 'which the defendant had foolishly been
forced to resOrtall equally weak and wicked ! For
what earthly purpose but that of criminal intercourse
could the Jury suppose they met together, particu-
larly if there was any truth in the levity of her con-
.duct at Broadstairs, which the Counsel for the defen-
dant had been instructed to set op? If they bad met
merely that she shunid tell her tale, could that not
have been done in the Temple Garden ? Streit pre-
' tences provoked human scorn; and di? person hold-
ing them out took a mean measure of the understand-
ing of others, but held out a just one of his own. If
the Jory were satisfied on this head, the next question
• would be, what mitigations or aggravations of guilt
did the case present ? It would have been a material
mitigation of the damages, if the horrid scene, such
as described by the Learned Counsel, had been proved,
is which the plaintiff was a party. This, however,
was not the cal: ; and although there might be a de-
gree of indelic4cy in the wife's sister taking up her
abode for the-night in the room with her sister's hus-
band, still it seemed to have been an act of necessity.
Was the defendant, therefore. on this foundation to
reduce the damages by this infamous story, shocking
to the mind of every moral man ? His Lordship
went through the other charges personal to the plain-
tiff, all of which, in his Lordship's opinion, were dis-
• proved, and all of which also shoved how much weak-
ness there.was in the inventions of wickedness. The
crime of adultery, great as it was, was almost swal-
lowed "up in the other circumstances of aggravation.
To the honour of the profession, there were few at-
tempts to disgrace it by procuring affidavits from wit-
nesses previous to their coming into Court. The Jury
would consider if the charge here was proved, and
if they thought so, they could hardly meet with a
more aggravated case.
The Jury retired for about ten minutes, and then
returned a vereiat for the plaintiff.—Damages £BOOO.

CHAMBERS v. CHANT:U.S.

This was a cause of divorce or separation from bee,
beard, and mutual cohabitaticn, promoted by George
Chambers, Esq. against the Hon. Jane Chambers, his
wife, by mason of adultery, alledged to have been
committed with Captain Caulfield. It appeared by
the 1:bel and evidence produced in the cause, on be.
half of Mr. Chambers, that their marriage took place
at a very earl) pericd of life, and that they had lived
and cohabited together as lawful husband and wife
for the space of fifteen years ; during which period
they had a numerous issue, eight of whom were still
living. That during the absence of Mr. Chambers,
at the Helder, on his professional duty as an Officer,
the acquaintance between Mrs. Chambers and Cap-
tain Caulfield first commenced. The libel, consisting
of thirty articles, stated the various acts of adultery
committed between the parties accused, both in town
and country, particularly at a lock-up !mute in Spring-
street, and at the residence of Captain Caulfield's,
whilst a prisoner in the Rules of the King's Bench
prison, St. George's-fields, at the suit of Mr. Cham-
bers for a verdict obtained for such criminal inter-
course with his wife. On the part of Mrs. Chambers,
by way of defence, pleas of recrimination were given
in, charging Mr. Chambers with adultery, connivance,
collusion, incest, and cruelty. The Court, after bear-
ing the Counsel oil birth sides at considerable length,
r„,,tpoved giving jud:,;:ircnt tilt the first Sessions' in

CO:A(1' OF C.:HAM-L.I,Y, 'DEC.&
NTUAItT Cl' BUTE.
:te t I Pute had, 1)7 his will, left an an-
nulLy 4.ii(K) per annum, to his second son the Ho-
Charles Stt.l;:rt, oil:aged upon estates in
vaillara a3l Northuzabcrikad,, whose value chiefly

depended upon coal mines. But in case in any year [
the profits of the estate should not suffice to pay the
whole of the annuity, the interest of £15,000 was to I
complete the annuity—the surplus interest to be ap-
plied by the Defendant to the use of his younger eh& 1:
dren. Since the year 1800, the annuity had not been ;
paid—the profits having been swallowed up by neces- •
sail repairs upon the estates, and no part of the in-
terest of the £15,000 having been cpplied to the
purposes of discharging the annuity. The Plaintiff
therefore applied to the Court for a reference to the
Master, to inquire who had received the interest of the
£15,000, and how it had been applied.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILIX, on the part of the de-
fendant, said that the time for this inquiry was past,
for that the interest ought to have been applied to
make up the annuity immediately, at the end of the
particular year in which it proved deficient, otherwise
it ought not to be so applied at all.
The LORD tHANCELLOR said he would steer a
middle cf arse, and order the Master to examine in
what particular years the annuity had been deficient,
and to inquire who had received the interest in these
years, not how it had been applied. If the state of
the case should require it, the Master might make
a special report, and an application might be made
to the Court for further directions.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, CLERKENWF.LL, DEC. 8.
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
Jane: Merfierergh and Sara§ his wife, were put to the Bar,
charged with the most inhuman mid wed treatment that ran In
pr.ssibly imagined, practised towards Mary Marlborough, the
infant child of James Marlborough, by a former wife.

