DTCBITDIABY PIRB ITEAli KTNQSTOIMJPONTHAMES . ( From tht Herald . ) Since Thursday afternoon the greatest excitement has prevailed throughout the neighbourhood of Kingston-upoo-Taames , in consequence of an extensive and dastmctiTe fire which oecorred on the spacious firm known aa Paxk Farm , the property of the Karl of Liverpool . The farm in question was one in which the Noble Earl took e > pecial pride . It is situate near y opposite the groands of Sir John Broughton , on the Ham road , leading from Richmond to Kisgston , and about three quarters of a mile from thai town . The farm is in the occupation of Mr . William Hawkes , his Lordship '* bftlUtf , and consisted of a dwellinghouse , with out-offiees , large barns , cart and waggon sheds , stables , pueonry , - piggery , and other outbuildings , and the rick-yard—in size about two acrescontained three stacks of wheat , three of barley , and eight of hay .
About two o'elock on the afternoon of Thursday the attention of two men , earned Howard and Peters , who were thzssiing in one of thebanu , was attracted by seeing smoke rising above a stack of wheat , part of the produce of the previous year ' s harvest , which stood only a few yards from the doors of the barn , and on runsing out they found one corner of the rick in names , which were fast extending themselves over the stack . They immediately raised an alarm , and by that time the flames being observed by ether persons at wtrk on the farm , thsy hastened to the spot to render assistance Their , efforts wure , however , fruitless ; the fUm . ee extended themselves with fearful rapidity , and within a very few minutes the born , in wkica Howard and Peters were ttirjahine , was on fire from end to end .
The only water on the premises woe from a pump at the comer of the dwelling-house , nearest to the tick-yard , and a small pond , woich was supplied by means ei buckets until the arrival « f the Kingston engines , three of which were early in attendance , as was also the Richmoni engine , which arrived with post horses about three o'clock . By that timfc , however , the tains , c&rwbous&a . ami stables , vtou&a pigeonry and piggery , and two sUcks of ^ ¦^(• k * two wfeariey , and one of hay , were one body . jiJJWtf « rt $ fliwra . being on > y water sufficient to work tm&&tftmgfam 3 tim other two were quite uieless .

rising to a gmt height , the wind carrying them towards the dwelling-house , and threatening its entire destruction . About five o'clock two other stacks of hay Ignited , but by judicious arrangements , in eottiBg them down , some portions of them' have been saved . Almost at the same time , the wind varying a little , the flames were carried with grejsi . force ageimst tke pump from which the water was procured , and which the persons who were working it were compelled to abamdoB , when that , with the woodwork of the windows and . doorway of the waah- 'house , and otter offices , ' wattL instantly on flreV * and the " whole of
tb « dwemng-hoo » e appeared inevitably doomed to destruction . At that juncture , however , ' an aperture was made in the roof , and by that means the branch of one of the engines btfng brought to bear upen the flames from tile inside , the dwelling-house was almost miraculoasly saved . Wet cloths were then placed over the remaining ricks to preserve them from the flames , which raged with great fury until between nine and ten o'clock at night , when they became so CM exhausted as to * llay all fears of their extending ftothex . The eugraes were , however , kept in operation during the night . ' '
Within a very short lime . after the discovery of the fire , Inspector Dewsett and a strong party of ttie V division' of police were in attendance from Kingston aad assisted most materially , not only in exUnguishmg the flames , but also in keeping back the crowd of perbqbb , Which was very great Most of the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood assisted to the utmost of their power ; amongst thexnost conspicuous of whomwas Mr . Sudlow Boots , the surgeon , of Kingston . . ¦ On Friday , the reporter visited the scene of devautatiovaad , from , the inquiries he made , there is no donbt u ^ -fire was caused by the act of some inoendiary . All that remained « f the well-stocked farm was the dwelling-house , one stack of wheat , three stacks of bay , and portions of two , others , the remainder being a heap of smoking embers , on which the engines were still playing .
