Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , wherf debility has made ! threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there ! are none to whom , aa Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided theoaro of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those ] salutary cautions this work is intended to convey .. : Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected jby the family physician , bnt they require for their ] safe management tho exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and seoret indulgence in cortain practieesjare describedI with an accuracy and force which display at once profound : reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and seorecy than in " Lucas on Manly v igouk . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a I remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation ; produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage ! The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceived by the outward physical appearance of their y outhful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitation ofthe heart , derangement ofthenervoussystea , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed ; to wrong causes ; and instead , of being the natural-results ofeongeuital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernioious practice , alike destructive to the mind and Body * "—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men [ indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medieal works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in whioh the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we behove generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly Xas in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye !) atl entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the , suffering eonsequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a well * told lappeal to reason , a { permanent blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently t \ e production of a mind long and practically convetfiaut with tbe diaeasea of the most delicate divieion \) f the human organization .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRUCUM . Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired funotions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of ( sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by Vtrhioh the constitution is left in a deplorable state ^ and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error , — into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of these inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her specie ' s ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and ' energy of that season whioh his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or , at least ,, cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the eonsequen ' ces of whioh travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidence of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unliappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse ., j ,, The fearfully abused powers of the humane Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for those eases Messrs . Perry and' Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve' those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence ! of their passions , have ruined their constitutions ! or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotenoy , barrenness , &c . As nothing can } be better adapted to help and nourish the constit'itinn , so there ia nothing more generally acktunvlU ^ u to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness , and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours , and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softening tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriaeum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maturity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring ( should bear enstampedupon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence .

Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medioal attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills beiDg recommended to her . she resolved to give them a . trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the incon « ceiyable adoantage which she has already derived from them . She further states that she is now almost well , aud ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign medicine , Parr ' s Life Pills . Communicated by Mr . Bawden .

The gentlemen of the yeomanry corps hare strong ideas of a kind of military spirit or military honour , which , as they think , implicitly binds the armed fnun 4 o obey , without leserre , the orders of his comsaander .

Ma wiahfor freedom , the censure of the present order of regulated corruption ; aft ¦» reprobated , and ascribed to ; the fatal and alarming progress of French principles . I will not presume to deny , that a great great nation triumphantly contending for- freedom furnishes an apt subject of criminating comparison , and contnpelious reference . I will not venture to insinuate that the atrocities which disgraced the revolution in France stay-all be traced to their trne Bohxoe , in the wickfld and perfidious interference of the eoaleseed powers . But why resort to Prance and . French
principles ? Are example and precept * -necessary to teach men to feel the law which nature has engraven on their hearts ! ilust the faint arid bleeding bond ? maniravel to France to learn that he ! is oppressed when the burthen actually galls his shoulder , and the scorpion lash of his tormentor descends on his back ? That there isjoom—room did I say ? An urgent and imperious necessity far a reform in our corrupted con stituUon , and an amendment in the condition of the miserable people is a truth written in the bleod of the Irish peasant ; and he that runs may read it by the light of the flames that consume the cottage .
