A GEETAIN DISEASE CURED WITHIN ONE WEEK . In conseqxenee of Dr . Wilkinson's extensive practice he has considered it advisable to remove from Eunslet , to 60 , bottom of Templar-street , for the greater convenience of his patients , where he may be consulted as usual . DR . WILKINSON , Surgeon , Ne . 60 , Bottom of Templar ' s Street , Leeds , continues , with un ? . hated assiduity , to eradicate every species of Infection . In recent ea ^ es , a perfect cure is completed within a week , or no charge made for Medicines after the expiration of that period . And in those of the utmost inveteracy , where other Practitioners have failed , a proper perseverance in his plan of treatment insures to the patient , a safe , well grounded , and lasting re-establishment , consulted with the greatest secrecy and honour , at his house from nine to one , and from four till nine , and on Sundays nil two . He hopes that the successful , easy , aad expeditious mode he has adopted , of eradicating every symptom of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , aad yet preserving the constitution in fell vigour and free from injury , will establish his claims for support . As thi * Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other-visitors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed , therefore the Practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular Case in scc-h a manner as 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 experience can avai ] himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by beiDg able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple ot mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances . In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call fora proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patients labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautious into whose "hand they commit themselves , The propr iety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently pa&sing the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some « f the many symptoms that distinguish this "Disease : —a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the nect , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the bead and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for Theumatism , &c . &c . Patients in the country , by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedie sent to the amount , with directions so simple and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves .

Accident . —Yesterday evening a distressing accident occurred in the Kirig ' s-road , Pimlicd . A lady and gentleman , in a one-horse chaise , ; were observed about six o ' clock , driving rapidly towards Chelsea , the horse continually increasing his pace , and the driver still urging him on with the whip , until the animal , becoming infuriated or unable to distinguish objects , galloped on at the top of his speed , and soon dashed against a lamp-post . The collision pitched out the riders and broke the shafts of the vehicle , and the horse , being liberated by the force
of the shock , left the chaise behind , and continued to run along the road until he was secured . The gentleman escaped uninjured , but the lady was driven against the kerb-stone with such force that she received severe injuries about the head , and other parts of the body , and she wis removed in a state of insensibility to the house of a private family near the spot , where a medical mail attended . We understand the names of the parties to be Air . and Mrs . Thaxton , of the Waterloo-road . The horse and chaise belong to Mr . Grey , Earl-9 treet , Blackfriars . The horse is Hot hurt .
Steam Vessels . —A piece of mechanism has been invented by Dr . Lardner , and constructed for the Steam Navigation Committee of the British Association , which must tend in a great degree to remove the causes which have recently produced so many lamentable accidents in steam vessels . The object of this machine is to keep a .. self-acting register of the state of every part ofthe working machinery and boilers , so that not only the captain and engineers can at all times , by the mere inspection of a sheet of paper , ascertain the state of every part of the machinery oa which its safety and efficiency depend , but the owners of the vessel will have a faithful and accurate record preserved of the state and
performance of the engines every hour during the voyage . On the return of the vessel to port , this scroll or self-written journal being taken out , any neglect which may have been committed either in feeding the boilers , tending the firesjor ^ in a wordy any omission of duty on the part of any person . em ~ ployed about the machinery , will be there noted with the exact time at which such neglect or omission oecured . If a register , therefore , be kept of-the succession of men employed in the several departmentey the culpable party will be made known . The me ; chanism is enclosed in an octagonal case , to be
locked during th . e voyage , and inaccessible to any one on board the vessel , the keys remaining ashore with the owners . A casing of plate glass surrounda the paper scroll on which the performance of the machinery will be written ; so that those in the care of the vessel may see what is written , but cannot interfere with it . This mechanism is now completed , and will be shown during the present week to scientific men and others who feel an interest in such matters , after which it will be placed in the Peninsular Company ' s steam ship the Tagus \ for which this particular machine has been adapted . —Courier . i
. Marlbouough-Street . —— -AWas ^ ing-day Rumpus . Of all days of the year the most important day in the eyes of careful housewives is doubtless a washing day . To make matters pleasant to all the six lodgers in one house in Marlfeorough-court , to which but one yard was attaehedy the landlord had appointed each occupant , on taking a room , an especial day on whichj . the lady-tenant was to have full and entire control of the copper and drying ground , in order to afford her due facility in the discharge of the onerous and neiceasary duties of the wash-tub . The first-floor lodger , with the taking name of Mrs . Susan Comely , had , on Tuesday last , in defiance of weather wise Murphy ' s previous
prognostications , commenced . her monthly ; wash , and was going on swimmingly among the so ap-suds , when an unlooked-for event brought her into contact with Mrs . Stewart , the second-floor lodger , and the result was , that both ladies—litileJbut desperate ^—made their appearance before the magistrates , by virtue of an assault . warrant obtained by Mrs . Comely . The complainant havingdispossd of the customary piece of family biography , the length of time she had been married , the number of children , she had , and the terms on which she had taken her
last lodging , entered into a short digression touching the manifold inconveniences she had pu t op with in consequence of her " wash" being too heavy to be cleverly disposed of in one day . " However , your worship , " said she ,. " a week before I was put to bed with my little Billy , who has jnstcuthis first tooth , and is now very bad with the measles , I said to Mr . Comely , f It does not signify talki / ig , we may as well go and bury ourselves up to our necks in dirt all our lives as to have only one day for our great wash . You havn ' t a shirt to your back , and " 'I havn'ta shimmeeto mine ¦ but what ' s a shame to he
seeny and I in resolved you shall take the next room , and then-wfr stall have the yart twavtojfe one for ferashing , ' ind onefor dicing . ' " - Tbesecamf room , it is needless to sayy was taken , andfroin thar , ; day forward Mrs . Comely becatae entitled to all tfie rights and privileges , a ! far as the yard and copper was concerned , of a double lodger . This arrangement became asource of heart-burning to all the lodgers , and to none less than the defendant ; " Well , " continued the complainant , " you must know , on Tuesday last , jnst a » - the copper ww bilingnicely , anil I'd got all ihy >* smallf * bungpnjt , ¦ . and wasfirsting my , < heavyB , *< tbj » j > pen& pfomM ' cuousl y > by chance , totoot inter the yard / iand fiiew I saw a bit of stinking Wet ' torpet \ Ao ^( rabo > ft f %

