A « this DUease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure take * place , it ii not like many other visitors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may « careely have been removed , when tnother may unfortunately be imbibed , therefore the Practitioner requires realjudgment in order to treat each particular Case in - -uch a manner a . » not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of -xpern . uee can avail himself of the greatest mproveraeut * in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharge * of a specific and oi
a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by oBe in daily practice ifter due consideration of all circumstances . Patients labouring under this disease cannot be too cautious into whose hands they commit themselves . The Propriety of this remark is abundantly manifest by the same Patient frequently passing the Ordeal of several Practitioners before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect Cure . The foilowiBg arc some of the many sympxoms that distinguish this Disease : —a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated uorethroats , scrofula , ceilings in the neck , nodes on the ghin bone 3 , chancres , fistula , pains in the head and limha , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism , &c . &c .
COPY OF A LETTER . Mr . Wilkinson , —Sir , having had the misfortune , about four years since , contract a long-to-be lamented most destructive complaint , which no doubt would have proved fatal ere now , had it not been for your invaluable skill , which I can safely say has saved my constitution from utter destruction . I nave , bseu under several experienced practitioners , and have beeB apparently well for a short time , but ever experienced a relapse , which evidently resulted from patched-up and improper treatment , or some secret lurking in the frame which was never rooted , With great reluctance I was advised by a friend to apply to you . At that time I was afflicted with ulcerate ! sores is my mouth , horrible taste and bad
smell , blotches on different parts of my body , with great pain and swellings in the bones , particularly my legs , with bard lumps on my shius , which I am now satisfied would eoou have proved fatal . After taking your medicine for a fe * weeks , my sores assumed a healing disposition , my taste and smell got gradually better , my pains entirely left me , and I have increased in both strength , health , and spirits , and am now without fear of any return of the complaint . Being convinced there are numbers of my fellow creatures similarly afflicted , and for their good , I request you will publish this in the paper , only be bo good as omit my name . Yours respectfully , C . B . Leeds , October 4 th , 1838 .

To those afflicted with SCURVY , VENEREAL , or SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUMATISM , and NERVOUS or SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . LA MERT , Surgeon , Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Hall , London , aud Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c ,, baring devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the Generative Organs , to the successful ffrcatxaeat of the Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , and to the removal of those distressing nervous sen--ations , arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , continues to be consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten' at Night , and on Sundays from Nine till Two , at his residence , at
No . 27 J , ALBION-STREET , LEEDS , and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all ether means have failed . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these invidious and dangerous diseases , can only be required by those who , in addition to experience , have gone through a regular course of Medical Instsuction , independent of the benefit oi practical experience ; for unfortunately there are hundreds who annuall y fall victims to the immoderate use of mercury , and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate menwhoowing to a
, , otal ignorance of the general principles of medicine , ruin the constitution , by . suffering the disease to get into the system , where being carried by the circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and the most unhappy consequences ensue ; for it then assumes so many appearances , that the greatest discrimination in often necessary to detect its presence , at one time affecting the skin , particularly tne head and face , with eruptioBs and ulcers , closely resembling and often treated as scurvy ; at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which is frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings .
LA MERT'S RESTORATIVE PILLS , price 2 . « . 9 d . and Us . per box , are well known as a certain and effectual remedy for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , without confinement , loss of time , or hindrance from business they have effected many surprising cures , Hot only in recent gonarrhoea , aud simple cases , but when mhvatiuu and all ether means have failed . There is no situation in life no wretched , aa when we are obliged to reveal our moral indiscretions to others , and the timidity and auxiaty which so frequently haunt the minds of thoae who are suffering from Nervous and Constitutional Debility , arising from early and indiscriminate excesses , cannot be too earnestly deplored . For in thtse unhappy case ? where melanchol y distaste and incapacity for all
pleasure , ' , intense debility , both mental and physical , and all thu enervating imbecilities of old a ^ e , ar * its general attendants , thj utmost endeavour .-: should be resorted to on the part of the siifftrer to overconit this baneful destroyer of his health and happiness , in order to avoid the blank despair , and certain misery , which invariably accompany these dreadful dtbilities , when left to the powers ot nature alone to r .-store , and which frequently hurries itn victim to the grave , in the very flower of his youth . To all who art tkus afflicted , Mr . La Mcrt , as a regularly educated member of the medical profession , can , with the utmost confidence , offer hop ? , energy , vigour , and perfect health ; and from the peculiar nature of his practice , the mo . « t timid may feel encouragement in the opportunity thus afforded them
Mr . LA MERT may be personally consulted from . Nine in the morning rill Ten at night , and will give advice to persons taking the above , or any other of his preparations , without a fee . Attendance on Sundays from Nine till Two , where his Medicines can only be obtained , as no bookseller , druggist , or any other Medicine Vender ig supplied with them . Country Jetters , post-paid , containing a remittance for Medicine , will be immediately answered . The following letter has just biea received , and by request of the writer is now published , but it must be obssrved that no ease is published unless by the express consent of the party : — " Newcastle-on-Tyne , Jan . 20 , 1839 .