The wheat stack on which the fire commenced , It appears , stood with one end abutting upen a lane-called Ellis-lane , leading into Ham-road , and the other end towards the bam In which the men were thrashing , and the man Howard states that when he first discovered the flames they were proceeding from a small space , about three feet above the ataddles , which were three feet from the ground , and their extension was so rapid thatalmoat before they could ran to the dwelling-house the bam was on fire . By the side of the wheat rick , and between that aad the next rick , was a passage leading into Ellift-lane , by which means it is supposed
the incendiary obtained access for his infernal object It also appeara that the workmea on the farm , instead of exerting thtmselves fo * the preserratien of the carts , waggons , and agricultural implements , all ran to the dwelling-heuse to get out the furniture , whieh was mostly broken in doing so , whUe the more valuable property was left to born , and was all con sumed , with the exception of a solitary spade . Some idea may be formed of . the power and fury of the flames from the fact that the -woodwork of the pump from which the chief part of the water Was procured was all consumed , and the lead even melted .
During Thursday evening the workmen oa the farm were interrogated by the police as to their knowledge of the origin of the fire , and their , statements taken down in writing ; and during Friday , it having transpired that the man Peters and a man named Young had since given different versions of the matter , they wane again examined , but were ultimately discharged . The police are actively engaged in endeavouring to unravel the mystery in which the affiUr is at present enveloped . The damage i * estimated at about £ 3 , 000 , part Of whieh ia covered by an insurance in the Royal Excaanse Fire-office . c

DREADFUL FiSES IN SOUTHWARK . ( Fr < m Tiutda ^ M Timet . ) Yesterday morning , the metropolis was visited with a recurrence of those dreadful calamities—destructive fires , which , it is to be regretted , have been so numerous latterly in all parts of the country . Those about to bs described teok place in the borough of Southwark , and , from their magnitude and close proximity to each other , caused the utmost consternation and alarm to the inhabitants and excitement in the public mind , which continued until a late hour last evening . The first fire broke
out about five minutes past twelve o ' clock , in the extensive factory of Messrs , Samuda and Brothers , engineers and boiler-makers , situate in Park-street , Backside . The factory consisted of aa extensive three-story building , principally composed of wood , with large outhouses and offices attached , and was perfectly obscured by the immeBse mass of wareh * uses and buildings around it , and the only access to it was by a narrow lane leading from the dry arches on the left-hand side appreaeh to SouttxWaA-bridge . The flre was first discovered by a police-constable of the M division , on duty in the neighbouriiood , who for some time previous to seeing any signs of fire fancied he smelt wood burning , but could not conjecture , although he made diligent search
to ascertain , whence it proceeded . About the time above mentioned , beAbaerred some aparlu fly over the houses in Park-street , and being then convinced that his suspicions were not without foundation , he lost no time in giving information at the Fire Brigade engine in the Southwark-bridge-road . The engiae was got out and was on the mement of starting when the flames were bserved to burst out with tremendous violence , and to show a great light over the whole metropolis . On the arrival of the engine in question , some delay was occasion by the gates of the premises being closed and strongly barred with . They were , however , rpeedily bunt © pen , when the factory was discovered to be in one mass of flame . Wat « being proesrad , aeveral firemen entered tho yard with
the hose , but were fetoed to make a precipitate retreat the beat being too intense to bear . Twenty minutes had not elapsed before the roof fell in , forcing the walls outwards in its decent The instantaneous and vivid light pzodsevd by the flames brought engines to the spot from all parts of London almost simultaneously to the amount of about ten in number , under the command of Mi . Braidwood , and although the greatest expertaess was shown in getting them into active operation before the roof fell in , their exertions appeared to have little or no effect upon the burning mass . On the outer walla of the factory falling , great fears entertained for
were the « arKranding warehouses and buildings , several of which had become fired by the occurrence . Among these were the spacious premises of Messrs . Vincent and Pugh , brandy rectifiers , extending into Park-street ; those of Mr . Sandeman , engineer , and the backs of several wooden dwellings in Hormes-court , tenanted by poor families , and the hop warehouses of Mt Smith , at the back part of the factory ; and , but for the strennoas efforts of the firemen , there is little doubt the whole would have fallen a sacrifice , as they formed a complete square , and the burning factory occupied the centre . They were , notwithstanding , damaged to a serious extent
