WHITE HANDS have ever been esteemed a per-
sonal beauty in both sexes, and in some parts of Europe
are essential to persona of rank. The BANDANA SOAP, or
Indian Washing Cakes, possess the peculiar property of giving
the most elcillAlite delicacy of . texture and inconceivable fairness
to the ha:ds which are constantly washed with this Soap: Even
in eases where the skin has been injured by labour or other vio-
lence, the hardness and coarsiness are effectually, infallibly, and
pet tnanemly removed, and succeeded by a snloothness, fairness,
and delicacy of appearance, which cannot be acquirod by any other
means whatever. It is by experience only that any one can form
an adequate idea of the superior excellence of this Soap.
Sold by the Proprietor's Agent, whose signature it bears, Wil-
liam Withers, No. 2s', Strand, near, Temple.bar, London; and
the proprietors, as a further security, beg them to be particular in
noticing, that the nano and address of the printer, E. Spragg, No.
47, Bow-street,,Covent-garden, is affixed to the label and *rap-
per. All others are counterfeits. Sold by many respectable Per-
fumers and Medicine Venders in Town and Country, price Is.
each cake. But it is at all times mercenary to be particular in ob-
serving the above caution, which will be the means of preventirr
the impositions which have of late been practised.

WHEN Men of Education and professional skill
use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and
certain method of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the success-
ful result of their experience is.the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, have been induced to make
the cure of the following the object of their particular study, viz.
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxi-
cation, and Its concomitants, Strictures and Gleets. which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also de-
bility, whether arising from Bacchanalian Indulgences,-long resi-
dence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often un-
happily pursued by the youth of both sexes, in the ens causing
sterility or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of ner-
vous diseases, which, if not timer remedied, terminate in Im-
potence 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 consti
tution become enfeebled, as regularly educated-Surgeons of Lon-
don, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound end
vigorous health.
The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to
the least restraint in Bet or exercise; and in recent Cases
4,here an early applicadoials made on discovery of the infection,
they frequently perform a sure in the short space of Iwo slays
The unprecedented success of their mode of treatment (which
has never been known to fall In one single instance in a prac-
tice of 15 years, during which period many thousand persons
of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and injuroul
ntetbods had been pursued by other Practitioners without effect),
[minces 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 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 first induced them to quit toe practice of the general Prac-
titioner, and they presume that their pretensions ccetstitute a fair
ground for the unprecedented confidence with which they have.
by the public, been so liberally honoured.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars
of Unit case, age, and manner of living, inclosing a Lank Note.,