Stewart ran at me , tore me about like a lion , and ? made my wet things in such a mess tbat I was obliged to run them all through the suds again , "— " Your Worship , " began the defendant ) * ' I hung out a bit of bed room carpet ,,, not bigger than a pocket handkerchiefy when Mrs . Comely who always wants the yard to herself , came and chucked ifcia the dust-hole .

" - —* ' You can't want the yard two days ruHning , " , answeied the defendant : and "You shan't have the yard { two . days

IMPORTANT OMSBiTIOW IH MIDWIFEBT . ^ ThefoHowing extract from a letter to the Editor of the . ror / tshtreman , is weU deserving of universal atteation , especially from medical men . "On Tuesday , thelSth oft ., my wife , who was within a few days of her expected time of delivery ! havine met with some circumstances which brought on an excitement of mind , was prematurely delivered of a daughter about seven o ' clock in the evening ; soon aftcrthl 8 event , the accoucheur , Mr . John Wilson observing that she was likely , to sink under exhaustion , determined to open the vein of her sister , Mrs . June Stratford , and to inject , a certain quantity of her blood into the veins of my wife ; this > was consequently done , and notwithstanding , in the sBace nf
two hours after , Mrs . Hartley gradnally declinin all the while , pulsation at the wrist virtually ceased ; and on the application of a glass to hermontbit could not be ascertained that she even oreatbedjher attendants concluded ^ naturally enocgb ^ that her spirit had fled ; just at this moment 1 returned from : Scarbro '» where I had been during the day on business , and on learning the particulars of the casei I requested Mr . Wilson , in : whose skill I had every reason to place the greatest' confidence , to call in furtLer assistance if he deemed the same necessary in consequence whereof , Mr . Richard Ripley was sent for , who immediately attended . A consultation was then held by tbe two surgeons , and their determinatipn was ta inject an additional Quantity of blood from my veins , into those of the patient . At the commencement of this second operation , Mrs .
Chapman , a friend of my wife ' s placed her imgers on her wrisr , and on the transfasien of a small quantity , she perceived feeble pulsation * arise , which increased , in pbweraa the quantity of blood injected into her veins increased , and by the time that the medical gentlemen considered they had injected as much as was necessary , my wife opened her eyes and spoke , saying " she was better ; " Hinc © that time she has been slowly recovering , and I feel happy in stating that there is now little doubt of her ultimate , convalescence . Such are the plain facts of the case , and I should not do j ustice te iny own feelings , were I to refrnin from returning my heartfelt thanks to the medical gentlemen in attendance , who displayed the greatest zed , self-possession , and watchfulness on this trying occasion ; believing ^ as I do , that the existence of my wife , at this present moment , is owing to their patience , skill , and
exertions . I am , sir , your obdt . servant , DAVID HARTLEY , Auctioneer Whitby , 6 th June , 1838 .
