Carpe diem—
Be yornipily wise. •
WHEN Science began to explore the complicated
machinery of Man, she was speedily entangled in a la-
byrinth of mysterious confusion, from which intellectual perse-
verance alone emancipated her. Ignorance and empiricism,
however, still oppose their venomous hostility, and the prejudice
of weak minds, in some measure, encourages their audacity. As
Truth is to Falsehood—so may our public statements be com-
pared with their unqualified pretensions, and to expose their fal-
lacies, we have not hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners
in a class of Diseases which endanger the mystic evolutions of
Nature. To be brief : we are Members of the London Col-
lege of Surgeons, can establish the integrity of our Character
upon the success of Twenty sYeare. practical experience, and an-
nounce the grateful testimony of those in whom long puttering
had nearly extinguished every hope of relief.
We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from it
incipient symptoms to the 'remotest stages, characterized by
every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and
much neglected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and
studiously considered, as have also those delicate and important
sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of
virility have been especially noticed, whether as arising from the
debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmosphere—the natural bias
of constitution—the imprudence of gaiety—or the more alarming
results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ; ' the
progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction of the ani-
mai powers. To all who arc thus circumstanced, and more
especially to such as are aspirants for connubial_ pleasures, we
earnestly ree,immend our Commentary (The zEgis of lee), the
perusal of which must prove beneficial to their moral happiness

Mr. Auotpnus added, that he was only anxious-
that the apprentice should he comperled to serve out
his time with his master. It was too frequent a trick
praCtised by apprentices to learn their master's busi;
ness in two years, and then to quit their servit •
A constable of the name of Crecy, was indicted
for assaulting Odell, a young man of respect-
able appearance.
Tile prosecutor stated, that while he was walking
near some brick-fields, the defendant, with other
officers of the peace, came up, and asked him if he
knew a per son of the name of Green ? The defend-
ant (as witness supposed to intimidate him) pulled
out of his pocket a pair of handcuffs. Witness a►.-
sw•ered, that he did know a person of the name of -
GI een, and pointed to some houses where he lived.—
The defendant immediately collared him, and drag-
ged him toward the house< The officer then pulled
out a large horse pistol, and putting it to his head,
swore he would not be so ill used as he was yester-
day—an officer on the other side of him pulled out•
another pistol, and put it to his head. This was done
at the command of the defendant. Witness was drag-
ged several yards. A crowd collected, and at length
he was allowed to go at large. •
The defendant being called upon for his defence,
stated that he had a warrant to apprehend a man of
the name of Green, and certainly did ask Mr. Udell•
if he knew a man of the name of Green ? His an-.
swer was, that if he did know him, he would be
d—d if he would tell him. He (the defendant) had
been grossly ill treated the day before, and he thought
by the prosecutor's answer, that he was one of the
men concerned with Green. Under this idea, he cer-
tainly did pull out a pistol, but never put it to the*
prosecutor's head. He said that he would not be M-
used as he was yesterday.
Three witnesses were called and fully corroborated
the defendant's statement, and the Jury found a ver-
dict of Ad. Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN thought the officers Were justified
in what they did. The parties they were then in
search of were afterwards tried and convicted of:a
capital offence., . .

'When Lord ERSKINE made his debut at ilVe.Bart
his agitation almost overcame him, and he ii as just
going to sit down :—" At that mornepf," said 114, u:t
thought I felt my little children tugging attraygaiii_
and the idea roused me to an exeztiou.of which kelid
not think myself capable."
The witty Lord ltoss had a great aversion trigenr
tlemen of the medical _profession: in a fit of iline4, a
friend advised him to send for a pitysiciaa—"• No,"
said he, " I am not yet prepared to die!'_
GA NGANELLI once meeting a Capuchin
mounted, humorously asked the barefooted triiriiimr
lung-it was since St. Francis rode on hor.s.i...back? and
.was tartly answered—" Ever sincy St. Peter ibcfc.in
a coach!" • . • •• „ .
