REVIEWS AND NOTICES. “To be your own counsel or your own doctor, entails risks that have become proverbial to a degree that prevents much good resolution from taking any benefit or advantage when reasonably offered Suspicion begets irresolution, and where there is no confidence good results seldom follow. Medical books are a field" for the faculty alone, and the public act wisely in refraining from their study. ‘Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring 1 ’ is pood advice where the uninformed mind listening to its own apprehensions, is oftener ready to imagine than asc its cool judgment. There is one class of medico! lore, however that stands in a position somewhat exceptional to ou.t remark, and which treats on disorders and irregularities in which morality is offended. For tins reason the patient ioo often suffers in sec.tct, or pursues in ignorance practices that daily bring him into a more hopeless condition for want of trend ly advice. do such wo recommend a perusal of the * Medical Adviser of Waller D.- Roos, M.D., of Dondon, an established Physician, graduate, and licentiate of all the regular institutions ol London and Paris ; and who has made ncavous disorders and their baneful origin bis particular studv, and obtained such a practice in this branch of thernpentes, as qualifies him to he a safennd competent adviser.” Country Adxistr, May 7th, 18C1. “ The Medical Adviser, by Walter De Poos, M.D., for the class of diseases upon which it treats, is undoubtedly tbe best add most soundly practical book which has come under our notice. The Author is a a man of most enlarged experience.— Deerby Telegraph, June, 29th, 1861. “To those who contemplate marriage its perusal especially recommended.” — Bap. Mag. “ The knowledge it imparts must come some time, and happy they who do not possess it too late.”— Politician. “ Cure is certain in every curable case, and few indeed are they which are not so.” — Med. Review. “It is calculated to efft-et a complete revolution to the treatment ol these complaints.”— Med Gaz. “ Simple and inexpensive, every sufferer may cure himself speecily, privately, and at the least possible cost.” — Scalpel. From long practical observation of the treatment pursed in tbe most famours Institutions of this country and tbe continent, for those diseases referred to in the above work, the Proprietor has bad somewhat unusual faciliites fof acquiring that uniform success which has hitherto characterized bis practice, in which the distressing consequences resulting from the injurious employment of mercury, capivi, sarsapirilla, and cim’.lar dangerous medicines are entire!}’ obviated. Lasting benefit in thrse cases can only be reasonably expected at tbe hands of fobse who devote their chief attention to such diseases ; and to such only can confidence be extended. Dr. De R. refers with pride to the numbers be las been instrumental in rostering to health and happiness ; whilst to all who need such aid he offers every assuranac o' speedy restoration. ) Foreign residents can be successfully treated by correspondence, on sending the detail af their case ; with or Bill on a London house for £5 or £lO, that a package of medicine to meet the exigencies of the case, may be sent out by next mail; thus »voiding the protracted suffering and unnecessary oss of valuable time, which must otherwise occur.