" i . 5 iR , ^ -It has been my intention , for a length ot time , to address you on a subject closel y connected with your celebrity : but I must coufesi ' that a feeling of delicacy has hitherto withheld me , forw * at ? unwilling to expose our own errors . Aly cure , however , has been so singularly complete , " that I felt it would be an act of gross 'injustice to your character and skill were I longer to withhold a case as remarkable perhaps as any on record . Born in a ' . polished circle of society , I was early sent to a most respectable public seminary , where , for some years , all went on with prosperity and happiness . Unfortunately , hnwever , a habit waa sent abroad among us
, the pleasing allurement of which I was , with maay others , unable to resist . Years rolled away , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered around me , and at the age of twenty years I was actuallj dying of decay—a gradual but certain decay . I wondered at the cause of this premature debility , nor did the truth ever flash across my mind , until an accidental perusal of a Leeds newspaper , where I saw an address of yours , which made rae fully sensible of my miserable situation . The horror of my situation increased every renewed day with the caustof misery , self-entailed , gnawing at my heart in mv
waking moments ; iti seeking rest , I only sought for a change of torments —the many hours of darkness seemed awful ; those of sleep filled me with racking horrors indescribable . I longed far day—with day 1 was wearied , asd I beheld the approach of ni ght with abhorrence . Under the * e circumstances ol unqualified affliction , I journeyed upwards of ninety miles to have a consultation with you . I need not say how soon you were aware of my appalling situation , or the anxiety you manifested in accomplishing my relief ( a circumstance which will ever have a grateful claim on my memory ) , or of the confidence with which you spoke of my recovery .
" You directed me a packet of your invaluable Medicine , and by persevering in following your directions , and with the blessing of Providence , a wonderful cure has beea completely effected , and I am now in every seine nf the word become a NEW man ! I transmit this account for yo-sr honour , and for the benefit of others whomay , unfortunatel y , be placed in a situation of similar wretchedness . ' Yt > u may omit my residence ; but if asked for , you are at liberty to give it . Remaining , Sir , w > th every sentiment of regard , your * truly , " CHARLES NEWTON . "

William Parkinson , No . 44 , Vienna-street , York-street , Leeds , who had been nearly blind for twenty-five years , afrer having been under Mr . B . ' s treatment only a fortnight , was able to read . This was not external complaint , but proceeded from a compression of the nerves by redundant humours , which , had they not been drained off , would have ended in total darknesg , that is , Gutta Serena .
Mr . B . is successor to his Father , who stood unrivalled for forty years . The case last mentioned was the first placed under the present Mr . B . ' s care . A soldier in Hull , who was blind in the year 1813 , was restored to Sight , and made perfect in two months , after having been discharged Blind from the Hospitals af Londjn , York , Leeds , and Hull .

On Thursday afternoon , an accident of a most alarming nature , and which has been attended with the loss of life , ocuurred on board the sfrchimed'S , new steam-vessel , in the East India Dock , The vessel is fitted up with Sir . Smith ' s patent Archimedean propelling screw , which works at the stern « f the vessel , and causes no swell . She has already made several experimental voyage } with the new propellers , and wiih the greatest success , about the coasi and on the river . A few days ago the vessel made a trip to Portsmouth , and was present at the launch of the Queen , 120 guns . On her return voyage she made about nine knots an hour . She
was moored in the East India Dock , at Blackwall , uutil Thursday , when it was determined to make another experimental trip on the river , which was to decide a very important point in the constructionot the engines and machinery , which are of the ordinary description , and manufactured and fitted up by Sir John Renuie and Son , the well-known engineers of Holland-street , Blackfriart-road . For the purpose of ascertaining those particHlars , Messrs . Rennie , Mr . Smith , the patentee , Mr . Wimahum , of Limehouse , the builder of the vessel , and severdl scientific gentlemen on board . Soon after two o'clock the steamer got under weigh , and , alter miking a circuit of the dock , the
flood-gatewere opened and she was about to enter the river . At this time one of the men was absent , having gone aRhore to obtain some beer for the people on board , and the engineers were in waiting for him with the levers in their hand * ready to set the machinery in motion , wrhenthe accident which has been attended with such very serious consequences took place . The company upon deck were alarmed b y the noise of an explosion below , and on Mr . Winujhurst , and Mr . Smith going below to ascertain the cause , they found the boilers had burst , and the steam was issuing from the top , where they had
given way , in large quantities . The whole of the persons in the engine-room at the time were more ot less injured . Three men , named James M'Millan , second engineer , and Alexander Eraser , and James Scroll , firemen and stokers , were most dreadfully scalded , and were instantly removed into the cabin , where measures were taken to render , them assistance and alleviate their sufferings . It was , however , found necessary to remove the men to the Dreadnought hospital-ship . 1 hey were covered with soft linen and blankets , and taken on board that institution in a boat . M'MUlan died a few
