" Demur et platens uxor."—Hoa.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is
(natured by marriage; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend-
Chip," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
whiCh, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association
sith celestial intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of,
marriage, it becomes an impressive duty, not only to regulate the
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the',
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances
which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should
also impress him with the fear of self-repeoach.
Luxurious habits will effeminise the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the pre-
nature infatuation of youth, too frequently compromise the natural dig-
; icy into a state of inanition, from whence the agonised sufferer more
then doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address our.
Wives offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor will
our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multi-,
plied proofs of twenty years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the sus-1
palsient of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath-- for
coo female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strength-
epee:, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
c‘cf:: case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation
rf the gmerative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily,
and with Ka. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric
front the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general
traieiphs with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable
integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffer-
ing community of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial
Int.) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for per-
s"nal consultation ; and letters from the country are immediately an.
sacred; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
d'seribing minutely the cue, which can be forwarded to any part of
;he world, however distant. No difficulty can occur, as the Niedicine
Sal be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.