During the endeavours of the firemen to rescue the surrounding property , the factory itself still continued to blase with unabated fury , and to emit large burning embers , many of which reached the eity side of the Thames , and others Southwark Bridge , the wind at the time blowing strongly from tike south-west By halfpast one o ' clock the fire had- expended itself to a very great degree , and , by the continued masses of water being thrown upon it , sooa after became sufficiently subdued to prevent further alarm . At two o ' clock , several of the engines were withdrawn , by order of Mr . Braidwood , their services being deemed no longer necessary , and he , together with Henderson , the foreman of the brigade stations on thl Surrey side of the river , was about to ascertain the
exteat and nature of the property destroyed , when an alarm was raised by the police that another fire had broken out in the neighbourhood , on the premises knswn as the Southwark Bridge Wharf , occupied fey Messrs . Alfred Resling and Co ., timber merchants , £ c , and which proved to be too true . These premises , which are not more than 150 feet from the first fire , face the Thames , adjoin Southwark Bridge , and extend backwards into Park-street The enttae / . plaee was occupied with immense stacks of timber , reaching from the ground nearly to the summit of the bridge . A portioH of tke wharf extended under the dry arches of Southwark Bridge , and were occupied by the firm as saw mills ; and the whole property is estimated to be of between £ 2 o , o « o and £ 30 , 000 value . Immediately
on receipt of the information of this second calamity , the engines about to leave the first fire , and others , were directed to go to it On looking through the gates fire was to be seen upon the ground , but it appeared so trifling that Gerrard , one of the men , fancying that he could put it out with a bucket or two of water , jumped over the wharf wall , the gates being fastened . He had scarcely done so , when the flamea shot forth from the timber instantaneously , it being dry deil . So sudden was the bust of flame upon him , that his life would havo bean sacrificed , had not his comrades , alarmed by his cries , instantly broken in with their pole-axes one of the panels of tho gates , through which they dragged him . In an instant after , an immense stack of timber at this , the south
side of the wharf , shot up in one body of flame , to nearly the height of one hundred feet , caused , probably , by the draught of air between the planks of which it was composed . The land engines commenced playing immediately , and the Urge iron floating engine moored off one of the piers of the bridge was brought alongside the river front , and get into operation in order to save the great quantity of timber in that portion of the wharf , and the ad joining property in Horsehoe-alley , occupied as dyewood and drag-mills , belonging to Messrs . Hutchinson and Co ., to which latter it extended at its outbreak . The fire burnt with fury for several bears , and was sot wholly subdued until nearly six o ' clock , havinjr effected the total destruction of the
ButLthern portion of the wharf and timber therein , as also the saw-mills and workshops under the Sonthwark bridge-read . The fire is supposed to have originated in censeqa&Bce of some of the burning embers from the previous one having fallen amongst the timber ; but it is a singular fact that a fireman named Wing was despatched by Mr . Braidwood during the raging of the former to carefully examine the premises and to remain on them in case of danger . He did so , sad there was at the same time a watchman also on the premises , but who refund , after he had found all safe , to let him suy . It was supposed the watchman must have gone to sleep , as his hat was found in the counting-house ,

Alariiino and Destructive Fire . —On Thursday evening , about six o ' clock , a fire broke out in a large © oiliers warehouse belonging to Mr . Hobson inTeter-street , near By water ' s Room . Engines were immediately upon the spot , but all effortswere comparatively useless . The building , which is four stone * high , was completely consumed * and left nothing but a mere ekeleton . Three beautiful houses Ml a sacrifice to the devouring element . The amount of loss sustained by the partie * owning the building has not been accuratel y ascertained . The building is valued at £ 3 , 000 , the whole of which is insured in the county office . Great praise ia due to the firemen , whose exerttfcns eared tho surrounding property .

The flames ascended to ^ high that they were plainly observed fourteen or ftftein
miles from the spot : indeed , at Stookport the fire appeared as distinct as thfagh it was not m . 0 T 0 fa hair a- mue distant . Too much praise cannot be given to the property-destroying * working'men , whoHsed every means , and exerted toemselves to the greatest extent , in getting out the goods , to save them from the deetmotive element . ' THere are five warehouses completely WBBumedv and « ie loss mast be very serious . There were five engines on the spot , but all efforte were abortive , exeept M « w the adjoining buildings . So great was tbeflrej that the engines were employed ail day on Snaday in playing on the buildings , to prevent another outbreak . The ST ^ S- ^^ w three times thelwikht of the btuldiogs . We have not heard yet whether the parties are insured .