There are two parties in this country that like to profess themselves friends of the constitution . The adherents of the one profess an enthusiastic admiration of oar inestimable constitutum , not only in its substance , but in all its present forms ; and think an attachment to the British constitution may be best manifested by vehement expressions of loyalty to the British Sovereign . The other party would willingly concede something to the changes which efflux of timeihaB wrought in the sentiments and circumstances of men , since various parts of the British constitution were first framed and settled as they now exist . According to the opinions of those men , a true regard to the spirit and substance of the constitution , would lead by a blind devotion to mere forms , bnt by a temperate pursuit , through legal
means , to the emancipation of the oppressed Catholics of Ireland , and to & solid and effectual , not an aristocratic and illusory reform in Parliament . Each of these parties accuses Its rival of secret aims dissembled -with cautions art , and far more extensive and alarming than the avowed ostensible objects . The friends of Reform susp&et their opponents of conspiring to extend the prerogative of the crown , an A even of harbouring a covert , wish to effectuate the Union between Ireland and Britain , as the only sure method of rendering permanent the connection ef the two countries . The opposite party chaiga the friends of reform with what they deem an heinous crime , a secret predilection for a Republican form of Government , and a design to attain this darling object , under ; the specious pretext of a Parliamentary BsTorm . i
I hold it fair to judge of men from their professions as long as their transactions are conformable . The secret intentions of the heart ' can be known only to the great searchers of hearts ; but I believe , in fact , that each of the parties I have mentioned might be subdivided into two classes . The first into constitutional royalists , or honest alarmists ,, and the | minions of power ; the creatures and adherents without discrimin ation or free will of every admi&Utratiom who thrive on the abases and corruptions of Government : tke latter into eonstitntional royalist reformers and secret
republican * . The ministerial royalist } abhors all reformers alike as his natural enemies ; for all reformation tends to cut off a g&infal traffic in abuses to remove the disorders in the state , to which these vermin owe their existence and magnitude . On the other hand , tbe friends of reform are apt to consider the persons who dignify themselves exclusively with the appellation of tbe supporters of Government as anemic * of the country , in general , and of the reformer * In particular ; aa persons who thirst for theix destruction , and wish to extinguish all free inquiry { and public spirit :
Impsruallity obliges me to say , that from my observation { anil I converse much with people of both descriptions ) the reformers , though violent perhaps In them politics , are moderate in their demeanour ' compared with their opponents ; and controversy on their parts , ( with , a few . exceptions ' among tbe lower order , } 1 » free from " personal outrage , and has not degenerated into savage ferocity and thirst of blood . TPThat change the eondnct of their adversaries may produce is not easy to conjecture ; the other party are actuated by a rage more than human ; their teeth are spears and arrows , and their tongue a sharp sword . They brand those who differ from them in polities with opprobrious
epithets—incendiariesanarchists—traitors , and rebels No professions of loyalty or sad for the British constitution can appease their fury . Every man who wishes forja Reform in Parliament , or even with the' utmost diffidence intimidates a doubt of the immaculate purity of Government l > oth in theory and practice , is a traitor in his heart , and ihoulclbe cnt off from the face of society They would prefer , as they icrnple not to declare , the open rebellion of the reformers to their concealed hostility . They seek to light the torch of civil discord The sabre thirsts in their bands . They long to immolate thousands , and tens of thousands , at the Moloch-like shrine of a Minister , to -whom myriads of Hecatcombs have been already offered . 1
Such are tbe parties into which the pe » ple of B fls . country seem to be ^ iviaed at present . | Toe TOioa of the moderate and wholly unprejudiced few , ia too faint to be heard between them , much less to restrain their rage . The number of the moderate diminishes daily ; they are like an Isthmus , on which the tide perpetually gains—they will soon disappear , in the tumultuous swelling of the parties that surrounded them . Let us analyze the partie 3 into which Ithe people of Ireland are divided , and resolve them info their component elements—and first let us see which are the classes of men that devote themselves without reserve to the Government party . " The most striking and the most vehement are the clergy of the ; established church . Nor ean it excite our wonder . Their numbers in this
country are unnecessarily great , in proportion * to the numbers of people who are of the » me ' : persuasionand the possessions of the established church in Ireland , are unreasonably , enormously great , whether considered with respect to the numbers of the clergy , er to the aggregate property of the country . Tee established clergy , therefore , view the subject of Revolution with eyes of anxious fear and abhorrence . They are sore and tremblingly alive to everything [ that tends to innovation . They see that the property of the church was sacrificed to the genius of Revolution in France ; and their experience of this renders them inimical to all information , lest it should indispensably lead on to revolution . The majority of the professors and retainers of the law- are of the same party . This I attribute to the extensive influence of the patronage of