The Counsel for the prosecution stated, that the defendant,
James Marlborough, had two children by his fir.t wife; thaz.the
other defendant, Sarah, was his second wife. That immediately
after his second marriage, and when the two infants which he had
by his former wife came home, namely, William, a boy, now
about eight years old, and Sarah, about four years and a ti -:f Aga,
their stepmother commenced her cruelty tow: rd, them, and at i
the very first entry that they made in the house, she desired the
children not to call her mother, but to call her aunt. From that
moment she proceeded to practice every species of barbarity to-
wards both of them, especially towards the little girl, whose daily
and nightly shrieks andpiteaus cries,not only annoyea,but alarmed
all the neighbours within hearing. The emaciated appearance of
the infants, whenever the neighbours had an opportunity of seeing
them, confirmed their opinion that :hey were most cruelly treat-
ed, insomuch that several of them remowtrated with Sarah Marl-
borough ; hut it produced no other effect than that of increasing
the brutality of that defendant towards the child. On the oth of
October last the child was heard most piteously to weep in the
front cellar, a place known by the neighbours to be of the most
filthy and hideretis dascriptien, and where the defendants kept a
pig. The cries were heard frequently during the day, and at
night, when the cries ceased, the neighbours became apprehen-
sive that the infant was murdered—in consequence of which se-
veral persons began to assemble about the house, and at last,
about twelve o'clock at night, some forced their way into the
house, and insisted upon seeing both the children. Sarah Marl-
borough told him that the child was not in the cellar. They,
however, searched it, hut could not find any thing there but
,Remy darkness, dampness, and a pig. They then proceeded up
stairs, and in the back parlour found the child lying under the
bed, both her eyes beaten black, and bruised from her head to
her feet, a shocki.ig spectacle, and almost starved, exhibiting an
appearance of cruelty and inhumanity never before witnessed,
whereupon the children were taken to the parish officers, and
have been in their hand. ever since. The defendants were taken
into custody, and the woman then acknowledged that she had
used the child ill.

The first witness called was the little boy, who told a tale of
woe that would have harrowed up the hardest heart. He fully
estabhshed all the statement of the Counsel for the prosecution.
He said that his stepmother was in the frequent habit of plunging
his hale sister into a tub of cold water; :list she used to beat her
with sticks, with rods, with a toasting fork, and that the two
black eyes which she had when Conn.l under the bed, were given
her on that day by her stepmother with a spoon.
The boy having given his evidence, which he did in a manner
that surprised the whale Court, several other persons were called
in corroboration of his testimony, in which they perfectly con-
curred.—Mr. Webb, a Surgeon in the neighbourhood of Coodge-
st reet, Tottenham-court-road, stated, that had not the child been
relieved at the time she was, it was impossible that she could have
much longer endured it, but must have fallen a victim to brutal
and excessive erthlty.

The little girl he:self was shewn in Court, and owing to the
tender care of the parish, her health is perfectly restored.

The defendants had Mr. Alley and Mr. Reynolds for their
Counsel. The former declined to address the Jury on their behalf,
but he cross-examined the boy. The other Gentlem.tn spoke in
behalf °Marlborough, and the Jury, without a moment's ha,i-
tation, found both the prisoners—Guilty.
It turned out in the course of the enquiry th:.t James Marlbe-
rough had beat his wife for her ill-treatment of his children..
The Court sentenced the woman to one year's imprisonment
in the House of Correction, Cold-bath-fields, 4nd the man to 14
days in Newgate.

