The Horticultural Part Edited by Professor Lindley. T* MONTHS since the Proprietors of THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE announced their objects in undertaking this Journal, and if the support they have received may he considered as a test of the satisfaction of the Public, they have every reason to believe that their exertions have been appreciated, for it has already attained a sale far beyond any con. temporaryol a like character—a sale w.nch has gone on progressively increasing from Janoarv to the present moment, and "has so far exceeded their own sanguine expectations THAT NO LESS THAN THREE EDITIONS OF THE EARLIER NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED To MEET THE CONTINUED DEMAND. They now, therefore, need only refer to the past as an earnest of the future, and announce, for the information of the public generally, tlie nature of the publication. The plan followed is, in THE FIRST PLACE, to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a weekly record of evervthing that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or Garden Botany, and to introduce such Natural Historv as has a relation to o A o ot ever-v new work of importance on these subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY GARDENING OPERATIONS, given in great detail, and adapted to tbe objects of persons in every station of life, so that the Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Manager of extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the routine of operations which the vaning seasons render necessary- roreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects, wiih illustrative wood-cuts (112 have already been given)— Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings at home and abroad —Notices of Novelties and Improvements—in short, every thing that can tend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his employer. Replies to all questions w iether practical or theoretical, connected with the object of the Paper are also given weekly in great detail. Ana although the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal, yet it contains full reports of the proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society, and much valuable information upon the more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of inquiry. ° J IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and political News is introduced, which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on ibis head further than to say. that the Proprietors do not range themselves under the banners o any party iheir earnest endeavoui s are to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts onU-a Newspaper in the true sense of the word-leaving the reader to form his own conclusion aud opinions: their object being the elucidation and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of information concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself wiih any other Weekly Paper. ■" r J ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25th, WILL BE PUBLISHED, Neatly bound in cloth, with Title-page and Index price £ 1 6s THE VOLUME FOR 1841 OF THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.

ASHLEY COOPER'S BOTANICAL PURIFY- ING PfLLS are established by thirlv years' experience, are prescribed hy most of the eminent Physicians and Surgeons in London, and are always administered at several public Hospitals, as the only certain remedy for Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Strictures, mid all other forms of Venereal Diseases in either sex, curing in a few days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. Theiroperalion is imperceptible they do not require the slightest confinement, or any alteration of diet, beverage, or ex- ercise They do not disagree with the stomach, nor cause anv offensive smell to the breath, as is the case with all oilier medi- cines in use for these complaints and after a cure efiected bv the use of ese pills, the party will not experience any return of the complaint, as generally occurs after taking Halsain of Copaiba, and other drugs of the like nature, which, only possessing a local action, merely suppress the complaint for a tiine without eradi- cating it from the constitution, and the patients on undergoing a little more fatigue than ordinary, find all the symptoms return, and that they are sufi'ering under the complaint as much as at lirst and are at last constrained to have recourse to these pills its ihe only certain cure. They are likewise a most elHcient remedy for Pimpled Faces, Scnrf, Scorbutic aftections, and Eruptions ( f I be Skin, Sore Legs, and all other complaints arising from an impure state of the blood. Captains of vessels should makeapointof always taking them to sea, their unrivalled efficacy in curing se irvy being known throughout the world. The following letter, selected from numerous other professi recommendations forwarded to the proprietor when lie first offe red these pills to the public, may be considered interesting. From that eminent Surgeon, the late Joshua Brookes, Esq. F. R.S. Professor of Analomv, &c. &c "Theatre of Anatomy, Blenheiin-street. II Dear Cooper-I have tried your pills in numerous instances, nml ihj c.antii(i opinion is, that they are a most improved fystem treatment for those peculiar complaints for which yon recommend them, curine with rapidity, and willi a certainty that I had never before witnessed; but what I consider their most valuable property is, that they entirely eradicate the complaint, and never leave those distressing secondar) symptoms (that harrass the patient for life) which usually arise after the use 01 those uncertain remedies, Mercury and Copaiba. 1 think yon cannot fail II. have a very large sale for them. 11 Believe me jours, veiy truly, JOSHUA BROOKES." Dr. Borragan presents his compliments to Messrs. Hannay and Co.. and writes to say, that having for some years prescribed Ashley Cooper's Pills to his patients with the most successful results, he feels called UpOD to add his testimony to their great efficacy in cniiiig sexual diseases, aim they dpserve WFII of the public and profession. The Pmifyiniy Drop, are also a mostinvaluable antiscorbutic medicine. Dr. B. has found there be a decided specthc for those eruptions of the skin which frequently appear at the rise and fall of the year." Ashley Cooper's Botanical Purifwng Pills are so!d in boxes at 2s.9d.and wholesale and retail, at Hannay and General Patent Medicine Warehouse, 63, Oxford-street, the corner of Well-street, London, wrere Ihe public can be supplied with every Patent Medicine of repute ( with an allowance on taking six at one time), warranted genuine and fresh from the various makers.