the Crown , on a profession , which I fear is too apt to cherish sentiments of selfish venality . There are unnessary and necessary places under Government of an incalculable amount in number and value * in this king , dom ; the collection of the revenue , in particular , is profuse and expensive ia a most culpable degree . By these means the country is overspread with a host of placemen and expectants . To this we may add the military patronage—and we shall find a third class impliddly devoted to the party of Government , and loud and violent in the defence of its very abuses . It is not surprising that in a corrupt rtate of society , the sets of men in question , should blindly devote themselves to the court party . They are ioflaensed by a sense of present interest ; but it is somewhat extraordinary to find the great body of tbe aristocracy of thecocntry ranged nnder the same standaid . :
To trhat shall we ascribe this oblivion of their proper character and functions , this direlection of their situation and inflnence in the community of this base political suicide ? To three causes—a corrupt and neglected education in tbe higher ranks of the community ; a degree of luxury and expense vastly I beyond their means , rendering them at once proud , unfeeling , necessitous , and dependent ; but above all—to the provincial situation of tibs coantry . It is now tome that we should consider the elements of which the other party is composed . ' I
Two very different sects of Christians have concurred in ranging themselves under the ensigns of Reform : the Catholics * f Ireland , sad the Protestant Dissenters . Of these in their order , the Catholics of this country are not what they were in the preceding centuries . We must not judge of them from the violent pastoral letters , breathing the spirit of ancient bigotry and un-Christian disunion , of one or two indiscreet and medlinjf monks , who have happened to obtain high situations in the Romish Church of Ireland . These unhappy priests , if they are sincere in what they profess , do indeed deserve our pity , and perhaps the aid of I > r Willis . If they write from a desire ] of fishing in troubled waters , and at the impulse of men more important than themselves , to instil , with malice
prepence , the poison of religious and civil discord , they deserve the severest reprobation . As- to the great body of the Catholics of Ireland , the beams of philosophy have not dawned t > ntbem in Tain ; they ha-ce revealed to them their true interests , and-animated them with the warmth of benevolence and liberality . They are actuated , 1 am persuaded , with a true love of freedom ; they plainly perceive that re-Hgious distinctions have been too longlemployed for the base purpose of rendering human creatures the dupes of artful and wicked men , and the blind instruments of their own oppression . They stretch forth their arms with an amity truly fraternal to embrace their Protestant brethren of all descriptions . They are ready to concur with them , sincerely and vigorously , in the great work of reformation . ;
The Protestant Disaeuters have been at all times disposed to maintain the cause of freedom ; bat it is a gross error and an high injustice , to eendude , that , because their habits and -manner of life are , comparatively speaking , simple , and their ecclesiastical Governmes has a republican form , that they are of coarse champions for democracy in temporal establishments Many of the dissenters are persons of ) large fortune , deeply interestedln the continuance of public credit We cannot rationally suppose that such persona would bo the friends of anarchy , or the ringleaders of innovation .
The forms of their religion , it is true , exhibit an example of rational equality—and the . pracepts of their religion lead them in common with other Christians whoattend to the spirit and precepts of tbeGospel , to a temperate fire of freedom . This is all that can fairly be inferred from the religion of tile disaeaten with respect to then-political sentiaenta .: The dissenters , in common with their Catholic brethren , have ! learned , by a tedious lesson in the school of adversity ; to be friends to civil and religious liberty , even on a principle of sdfishness , as requisite to their own perfect emancipation , and full enjoyment of civil rights .

To the two great bodies of Catbollw and Protestant Dissenters , I wfllaid certain pnttosopnleal and ipwmlativeminds ; that flUed wltii abstract notions of freedom , and smit with the charms of theoretical perfeo . tioninGoTernment , aim at a general participation ol the rights of man , on the * bread principle « f the Frenc £ Revolution , Such are estimable men 5 bat I apprehend that their nnmber in Ireland is not very great ; I believe they abound more in England . There are also some ambitious , disappointed , oppressed and injured men , particularly In the army , and in the learned profewions , who are disgusted with the impenetrable routine of aTUtocraticiDflaence , the sweepingvortexof court favour , and seek for the gratification of their cupidltyi . their vanity or their vengeance , in a new order of things . These two last descriptions of men do not avow thel * aims ; they conceal themselves among their royalist re
formers , and concur in their measures , as an intermediate step to the object of their wishes . Anargument has been drawn from the republican views of some persons against any concession tothe friends of reform . The answer is obvious , and has been often given , that temperate concessions , perfectly consistent with the continuance of royalty , nay , tending to its perraament establishment , -woiilcl satisfy the major part of the leformexs , and detach , them effectually and immediately from their more violent associates and fellow labourers . What shall we say of the Government that deliberately prefers the state of civil outrage , and a Government by military force to the trial of this mild expedient ? 11 conclude this long acrall , with assuring yon through all changes and chances of this mortal state of the friendship of *> Montxnds .