TEETOTAL LECTURE . The following leetvre wta last week delivered by Mr . Griffin , at the room in Titwrtreet , before a numerous audience :-- ' ' ' ¦ _ ¦ ' ¦ The Lectcbb * said b ^ hoped they would' excuse any imperfections whieh might appear ia his lecture . He was one of their own rank , and his enly object was to benefit mankind . The working classes wanted not charity , but justice : they wanted not to be the recipients of public , generosity , but to inherit their personal and political rights . More than this they did not want ; less would never satisfy them . Bmnkenness was one of the greatest evils of this country , and it was the duty of every man who laid claim to the title of a Christian philanthropist or patriot , to come forward
and use every exertion to banish such an evil . Although the working classes were eppressed very severely by Government , there were thousands who . oppressed themselTes by intemperance ; therefore , it would be more consistent for men first to cease oppressing themselves , and then of course they woujd be in a better condition to prevent a Government from oppressing them . His object was to prove , If possible , to the working men , that they could do . without intoxicating drinks , and that , consequently , with the fact p ainly before their eyes of it being a curse to the nation , they were in duty bound to abstain from it He rrjeiced that the nature and operations : " of Temperance Societies were daily becoming better understood and more generally approved . By
the diffusion of Information the public attention has become aroused to a sense of the awful prevalence aud disastrous effects of drunkenness . The benefit of total abstinence associations were seen and acknowledged-, thousands who once looked upon them with indifference , suspicion , or eentempt , were become their active friends and supporters , and he hoped and trusted the good cause would continue to advance to that climax of patronage and support among Chartists which It so justly claimed . There was every reason to believe that there never was an era in the history of tke fallen race , when the vice of drunkenness prevailed to such an alarming extent , or was productive of such an awful amount of crime aad calamity as at the present day . In former ages the dupes of habitual drunkenness were
comparatively few , but now the sin ceunted up a great proportion of the community as its victims . TU 1 within the last seven years , they had considered that beer was a useful beverage . Nay , that it was not only useful , but that we could not perform our labour without it But at the present day there were thousands of living witnesses , both in this country and our sister island , to the truth of their not only being able to perform their labour without drink , but that they are better ia body , in pocket , in mind , and circumstances , and can do better a great deal without than with . The child from the cradle was tutored to drink the accursed draught , and the appetite formed in youth strengthened as they grew ; and thus it was that drunkards abounded . All Pacha , one of . the wisest of
princes that sat on the throne of the Pharoah * since the day * of Joseph , without regard to wealth or rank , had chosen about twenty ef the most intelligent youths in all the land of Egypt , aad sent them to England to be instructed in all the wisdom of the British peppla Now , imagine them on their return assembled in the presence of the great monarch who sent them to give a report of what they had learnt and . seen 7 . W ^ Ui truth and justice they , might thus address him ;—" Wisest of princes live for ever ! We cannot sufficiently admire the learning , skill , and diligence of the English people . Theb ? steam navigation , steam erigiaes , and railroads enabled then to travel with the speed of the eagle ; their printing-press and poat-offlce waft intelligence of passing events in a few hours to
the remotest parts of the empire ; theb ? machinery performs the most curious operations and manufactures useful and ornamental articles of exquisite workmanship in illimitable quantities almost without labour ; they float ships on every sea ; their commerce extends to the remotest parts or corners of the earth ; and , in fact , they may be taken aa the meridian of perfection in every thing which is calculated to give happiness and contentment to the people . But in architecture they are far below our great ancestors , and in the most important conerns of life , religion , morals , and government , they are much inferior t » ourselves . Drunkenness , with , its necessary attendants—poverty , misery , -Crime , and depravity of every description—prevails to a most alarming extent in every part of . the country .
