' I'HIS is to certify, That we, the undersigned, were
present on the 14th of March, 3811, on the premises of
John Hodgson, Esq. and Co. at Battersea, to witness an experi-
mont made with a Steam Engine of eight horses' power erected
by Messrs. Bolton and Watt, to ascertain what quantity ofWheat
could be ground by the said Engiale with a rven quantity of
Coals. The Fogine was in good working condition, the Mdl-
stones In good order, and the exp. riment was made with one
pair of Stones, French Burs' 4 feet 2 inches diameter.
The Engine was worked with proper care and attention for
three hours and fifty minutes, and in that time ground three
quarters, seven bushels and a halt of Wheat, Winchester mea-
sure, with five bushels and one third of a bushel of Coals. The
weight of the Wheat was 59 pounds. neat, per bushel. The Coals
were from Collingwood Main, 448 pounds.

ground by the said Engine with a given quantity of Coals. The
Engine was in good working condition, the mastones in good
order, and the experiment was made with two pair of stones,
French bars, four feet diameter. The Engine was worked with
proper care and attention for two hours and 44 minutes, and in
that time ground 33 bushels of Wheat, Winchester measure,
with one bustle), three pecks, and 14 lbs. (say 161 lbs.) of Coals
of Collingwood Main. The weight of the Wheat was .19 lbs. neat,
per bushel. The Engine is estimated at nine horses' power.

Ward's, when upwards of 34 bushels of Wheat were ground into
Flour, with two bushels or 168 pounds of Newcastle Coals. The
Wheat was of the weight of 59i1bs. per bushel. Certified by

London, July 19, ISM
This is to certify, That we, the Subscribers hereto, were pre-
sent on the Premises of Woolf andEdwartis, at Mill street, Lam-
beth, on rriday the 19th day of July, 1811, to witness an expe-
riment made with a Steam Engine of Arthur Woolt's Patent Con-
s:ruction, to ascertain how much Wheat could be ground into
flour by two pair of French bur stones, of four feet diameter earl,
attached to the said Engine, with a given quantity of Coals, and
that the following was the result. Winked the Engine tour hours
and I I minutes, and burnt S bushels of Newcastle Coals, weighing
4521bs.Dur ig the above time and with the above quantity or fuel,
one pair of the above Stones ground S 6 Bushels and 44ilbs. and
the other pair 24 Bushels and 251bs. making together 61 Bushels
and i ; and it is our opinion, that if the second pair of Stones
had been in as good order as the first, there wuu.d have been
ground with the above fuel at least 71It Bushels. The Wheat
weighed 51' Vbs. per bushel.

From the above Certificates it appears, that with ooe of Morn.
Bolton and Watt's best Engines ot eight horses' power, not quite
six bushels of wheat, Winchester measure, can be ground into
flour with one bushel or 84 pounds of Newcastle coals; and that
with the same quartity of coals, Woolf's nine horse Engine can
grind from 20 to 24 bushels of the same wheat. In other words,
Woolf's Patent Strain Engine of nine horses power can lift from
40 to 45 millions of pounds one foot high, with one bushel of
coils.—Engines of greater power can lilt considerably more with
the same quantity of fuel.
Engineers, by applying to the Patentee, Arthur Woolf, No. 2,
Saville-place, Lambeth-walk, ma)• be accommodated with Li-
cences to construct these Engines Op equitable terms.
N.B. Engines on Mr. Wort's principle may be altered so as to
embrace Woolt's imprevinoents, u a moderate expense.

ADVICE
WHEN Men of Education and professional skill
ust: persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and
certain method of treating a few prevailing lnesases, the success-
ful result of their experience is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, have been induced toquak•
the eine or the following the object of their yardenlar study, vim
a certain Disorder, frequently contraceou in ~ i,'o,ii ~ id ..itoxi-
cation, and its concomitants, mete:tires and Meets, which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured; as also de-
bility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long reel•
dente in warm ciinutes, or a secret solitary ekes too ones um
happily pursued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing
sterility or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nat.
vows diseases, which, if not timely remedied, terminate in Ins-
potent: and Consumption. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or
arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the constla
tution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of Lou-
don, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and
vigorous health.
The result of a long an.] extensive practice has enabled them.
by a 'uperior method, is remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to
the least restraint in diet or exercise ; and in recent... Case,
where an early application is made on discovery of the infection,
they frequently perform a cure in the short space of two days.
the unprecedented success of their mode of treatment (which
has never been kinii•vn to fail in one single instance in a prac-
tice of 15 years, during which period many thousand persons
of both sexes have been cured, men after miners and Injurionll
aiethods had been pursued by ether Practitioners without effect),
induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.
Mstsrs. GOSS and Co. iexclosively prating% the eine of them
particular complaints, in order that :hey may not be marked by
a mistaken few, with the obloquy so justly attached to the igno-
rant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they
have been properly educated and initiated Into every branch of
the profession (certificates of which, from different hospitals, and
testimonials from the most eminent Physicians, they have to con-
vince any inquirer), that the success resulting from their endea-
vours firi.t induced them to quit t..e practice of the general Prac-
titioner' and they presume that their pretensions constitute a fair
, ground for the unprecedented confidence vitb which they have,
by the public, been so liberally honoured.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars
of their cases age, and manner of living, Inclosing a Bank note,
for advice and medicines, and the sante will be forwarded to any
part of the kingdom.—GOSS and Cu. Surgeons, 13, Bouverle