minutes after he reached the snip . He was frighJfully scalded , and , when the explosion took place , waq . ek > se to the boilers , and exposed to the whole , force of the discbarge of steam . The other men still linger in a most hopeless condition , and but little hopes are entertained « rf their recovery . An inquiry i » ordered to take place by the engineers , patentee , owners , and committee to ascertain the cause which led to th » melancholy occurrence , and a scientific report will Ve delivered to the coroner ' s Jury which is to be impannelled on the body of Mill
M' an , wfeo nas left a wife . and young family unprovided for . Mr . George Rennie , Mr . Smith ., and others , examined the boilers on Friday , and we understand that the conclusion they came to was that the accident happened by the " stricking of the valve * , " which confined the steam and burst the top ot the boilers . One has started on the starboard corner forward , and the other on the larboard corner aft . Notwithstanding the deplorable nature of the occurrence , a degree of satisfaction arises in the fact that had it occurred two minuteB later , the 1 qs » Q f

ife would have been very great . The whole of the company on board were te have been in the engineroom , for the purpose of examining the working of the machinery . On Friday evening the inquest was held on the body of M'Millan , at the Union public-house , Greenwich , before Mr . Carttar , and , after the examination of a great number of witnesses , the inquest was adjourned to Wednesday next , with the intention it would appear , of procuring the attendance of scientific men , who might be able to ascertain the cause of the accident , none of the witnesses hitherto examined being able to speak positively to that point .

- ^ Extraordinary Suicide in the Borough Compter . —On Saturday afternoon , at three o ' clock , an inquisition was taken before Mr . Payne , the city coroner , at the Borough Compter , on the body of Ellen Copeley , aged 29 , who destroyed herself , on Friday evening . It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a woman of very violent habits . She had formerly cohabited with a man named Pennington , but abeut twelve months since they parted . Pennington then transferred his
attentions to another female , whom he married about three weeks ago . In the moHth of April the deceased was committed to Brixton for a month , and on being taken thither by one of the Town Hall officers , she declared that as soon as she obtained her liberty she would be the death of Penniagton ' a wife . On Thursday last she was discharged from the Brixton House of Correction , when she proceeded direct to Mrs . Pennington ' s lodging in a state of phrenzy , attacked her with her nails until her face and head was covered with blood . A
warrant was subsequently obtained , and on Friday she was apprehended and lodged in the Borough Compter . At seven o ' clock Homer , one of the turnkeys , rang the visitors' bell for them to leave the debtors , ' aad during his absence the deceased hung herself with her apron to the bars of her cell . Pennington ; stated it to be his belief that the deceased was | mad at times , as she had twice before attempted to hang herself . Verdict— " Temporary inaanity . "j Desperate Attempt at Murder and Suicide . —On Saturday , abaut one o'clock , considerable excitement prevailed among the inhabi-i tant 8 of George-street , Plumbers ' -row , Greenfield-j street , and the neighbourhood of the west-end of the ] Commercial-road , occasioned by a desperate attempt
on the part of a man named Frederick Jourdan , a Hanoverian , to murder his wife , by cutting her throat , and then endeavouring to commit suicide by cutting his own throat also . It appears that about eighteen months ago , Joardan , who is by business a wadding-manufacturer , and has a small factory close by the water side , Wapping , married the daughter ef an aged man named Hartshorne , residing in Plumbers ' -row , Whitechapel , with the per-l feet consent , as it seems , of her friends and relatives ] Sometime after the union , a brother of his fatherin-law died intestate , leaving a property of near £ 10 , 000 , and , this being divided among his surviving brothers , enabled the father of Mrs . Jourdan to
m < ike a settlement of about £ 500 each upon hia children . Owing , however , to the irregularity ol Jourdan , his not being so good a husband to his wife as her friends could have wished , and , above all , their fears that if he got the property into hid own hands he would set off for hia native country ^ his father-in-law , previous to his death , " which took place about six months ago , left his wife ' s share of the property so secured that he could not possess himself of any portion of it , his wife alone haviDgj the control over it . This circumstance seeras to have weighed deeply on and seriousl y affected bi 3 mind , and for some months past he had been using every possible effort to persuade his wife to maka
over her interest in the property to him ; but she * under the advice of her friends , declined to do sol and the consequence has been , that within this week ) or two he has exhibited symptoms of insanity on the subject . On Monday last , he , by the raosJ earnest entreaties , urged Mr . Stanley , his landlord ] and two of the neighbours , to enter his apartment ] No . 10 , George-street , and in their presence en } deavoured to persuade his wife to exclaim three * times that she was willing to resign her interest id the property in his favour ; but the parties present perceiving the impropriety of being acc « -ssori « 8 tq such an act , declined having anything to do with the matter , and this , if possible , added to his ex <