DR. GILBE kl"s VEGETA IiLE ANTISCOR-
BUTIC DROPS, in battles at 2.9.5. and a smaller sire at
4s. 6d.—The variety of diseases that prevail at this season of the
year, generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitia-
ted stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest con-
fidence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalled
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and
care for numerous diseases, particularly the land and sea scurvy
cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any
part of the body, leprosy, eruptions after the small-pox or men
ales, inflammation in the eyes, St. Anthony's fire, rheumatism and
rheumatic gout, slow, nervous, and intermitting fevers, aostall the
ong train of disurders which attend the scurvy internally.
The following remarkable instance of the wonderful effects of the
VEGETABLE A.NTISCORBLITIC DROPS,
_ _ _

In those dreadful diseases termed the Scrophula, was attested
before Sir John Wilmot Prideaux, Bart. chief of his Maesty's Jus-
tices of Peace for the Coanty of Devon. Yed of December, 180; :
1, Solomon Anniog, of Colytots, in the said County, Stone-
mason, was, about live years ago, seized with a violent pain in
my side and head; soon after, a humour broke in my neck,
near the collar-bone, and I.scrame a desperate wound; in about three
weeks after three more wounds broke out below my ear, and a
large gathering appeared on the other side of my neck, which
caused such extreme p.tin I coull not gain any rest night or
day. I then took a bottle of 1)r. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscar-
butic Drops, soon after those wounds healed, and the hem :t.r
abated, but not pet severing in &he medicine a suili6ent time,
violrt swelling affected one of my legs, and my knee beeame so
stilt and enlarged, the faculty deemed it a white swelling, and
treated it as such for a considerable time. I row became a per-
fect cripple, soon after my aillictioes were greatly incceased by a
powerrubinfleinmatory tornortr, which settled in my epos and
nearly deprived me of sit:la; my whole frame now became bur-
theme' with this disease; the crutches which I had long used
were no longer of use, I became confined to my bed. The last
advice I had from my surgeon was to get myself se:moved too one'
of the London Infirmaries, this I did ;sot approve of, it arpeared
doubtless whether I eoulti !unt:ertake the journey. At my wife's
request I put myself a second time under a course of Dr. Gilbert's
Vegetable Antiscorbutic Drops, resolvieg to give them a fair
trial ; the wonderful effects produced a favourable alteration, and
ts.v the time I had taken seven or eight bottles, I became a sound
man, every wound healed, my leg and knee returned to their for-
mer size and etrengtk, having for several months not felt the least
symptom of the aforesaid complaints, and I enjoy a very good
state of health. SaLOMON AN/SING.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Edncat.,,,

the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of lot,E 4
success is the hest criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our practice to the e•`•cittsi.a
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of wiz i,;
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are ahle, tit, ra-
vages of those complaints which are the most iniportslit its •.!;e
catalogue of human infirmities.

After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplatti
the sufferings of Siphylitic and eehilitated PatieLts and tCrine4
wish to resets:: individuals from the ignorance of uneducated
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general pruct:tiflniss.
The disorders, to the ci.re of which we have devoted cur alt«r,
dun, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, whether
recent or long duration : All kinds of debility, whethee
arising from the habits of selinul-boys, or du indulgencie, of in,

haste in the treatment a a simple flonorrlitte, and it t,o• tvg„,
quently,happetis, that the seeds of life a^i: poisoned by the
cretion of an unguarded hour. _

By a auperior method such com:tlahlts are eerily cured; at!!
even where others have failed, we trust that we ii,ay presn:c.i
olTe:. a radical re-establi,ihment.

Few, however, are the caws, of complicated distress in this •
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men,

avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but car,.
f .fly conceals his misfortune, it may be some colvilation for hiss
to know, that although it be an object of doubt or mica-tale!.
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by thii

MESS RS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in, hii

singh• instance where their Medicine and method *1 cur* bne
failed of the desiret! erect. The practice of many ytzts in this
particular branch of their profession has not given rift to une
unsuccessful car.e.

They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and ems
of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system,
which is the consequence of tke perniciniu and wasteful effects at a
habit long and most unhappily pursued by t he youths of both seats:
in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren-
ness ; the other have its ravage.. fatally developed to t !man by a dis-
tressing state of debility, which, if not tinie.'.y remedied, termittaoz
in impotence. These are its remote and ulsi i ate elect s, while, eon..
su minions, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaint,

90 years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous :axes of
Strictures have been and are daily under their are, the tarsi
eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and ex?tati-
dons mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The
weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint,
is speedily removed, and the prima restored to sound and vi-
gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed,
proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Attic.
ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the
slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the ConotTsation.
Several Noblemen and Gentli.men, of the first respectability,
'have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the re-
moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and, havik