SOCIAL HAPPINESS.
MARRIAGE should be the foundation of Social
Happiness, which Is often disturbed through the parties
that form the union not taking thoSr precautions which would se-
cure them the enjoyment of that great domestic blessing. People
of every rank pay adoration to the shrine of wedlock; but where
the constitution has been tainted by disease, or debilitated by a
certain habit contracted at an early age, a renovation of stability
previous to entering that state is indispensibly requisite to revive
the slumbering sparks of Isle, and to reanimate the system. For
no disorders have contributed snore essentially to destroy Hym-
eneal happiness than those which are the consequence of unguarded
pleasure. It was this consideration which induced Messrs
CURRIE and Co. for these last twenty years, to direct their stu-
dies and practice exclusively to the treatment and cure of the Ve-
nereal &seen, and the disorders arising therefrom; as also to that
derangement of the system, produced by the destructive habit of
the inconsiderate school-boy, which brings on these distressing
Debilities and Deficiencies that prevent or embitter the Matri-
monial state. The successful result of their plan, gives then
additional ardour to oppose the ravages of these complaints,
which are the most important in the catalogue of human infir-
mities. It behovesevery person who has indulged in this soli-
tary vice to seek relief by consulting Professional men of emi-
nence and honour, to which Messrs. CURRIE and Co. claim
the sanction of scholastic authority, as well a. the testimony of
uncontradicted facts. in professing the cure of these complaints
they hold out no inducemert to vice ; but sensible as all men
must be of he existence of such calamities, they offer their
assistance as regularly educated Members of the Royal Colleges
of Surgeons of London and Edinburgh. Slight and recent
cases of Syphilitic infection are radically cured in the shot t
space of two days. Those of the most obstinate duration, such
as obstructions, inveterate strictures, pains of the bones, sleets.
&c. are permanently and spoediii cured. Several Noblemen and
Gentlemen of the first respectability have been under die care of
Messrs. Currie and Co. for the removal of complaints of the ure-
thra, strictures, icc. and having received a radical and permanent
cure, request that references may be made to them assatisfactory
evidences of the decided superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s
plan of treatment. Many of these gentlemen had strictures from
10 to 20 years, and were under the care of Messrs. Home, Hea • '
elside, and other surgeons of equal eminence, who attempted
their cure by the application of the lunar caustic, without suers a
Messrs. Currie and Co. have selected the following letter from
the in:toy they are daily receiving from gentlemen returning them
thanks fur their restoration to sound and vigorous health. It was
sent to them unsolicited, from the son of a Noble Earl, who had
laboured under this distressing and painful malady far ten years
be bad been under the care of several surgeons of professional
eidisence, none of whom afforded him permanent relief; ton
ale the superior mode of treatment adopted and pursued by
Stwisrs. Currie and Co. he received a radical cure in the shun
space elope month.
" To Dr. Collate, 107, Hatton-Garden.
" Lord feels great pleasure in communicating to Doctor
' Currie the perfect re-establishment of his health, In consequence
" of his mild and admirabietreatment of Strictures in the Urethra.
He may add, that he has not for many years enjoyed so much
corofon and freedom from pain ; and he entertains no doubt of
" his having obtained, through his skill and attention, a perfect
" and radical cure of that horrid complaint. As he was not a
" stranger to the manner that others treated the complaint, he has
" it in ids power, from a fair trial and a Jame comparison, to pay
" that tribute of applause to Dr. Currie which be aradbly feats,
and shall ever be most ready and willing to aeknowiedr."