GUESTONIAN MEDICINE&
CICERO'. OBSERVATIONS on TOOTH-DRAWING, wire
GUEST'. REMARKS THEREON.
IT has often been observed by our anc;ent Philos°.
phers, that the art of hefting is the most noble and god-like two*
of man. Medical Men feeling as they ought, the great impartmenta
of this remark, should be induced to use their u most endeavours
to aecomplish so laudable a work; and as the 'rots, la-ache is of ail
complaints the most general, as well as the most consenting pais
that mankind can be afflicted with, their humanity alone should
keep them in constant pursuit of some discovery that will prows
certain in its affects: instead of winch they send every perms
appls big for relief to some tooth-drawer, to be tortured accord-
ing to a :witom, as barbarous as it is unnecessary ; and that them
never is a nec ssity for drawing a tooth on account of the pain, I
have had newly 16 years experience in a very extensive peat*.
to convince me, having dur'ng the greatest part of that time,pkdged
myself to cure all those who choose to apply,without drawing the
tooth nr giving pain; then surely l should ten have 'hue srentorly
exposed myself to ridicule, and subjt ct myself to be stigmatised
as a preender, if I was nut secure in oflerieg my Medicine as as
infallible cure.
On this occasion, I cannot help introducing the beautiful
remark' of that wise and celebrated orator, Marcus Tullius
Cicero, who undoubtedly was one of the best and wisest
men of the age in which he lived; he informs ug, " that
Tooth-dra,wing was first invented by Jsesiapius, rn whose
Temples the ancient hung up a pair rat leaden pincers, to signify
that it would be dangerous and improper to extraet any teeth but
such as might be removed with leaden forceps; that is, such as
are louse, and almost ready to fall out ; fur they do not consult
their own welfere, who imprudently remove their teeth without
ab-aiute necessity."
The operation of drawing teeth Is not only very painful, but
sometimes dangerous, and has been kno.vn to place life in a pre.
carious situation; and in many instances, does irremediable :nis-
ch:et' to the might ouring teeth, which mostly go to decay soon
afterwards in consequence of this dreadful shock; but it seem*
people suffering this pain in consequence of the tooth bring faulty,
are more particularly induced to submit to the operation, because
the Dentists finding it their interest so to do, have impressed on
most miuds the idea, that a decayed tooth will injure those near
it ; that this is truth, I deny ; having never known an ins ance in
all my practice, though I have been very minute and saretul in
my observations; but on the contrary, I now know several per-
sons who have been erred by my Medicine, and the offending
tooth has remained for years a useful servant, without eituer of
the teeth nearest it being affected; other objections oo tooth-
drawing are. the great and unpleasant alteration It makes in the
speech, leenins the power of mastication, and deprives nature of
one ef it. greatest ornaments.
It will perhaps be asked by those who are unacquainted with
my Medicine (whicu I have called Welcome Gues-), what rigid
it has to public preference more than many others, which by ad.
verdsement have been as confidently recommended T To which
I make this brief answer --Oaten proprii ter' of secret medicines
declare their nostrums to be infallible ; but they none of them
have dared solicit public attendance as I have done, and by incon-
' testible proof, established the basis on which I have built my pre-
tensions to superiority. The few who will be at the pains to ap-
ply this Medicine properly, makes it necezare for such pains*s
to call tin me, and they will receive an earnest of the truth of my
declarations, and be so well acquainted with the method of using
it, as will enable them to offer, on any similar occasion, their ser-
vices most us-fully to their friends. In ash:Edon to the Tooth-ache
the Welcome Guest may be used as a certain cure for the Face-
ache, Ear-ache, and Gum-boils ; it will in many cases fasten loose

qualities requisite to remove the tartar, and at the same terns give
them asboase Vet natural colour, and tree the Gums irons Scurvy,
which is eerier-de he f.,renattier of this most distrosing pains.
In concluding these remarks, I beg to call the attrition of the

