" We earnestly recommend the casts related by Dr. Courtenay
to the perusal of such of our Readers as are afflicted with the com-
plaints which the author has made the subject of these Observa-
tion,. Several instances are adduced ut the recovery of perfect
health from stases which were considered hopeless by practitioners
of eminent talents, and very extensive experience. We entertain
the highest opinion of Dr. Cuurtenay's professional skill, and con-
gratulate him or. his soca:a:tut mid judicious application to these
ere and often destructive dtseases."—European Magazine.

" Donuts et platens usor."—Hon.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS .‘ the gay to-mot row of the mind" is
insured by marriage; "the strictest tie of perpetual Friend-
ship." is a gift &tient-leaven, cementing pleasute with reason, by
which, slys Johnson, "we approach in sonic degree of association
with celestial intelligence."
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
instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminise the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth ton frequently compromise the na-
tural dignity into a state of inanition, in= whence the agonized,
sufferer more than doubts the chance ot 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
suspension 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 relaxation
of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily,
and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling einpyric
from the position so presumptuously taken up. we deviate from
general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own
honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we
refer the suffering community of either Sex (especially those entering
into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance
is given fur personal consultation ; and letters from the country are
Immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice
and Medicine, which can be forwardedc u any part of the world,
however distant. GOSS and Co. M.R.C. Surgeons,
