NI AR RIAGE altotild be the foondation of sncial
happiness, which is o:t.:n disturbed through the parties that
form the union, nut taking chute: precautions which would secure
ibum the enjoyment of tf::.t great domestic blessing. Amidst
:herelanais:ly variety tat disorders under which humps nature
is known to suffer, there are none mere slat:Wee or more dii-
tressine than those which result front fashionable gaieties, early
dissipation' or solitary intemperance.
Mek.rs.CUH,RIP. and Co. beg to state that the sedulous at-
teinicn of a practice exclusively directed to the treatment and
cure of CERTAIN COMPLAINTS, entitle them to the claim
ot superior acquirement. As regular Surgeons, they offer a
speedy and' permanent cure for every stage of that disorder, which
is contracted in an unguarded moment, and which poisons the
springs of life, and for every class of debUity, which is the conse-
quence of juvenile indiscretions, preventing the maturity of man-
hood; entailing by anticipation, on it, unhappy victim ail the in..
limiters of old age—the body' becoming enervated and ema-
ciated—the cheeks yellow and bloodless—and the mind gloomy
and dejected. For the result of their success In this parrlcu-
far branch, they refer to that reputation, which, they flatter
themselves, they have
.acquirisi, by L'n years experience; in
much extended practice. In slight and recent cases ot Syphilic-
tic Complaints, a perfect cure is completed in the short period of
two days; and in the most ►ggravat ed cases, a proper perseverance
in their plan of-treatment insures to the atient an Invigorated
constitution.
Married Women, who have long been disappointed in their
expectetionsa a family, may be assured that, In most inetaaces,
such defects arc curable by medical skill; and though the ro-
mcival of Nth impediments be an object of doubt and uncertainty
with others, yet the ore of such defects, by the gradual *re-
gress of renovation, is the acquirement of their experience.

Reports in answer to •these questions have been re.
ceived, and their contents are this briefly stated:
a 1. All Gipsies suppose the first or them came
from Egypt.
•
" 2. They cannot form any idea of the number hi
England.
66 3. The Gipsies of. Bedfordshire, .Hertfordshire,
par:s of Buckinghamshire, Cansbridr, and Tienting•
donshire, are continually makini.7 revelnri,es within
the range of those counties.
al. They are either ignorant ef number of
Gipsies in the counties through se!-.ich !key ;rani, or
unwilling to disclose their knowledge.

Draper, Taylor, Bosswel, c, Lovell. Lover
Allen, M Glover, Williatus.,4ltrew, Marian,
Si:Aoki, Buckley, Plunkett, and Curie.
" 6 and 7. The gongs in dikerent towns have not
any regular co:lemon or organitation ; but those
who take up their ointer.quarlers in the same city or
town appear to have some knowledge of the differeut
motes eau) horde will pursue ; prt,:bably wick, a de.
sign to pievcnt interference..
66 3. In the county of .Herts it is computed-there
may be 6ti families, having many chiidren. Whether
they are quite so nuinerous in Buckingbarpshire, Dv&
tordshire, and Northamptonshire, the answers are not
sufficiently definite to determine. .1n Cartukidgeshire,
Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltstiie, and Dorset.
shire, greater numbers are calculated typal:
lions counties, the attention has not.heeiLeampetent

66 9. More than half their number foiiow no busi. .

61 14.. It cannot be ascertained, 'whether, from their ,
first corning into the nation, attachment to perticular
places has prevailed.
66 15, )6, and 17. When among strangers, they
elude inquiries respecting their peculiar -language,
calling it gibberish. Don't know of any person that,
can write at, or of any written specimen ot it.,
ig IS. Their habits and customs in Al places are
peculiar.
41 19. Those who profess any religion represent it
to be that of the counity in which they reside :
their description of it seldom goes beyond repeat:ra
the Lord's prayer ; an 4 only few of them are capable.
of that. ,Instances of heir attending any place,for-
worship ate very rare,.

neither laugh nor cry ; and consequently she could'
neither excite joy hoer sorrow. In short there was
