DINNOCK'S CATECHISM of MEDICINE; or,
Golden Rules for the Preservation of Health and the At-
tainment of Long Life.
" It appears to me that ADULTS might be greatly benefited by
the instruction these books contain, as well as the younger
branches of society."—The foregoing observation was made by
the Lord Chaucellor, when, in his judicial capacity, he granted
an Injunction against certain patties who had pirated several of
Pinnock's Catechisms; and the truth of the remark is fully ex-
emplified in the Catechism of Medicine, &c. It is, in fact, an
invaluable compendium on one of the most important subjects
that can occupy the human mind; and no person, whatever his
age or aituatim may be, ought to be without it.

Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasiug wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de-
sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation,
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passion',
but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
Twthe neglect of such attention are attributable many of those
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration
of thu beholder, should al.o impress him with the fear of self. i
reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeniinize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago-
nized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—mus-
cular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear question-
able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty
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 re-
laxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to
cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the
unfeeling empyric 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 con-
sultation; and letters from the country are immediately an-
revered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medi-
cine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how-
' ever distant. GOSS and Co. M. It. C. Surgeons, 11,
