ORIGINAL LETTER OF THE CELEBRATED GEORGIC ALEX-
ANDER STEVEN.

Yarmouth Gaol.
DEAR STR—When I parted from you at Doncaster I imagined,
long before this, to have met with some oddities worth acquaint-
ing you with. It is grown a fashion of late to write lives—l
have now, and for a long time have had, leisure enough to write
mine—but want materials or the latter part of it. For ..my ex-
istence cannot properly be called living, but what the painters
term still-life; having sines February 13th been confined in this
town gaol for a London debt. As a hunted deer Is alwltys
shunned by the happier herd, so am I deserted by the company,
my share taken off, and no support left; save what my wife can
`spare me out of hers.

ADVICE.

WHEN Men of Education and professional skill
use persevering endeavours to discover the must safe and
certain seethe s of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the success-
ful result of their experience is the best proof of superiority.
Mews. GOSS and Co.'Surgeons, bare been induced to make
the cure of the following the object of their partnallar study, II&
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of Mutat-
cation, and its concomitants, Strictures and Glects, which, by
an improved plan, are speeikly and effectually cured ; as also de-
bility, whether arising from Bacclianaban indulgences, long resi-
dence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often un-
happily pursued by the youth of bra sexes, in the ens calvary
sterility or barrenness, and in the other a n...nerous train of ner •
vous diseases, which, If dot timely reniedied, terminate in lin.
potence and Consumption. In that distressing state of debility of
deficiency, whether the consequence of such hopeful habits, or
arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the consti-
tution become enfeebled, as fegularly educated Surgeon: of Lou-
don, they offer a' farm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and
vigorous health.
The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled then,
by a superior method, to remove- venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to
the least restraint in diet or exercise ; and in recent Caws
where an early application is made ou 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 known to fail in one single instaiwe in a prac-
tice of 15 years, during which period many thousand persons
of both sexes have been eured, even after severe and injurious
methods had been pursued by other Practitioners without effect),
induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. exclusively professing the cure of these
particular complaints, in order that they 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 rat
the prof. ssion (certificates of which, from different hospitals, and
testimonials from the most eminent Physicians, they have to con-
vince any inquirer), that the success resulting trusts their endea-
vours first induced them to quit taw practice of the general Prae-
+loner, and they presume that their pretensions constitute a fair
ground for the unprecedented confidence with which they have,
5), the public, been so liberally honoured.

Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars
of their case, age, and manner of living, inclosing a Bank Not.,
for advice and in;dicines, and the same will be torl%.arded to any
