rrtHE PUBLIC are earnestly warned against name-
roue THISATIOHE of DOCTOR Sotomosts CORDIAL BALM
OF GILEAD, put forth by several unprincipled individuals, to
ensnare and deceive. The great reputation so long enjoyed by that
excellent Medicine for the cure of Nerfous Complaints, Declines, and
Diseases induced by Excessive Indulgences, and the great demand
for h, have tempted the worthless and unprincipled to this nefarious
practice, by which many invalids have been irreparably injured.
These imitations extend not only to the Name of this medicine,
but to the Advertisements, Wrappers on the bottles, and every
distinguishing mark ItICILIPT THAT *lnca woea.o nwaves THE LITE
or Tilt bitIIiDAVOZ, namely, the words " Samuel Solomon, Liver.
pool," engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each Bottle, to
imitate which is felony, and punishable as such. To this distin-
guishing mark the public attention is particularly directed, without
which no " Commit Baia" whatever btu any claim to the merits

of DP. Solama% invondem
• • The genuine medieine is prepared at Gilead-House, near Li-
verpool, and sold by Mr. Johnston, Bookseller, N 0.66, Curnhill ;
Mr. Sanger (late Bacon and Co.)150, Oxford-street, opposite New
Bond-street • Mr. Ward, Holborn; and Mr. Stradling, Royal Ex-
change, London; in bottles at 11s. each, and family bottles, con-
taining the quantity of four small ones, for 504. whereby lls. may
be saved.
N. B. Be careful to ask for " Doctor Solomon's Cordial Balm of
Gilead," and look at the name on the Stamp.

Donut et Ascent
• Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so enrap-
tured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew
to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded ; and " The
Spectator" has affirmed, that the word" wife" is the most agreeable
and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the deside•
Tatum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness on
learth. but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions' but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless in-
stances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, shoald also impress him With the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effesninLve the body—a residence in the tro-
pics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the pre-
mature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural
dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized suf-
ferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then,
we address ourselves, offering hope...energy—muscular strength—
felicity ; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as
they are by. the multiplied proofs of 20 years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the sus-
pension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath
—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxa-
tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure spee-
dily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling
empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we de-
viate from general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in
oar own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Sur-
-1 gems, we refer the suffering community of either sex (especially
those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where
daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and letters
from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain
a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to
any part of the world, however distant.

LEAKETS GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for

convenient than this Remedy, fur such as are obliged to go jimmies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and

will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all tither methods
avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronical Disorders,
this :Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons

ders, within the last eight years: Prepared and sold by the sole
