when the entire country Was overrun with a set OF
onchcrse daguerrean operators whose claims TO the
name of artist were about as well founded as those
of the Rev. Dauphin Williams to the throne of
France. This :" noble army Of martyrs has been,
gradually decreasing for years past and very
superior class of men are taking their places. Pho
tography occupies now an acknowledged position
among the fine arts and has been brought to high
degree of perfection by the combined efforts of genius
and labor. Mere aa5sters have been taught that
two or three weeks is not sufficient to place them OIL
a par with men who have spent years oil toll and
study in developing and perfecting the art Among
those who have made this art their study since the

The Howard Association, in view of the awful
destruction of human life, caused by Sexual dis

eases, in all their forms, and to give Medical advice
gratis TO all who apply by letter. with description
etc.,) and in cases of extreme poverty, to furnish
Medicines free of charge. 1t is needless to add that
the Association commands the highest Medical skill
of the age, and will furnish the most approved
modern treatment.
The Directors Of the Association, in their Annual
Report upon the treatment of Sexual Diseases, for
the year ending January lst, 1858, express the
highest satisfaction with the success which has at
tended the labors of the Consulting Surgeon in the
cure Of Spermatplhma, Seminal Weakness, Impo.
tcncc, Gonorhna, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice OF Oman
ism or sef-abnse. ETC., and order continuance of
the same plan for the ensuing year.
The Directors on levcw of the past feel as.
sured that their labors in thi, sphere Of benevolent
effort have been of great benefit to the afflicted
especially to the young and they have resolved to
devote themselves, with renewed zeal to this very
important aud much dcspised cansc.
An admirable Report on Spermatorrlina, or
Seminal Weakness the vice Of Onanism Mast,lrba-
tion or sofabuse, and other diseases Of the sexual
organs, by the Consulting Surgeon, will be sent by
mail lin a sealed envelopc), free Of charge on re-.