Their ignorance , prejudice , and infatuation ^—as to intoxicating drinks—is wonderful . As soon as the infant comes into the world the first food it takes is a little » f ita mother ' s gruel , mixed with brandy , to cleanse its stomach and bowels . This producing pain and disease , gin is mixed with its food to remove it . The nurse doctor and all the gossips that called to see the good woman are treated with drams . In a few days the rite of baptism is performed , and is celebrated with drinking . The child ' s bir th-day in each surrounding district is kupt with drinking . He is sent to school , and when he returns home at the vacation , papa and mamma and darling xtdoice , and drink wins to each other . He is next bound apprentice , and must pay his footing In drink . He has served his
apprenticeship , and they drink to celebrate his freedom . He is a journeymen , and has to meet at the publichouse to receive his wages . He Is married , and it is a drunken festival He dies , and mourners get drunk at his funeral . Thus if is , that from the time he comes into the world till he leaves it , each succeeding change in his condition is celebrated with drinking . He is drunk into the world , through the world , and out , of the world . It is the same in business . If a tradesman or commercial traveller be seeking orders , he treats his customers with drink :, when the goods are paid for , the customer must bare a glass , and his workmen a gift for drink At sales and auctions , large bowls of punch are provided , wine , ale , fcc , to make the bidders half drunk and fools before the business begins ; to induce them to bid like madmen , and many tradesmen ruin themselves by bargains made at sales while in a

THE SPEECH OF SHARMAN CRAWFORD AT THE "ULCER" MEETING .
Mr . Sharman Crawford came forward and said : My Lord and Gentlemen , I trust it is unnecessary for me to tell you with what delight I come forward to second a resolution which demands for Ireland equal rights equal privileges , and equal laws with England . ( L » u < cheers . ) I demand that for Ireland which Britain enjoys , and I demand it on the principle that no useful connection can exist between the countries without it An equality of rights and an identity of interests form tha only true basis upon which a permanent union can be usefully maintained . ( Cheers . ) ; And I know , my Lord , that you , and thuse with , whom your Lordship acta , will never rest content until that demand U granted . For my own part I will never rest Content whilst Ireland remains in a state of political inferiority
to the sister country . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The same demand that we now make was made by the Volunteamjrf 1782 ; and we are here to-day , my Lord , endeavotuing to promote the same principles which that glorious body advocated ; and we now fearlessly proclaim in the lace of the world that Ireland shall never submit to a degrading inequality with Britain . ' . Cheers . ) The first and mutt important point to which I will allude is the franchise , which has been already brought under your consideration In the admirable report which you have beard read . By that report it Would appear that the numerical proportion of those entitled to the franchise in England to those who already enjoyed that right is as one to eighteen and a half ? in Scotland the proportion is as one to thirty $ whilst in unfortunate
Ireland only one to seventy-seven eijoy that right , the other seventy-six being robbed of it ( Cries of " Shame . " ) Yeskit , was a shame that Inland should be so treated ; but her people were so accustomed to injustice , that what would not even for a moment be bone with in other countries , was paused by here almost without remark , or at least without remonatasnee * Such , however , is not the ease at present The growing spirit and intelligence of th * people will not longer permit them to submit to degradation and insalt I ask you , shall Ireland remain longer in that position ? ( Cries of " ¦ No , she shall not" ) No , I am quite certain she shall not ; and no heneet Irishman ought to rest satisfied until he sees his country upon a perfect equality with England in point of political
rights . Then , in the first place , 1 st us demand an extension of the franchise fully equal to what bin England ; and when it is further extended there , a * In point of justice it ottght to be , we shall demand a etwresponding extension > f our , rights in Ireland ; and 1 will even say that If the English were to be apathetia enough to slumber in the pursuit' or their wn rights , I' see no reason why Ireland should not lead the way . ( Cheers . ; For my own part I rely very muoh Mpon-soioioplet ** union of Reformers in England , Ireland , and Scotland , la removing what is defecttve In the constitution of the country , aad restoring ii to what it was originally Intended to Ko . by Magna Charts . It is upon this principle that our committee has proceeded , and this resolution fully attests bow sincerely we wish to see it carried out .