citement . For the last two or three days he hai exhibited decided symptoms of derangement , and be ] tweea three and four yesterday morning be jumped out of bed , and , with nothing on but hid shirt , troupers , and boots , immediately sallied mto the street . His wife , who is about fou » months advanced in pregnancy , followed him , bat be soon got out of her sight , and crossed the Comj mercial-road to the south side , running as fast as h < could . The unfortunate woman , just as she los | sight of him , met Sergeant Donntgan , of the Hi division of
police , who at first thought feer to be 4 maniac , from her being almost in a state of nudity ! and exclaiming for "Help , help ! " He a * ked he : what was the matter ? and she replied , " That he husband , who , she was certain , was insane in hii mind ,. had got out of bed and maie off to the wate side , for the purpose , as he threatened , of drownin ) himself , and she was sure he would put his threa in execution . " The Sergeant endeavoured to sooth , her as much as possible , by saying , he was certain s person in the state she had described her husband
must attract the attention of some of the policlong before he could reach the water side , am therefore he was certain he would be taken up an . taken care of by them ( the police ) . A female , ; friend a ! Mr ? . Jourdan , came up while Sergean Donnegan was speaking to her , and with thispersoi she returned to her residence . Jourdan , at abou half-past six o ' clock , returned home also , after , * It appeared , calling at the houses of several person he had been m the habit of dealing with , and no only abusing them , but threatening . their lives ; an he afterwaids
became so composed that his wifi prevailed upon him to accompany her to the resident of Dr . Graves , in Great Alie-street , when he wa cupped , received 8 > , mi medicine , and was told to gi home , and keep himself as composed as possible and he accordingly returned home , and lay on tbi bed for some time . At about half-past twelve however , he got up , rushed down stairs , went int < the street , exclaiming he would go and drown himself . His wife followed him , and sneceeded iij getting him up stairs ; but in about half an hou ^ afterwards , a loud shriek and the cries of " murder'
from the wife alarmed them in the house , as well ai the residents in the immediate neighborhood ; and Mr . Stanley , a respectable baker residing next deer , and whe is also tbe landlord , was the first to rush up stairs , and on reaching the room occupied bi Jcurdan and his wife , ( a small back one on the fir » t floor ; be found that the door was fastened on the inside , and though he endeavourfd to farce it open , his efforts were unavailing . At this time a streani ot blood was flowing frum underneath the dcor , and trickling down stairs , and a Mr . Richardson , an-Other neighbour having ascended the staira , fce , with tbe assistance of Mr . Stanley , forced open the ¦ d W £ most f » gl » ful spectacle presented itself , ihe wife was on the door in a sitting posi . tionwith the blood
, flowing from the back of hei head , and the right side of her throat , in great abundavce , and the husband seated on a sofa , in the act ot drawing the blade of a small pocket-inifq backward and forward across his throat , and a quantity of blood flowing from a wound which he had inflicted . The parties with great promptitude secured him , and wrenched the weapon out of his hand . At this moment Sbelswell , an officer ol Lambeth-street , entered tl « j room , when hi * atten « tiou was immediately diiected towards the wounded fe , male who was in a sinking , and apparently , a dying state , from the lee ? of blood . He raised hei up , and she faintly requested he would put bei hands and feet into cold water . He instantlr procured som * cold water , with , which he bathed he ' r temple ? ,
and also secured the wounds as well as he could uuiil the arrival of Mr . Tripe and Mr . Gray , twe ewdical gentlemen , who were brought by Lea , tbi officer . The hemorrhage frem tb » wounds wai stopped ; both the wife and husband were conveyed to the London Hospital on stretcaew by the polic * under the direction of Sergeant Dwraegan , and ot their being examined , three deep wounds were foonc on tbe back part of the head of t ) w ft male , aEd twe ot a circular description behind tfee right ear . The « appear to hare been occasioned by stabs from tb « kniJe , taken Horn the busbaBd , which is an ole pocket knife of & very common description , witb i blade of about twe inches long , and a handle of th « same length . The wounds iear the ear are of «
very dangerous character , as they are suppesed « have severed some branches of the carotid , and tb » unfortunate woman is considered in most inuoiBeK ; danger . The wound on the throat of the hushan ' is but superficial ,- owing principally to the Wuntaes of the Wkapon ; but he exhibited such symptoms o insanity , that it was deemed necessary to leave ' policeman to take care of him , and both in h « room and on the way to the hospital he express ^ it to have been his decided intention to murder »« wife aud destroy himself . It is hut justice ta tm medical officers belonging to the hospital to state j that the most prompt and humane attention wasp *" to tl e sufferers .