VALENCIA D'ALCANTAR A, OCTOBER IL
CHIEF STAVE OF THE FFFTH ARMY.
~The General of the van-guard, Conde de Penne,
ha; directed the feilowing official dispatch to his Ex-
cellency lha Gencral in Chief of this army.
Most Excellent Sir—l knew oa the lath, by par-
ticular advises; that the enemy had naarthed from
Maeda, in number .5000 men, according to some ae.
ants, altaough others made them am, unt to but
40(;1, oaf a inch 1000 to 1.500 were cavabsy.—
Supi o ing that thelatter was the force of the enemy,
)(air Excellency will see, that it was more than dou-
ble my force, and besides being superior in
.number,
they had field-pieces.
I then was certain the intention of the. enemy was
to beat me in detail, because Brigadier Murillo,
second Commandant-General of the Infantry, was on
that day in Torremacha.
In the night, between the 12thand 13th, I ordered
him to join me •in Caceres, and judging that the
moved ent of General Girard would be combined
with the divisions of the 'Tejo, and that in the night
lie would pass a column in my rear, that is upon
Arroi del Porco, I resolved to retreat upon the Saler,,
passing through Casar de Cacius and Brozus, to pro-
tect by this means the parties stationed in Alcantara,
Garativiihas, and other immediate places. .
Having taken this resolution, I put the troop un- '
der arms at one in the morning of the 13th, and
knowing that as General Girard was to march in the
night between the 12th and 13th, he would soon be
iu Caceres, I doubled my adyanced posts, giving
orders that the small corps of sharpshooters, which
acted as a reletve to them, as the enemy approached,
should retire upon my first line of cavalry, posted in
the road or Casar, without running any risk, since
this w.,uld have produced the death of some men
• 'is ithOut any utility.
My second line was placed fOO paces in the rear,
but ready to succour me ; the legion of Estremadura
formed the corps of reserve. The infantry, in two
columns, under the orders of Brigadier Murillo,
tat rolled at two in the morning, to take a position
tooon.the heights which there are behind the town of
Casar. The two companies of the sharpshooters of
the Union and Legion regiments, posted in the en.
trances leading to this place, had orders to retire be-
fore the last line of cavalry ; .by this I wished to let
the enemy see I did not retire through fear, but in
consequence of that just calculation, which-every Ce-
ntral should make before entering into any action
Whatever, concerning the good or evil watch may
result from it.
Notwithstanding the repeated orders I gave the
sharpshooters not to engage in any action, their va-
lour caused the loss ot ten men—the enemy suffered
similarly, and bad one officea killed by Lieutenant 11.
Ramon la roadie, who attacked and individually
sabred them. _ Upon this a column of infantry de-
scended to the road of Casar, to sustain their cavalry,
which made every effort to charge ours, who ever
received charm sword in hand.
The tnemy net discovering the whole of his force,
convinced me that he concealed some movementupon
,my right sank,. and in consequence I gave directions
to continue our march upon the road of Brocas.—
Scarcely had oiquitted Cesar when I was informed
the enemy's cavalry had attacked our right and left,
/charging the intantry, who marched iu two columns
supported by two columns of cavalry, and that the
two coropantes of sharpshooters were in danger of not
being nb.e to save thetraelyes, because they were in
the rear of the infantry, on account of the beflr.Ce in
which they had been employed ; I therefore gave ("r-
-aters to Colonel Espino, who commanded toe rear, to
halt and save these two companies, which he punc-
tually executed, meriting the greatest eulogium.
To the sienna Commandant-General I gave orders
to place the infantry in a defensible position, whilst
I was occupied in giving various_ directions to the ca-
valry, var,o, notwithstanding the difficulty of the
ground, never ceased to give proofs of their bravery.
Chiafs, Officers, and soldiers, all deserve the greatest
praise fat the valour and intrepidity which they ma-
nifested during tie whole time the enemy pursued us,
for the space of three leagues.
The Coiefs, Officers, and soldiers of infantry, do
notodeserve les;—they, with fixed bayonets, awaited
the attacks
_which the French cavalry continually
made upon them, despising the snouts which the
enemy gave. Colonel Darvine, who always seeks op-
portuniues of giving proofs ot his valour, attacked at
the head of his cavalry.
.Captain Hillier, of his Britannic Majesty's troops,
gave to tie other infantry officers the beat example to
valour, and-I intreat your Excellency will be pteased
to make VA. known to las Excellency Lord Welling-
ton, with the thanks which I gave this officer for tins
conduct.
[He afterwards points out and eulogizes different
lacers who distinguished themselves.]

to the beneficence of Great Britain, it on the one
hand our enemy has every where sca.tered destruc-
tion, desolation, and death, we have on the other a

ferings, and as much as in her power to remedy our
misfortunes and calamities.

We know that the French troops which had ad-
Tanced to this side of Buena, have retrograded to
Rabin, where they remain, extending their advanced
posts to the bridge of Ajba.
By an official dispatch from the Commandant cf
the first section of the van-gnard, we know that the
troops of the said section, who did not exceed 400
men, maintained a brilliant action in the neighbour-
hood of Torre de Rodriguez, defeating a very sure-
nor number of the enemy, with very tittle loss on our
part. The French lost 60 Mien. We had two killed,
and fifteen wounded. Our troops continua to occupy
the line from Cailzan to Cabilhas.