We have shaped our course so as to concede everything to Reformers of erery class ; but at the same time we scorn to soeetuab for » moment , er to couoed * one iota to the hereditary enemies of our country . Left there be nothing like division ; let every Reformer holdout the tight hand of friendship to his brother Reformer , although they may be far from agreeing in details , with regard te certain measures ; and if this b * done in the true spirit of sincerity and kindness , Ireland will yet see glorious days . ( Cheers . ) It was by those means that CatheUe emancipation was obtained ; and by those means the rights and liberties of all classes of the people wlU ultimately triumph . ( Cheers . ) We most bear and forbear . Catholics and Protestants should remember that they are subjects of the same state , and that
any laws enacted for . any rights extended to > any partieular class or creed , must lead in the end to evil results , aad be detrimental to the interests of the country ; they should , therefore , join hands , and with united hearts , seek for the attainment of those measures that must be beneficial to all . ( Loud abeers . ) I would s » y to my Protestant fellow-countrymen who may find fault with their Catholic brethren , or fancy that some of them are too violent in the cause they take , that they ought to remember the great provocation they have received ; that they have been called aliens In blood , in language , and in religioa ; and that on the whole , they should rather consider tbem forbearing under the gross Insults that » rt heaped upon them , than find fault With some of them for their violence
Let them recollect , that their religion , whieh was that of the great portion of the Christian worid , has been stigmatised in the foulest manner ; that they have been called perjurers and idolaters , and that no epithet that calumny or malice could invent was thought too bad for them , ( Hear . ) Yob all know the attempt that has been made by Stanley to take away even the semblance of rights which we have ; that attempt will be renewed unless the Irish people act with energy and spirit I tell you , then , that there is not' a moment to be lost It is a happy sight to . see the landed proprietors coming forward to advocate the rights of the people . The association will , I trust , place the aristocracy in a new position ; it will show them that the time has arrived when there is no
security for them unless they act In such a manner that theb ? interests shall be united with the interests of the people . ( Cneers . ) This association will set the glorious example of the aristocracy of the country uniting with the people in one common cause . In conclusion , I will say that I adopt the sentiment of the glorious Qrattan , '' Never to rest satisfied -whilst oa « link of the chain of slavery clanks about the feet of the people . " Mr . Crawford sat down amidst long continued peals of applause .

A MOST singular document haa recently been brought to Hght , and is nowin the possession of the : Rev . Wii . Axthxb , of East Peckham : it appears to have bwn written by the celebraled OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this document to a relation : it is written on parchment , and although upwards of two hundred yean old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extracts"These do certifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method , ofpreservuig bealkh , which by ye grace of Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age .

. Pan « p « nt mHck of his time in the study of the Vegetable world , and has fortunately left behind him , though long hid to the world , the valuable fruits Of his labours . Besides the valuable receipt from which Parr ' s . Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS ., pieces written in bis old quaint Style , on the value of health ; his opinions , thoogh Somewhat differently expressed , were that the varieties of clime and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple and easily understood , but they require perfect obedience .
The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a very able chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Pear ' s to be made into Pills , and although only a space of eighteen months have elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , cases which possess the very opposites as regards oat ward symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effect s on the blood produced by these medicines isperfeotly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for
years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as the greatest Of the many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , nsBEoles , and even solid bone : this being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other . ¦¦¦ ¦¦ , •••
Cases of every description have all been oared simply by the use of Park ' s Live Pills , thas showand requiring different treatment , all ori ginated in the same canse , arid can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as pure and nannlees as new milk ; , and may , be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound aleep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of hia subject .

The Work whieh is now presented to ib * public is the result of very extended experience ina class of diseases and affections , 'which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indif&senee , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into , the details of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrifio consequences , social * moral , and p hysical , whieh are sure to follow fromi indulgence , in certain habits , would be entirely out ef place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation * ho we ver < in saying that there ia no member of society by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such person to hold th * relation oi aPABENT , a PRECEPTOR , or & CLERGYMAN .
The PARENT , who beholds his . beloved child pining away , and . fast approaching , to * premature grave in consequence of some disease , which , for want of a careful investigation of i |» real oause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on ¦ eru 8 ing this work , be' astonished to find that in nine-tenthe of the oases of young persons of both Bexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary eonsumption , heart disease , tabes , &a , the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected . The PRECEPTOR , alao , who holds temporarily , at least the reUtion and responsibility of a parent , will , by perauing tbiatwork , be directed , and very much assisted in investigation and detecting the too
often concealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a standard whereby to judge , when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges , what the real cause of such attaok may be , and thus he will be enabled to cheok the evil in its incipient state . The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character ia at onoeconoencrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature ' of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished . .
MesBrs . CURTIS and CO . are to be consulted daily at their residence , No . 7 , Frith-street , Soho , from Ten till Three , and Five till Eight in the Evening . Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint , the symtoms , age , general habits of living , and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be aooompanied by the usual consultation fee of £ 1 , without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases , the most Inviolable secrecy may be relied on .