ENERATIVE INCAPACITY, ITS ORIGfN k* AND CONSEQUENCES. There are several causes of impotence or inefficiency, among the most prominent may be ernieraled solitary habits (self abuse), libertinism, intoxication, lesidence in tro. picat climates, &c. The fearful effects arising from thu unfortunate situation, are nocturnal infirmities, general debility, loss of appetite, ill. digestion, head-ache, shaking of the hands, lowness of spirits, nervous irritability, frequently terminating in mania, wasting of the system, and premature death. What a gloomy object of contemplation is a man in the full vigour of life, and apparently in perfect possession 01 his faculties, enduring the dreadful consequences of his own indiscretion, deprived of all consolation, his hopes blighted, the prospect of his existence clouded, a blank-a mere blot in the creation. The CORDIAL BALM OF INDICA invigorates the nei vous system, removes general and local de- bility, whether arising from self abuse or any other cause, gives tone to the stomach, improves the appetite, enriches and purifies the blood, re- stores the natural spirits, imparts energy and vigour to the mind, and for the cure of sexual weakness is unrivalled; in diseases peculiar to women its efficacy has been tested by thousands.—This invaluable Me- decine is prepared only by Messrs. JORDAN and Co., CONSULTING SURGEONS. 7, COLLI.GR GREEN, BRISTOL, and 211, SOUTHAMPTON- STREET, HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON, in Bottles, at !)s. each, or three quantities in one, for 2ts. duty included, whereby 5s. is saved. The S5 cases may be had as usual at any of the Establishments, the pur- chasing of which eliects a saving of Ii. lis. A Treatise it, just published, in demy Svo., by Messrs. JORDAN and Co. on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, illustrated with engraving, contain- ing plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above complaints, with Observations on Seminal Weakness, &c., and is given, gratis, with each box of their Botanical Pills, price 2s. !>d. and 4s. 6d. each. The rash, indiscriminate, and unqualified nse of mercury has been productive of infinite mischief, under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease, the untutored think they have only to sa turate their system with mercury, and the business is accomplished; fatal error, thousands are either mercuria lize,1 out of existence, or their constitutions so broken, and the functions of nature so impaired, as to render the residue of life miserable; happy is the man who, under these afflictions, has a medical adviser with whom he can in confidence com- municate. The Botanical Pills completely root out every particle of in. sidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids, and not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours in a manner so mild and imperceptible, as to convince the most sceptical of their nn. equalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineial, and 4 may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery, they require no restraint of niet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a perfect cure without the least exposure to the patient, at any time when the slightest suspicion exists, it will be well to have recourse to the Bo. tanical Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive. Messrs. Jordan and Co., Consulting Surgeons, 7, College Green, Bristol, and 20, Southampton-street, High Holborn, London, continue to direct their attention to the permanent cure of diseases of the generative system only; to those about marrying they paiticularly addiess themselves; it becomes a sacred duly before entering on that serious engagement to ascertain that the system is per. fectly free from syphilitic virus, and to feel satisfied that not even the slightest inefficiency exists, which, under those circumstances, inevitably leads to impotence to those that are in doobt, a single visit will either fully satisfy their minds, or effcctoally avert Ihe possibility of transmit. ting hereditary disease or a debilitated constitution. Messrs. Jordan and Co. may be personally consulted as usual, either in London or Bristol, from nine in tbe morning till nine at night (on Sundays from nine till twelve), and will give advice to persons purchasing their medicines without a fee.

The Work, a SEVENTH edition of which is now presented to the public, 10,000 copies having been exhausted since itsfirst ap. pearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general prin- ciples, as also by the insertion of several new and highly interfst- ingcases. The book, as lias been already staled, is the result of very aii)ple and daily incrensing experience in a class I) I diseases which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either alto. gether overlooked, or treated almost with indifference, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity ot patients, h..s been encouraged and aroused by this supineuess, 011 the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviiite the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time de- voted themselves exclusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced b, feeling that tact, in investigating the latent sources oi many diseases, arise from secret practices, can only be acquired by an exclusive and undivided intention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instance- daily occurring, wherein atfeciions of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, i which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result front cettitit) baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice.—We feel no hesitation in sa\ nig, that these is no mem- ber of society by whom the book will not he found useful, whe- ther such person hold the relation of a PARENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching :o a premature grave, in consequence of some disease which, for want ut carelul investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find that in nine-ienths of the cases of young persons ot both sexes, who perish ot what ii called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole aud exclusive origin has been the indulgence, in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least) the relation atid responsibility of a parent, will, kjy perusing this Work, be < irecled and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practises so often intro- duced into schools, whereby the health, and ultimately the lives, ot his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless ihe evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through tiie intricate mazes ot this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge when delicacy of health should ap- pear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at onct- concentrated 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 relin- quisled.— Extract from the Sun Evening Paper.

By R. & L. PERRY & CO., CONSULTING SURGEONS, 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds, ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS THE SILENT FIJE", A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON VENEREAL AND XA SYPHILITIC DISEASKS, in tbeir mild and most alarming forms, shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal Disorders, including observations on the baneful effects of GONORRHEA, GLEETS, and STRICTURES. The work is embel- lished ivith Engravings, representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the Skin, by Eruptions oh the Head, Face, and Body, to which are lidded very extensive ob- servations on Sexual Debility, Seminal Weak ness, and Impotencv, brought on by a delusive habit, all its attendant sympathies and dangerous consequences considered, with the most approved mode of Treatment and Cure, without confinement or interruption from business, the whole accompanied by explanatory Engravings, with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are inoapaciated from entering into the holy state of MARRIAGE, by the evil consequences arising from early abuse, or syphilitic infection. This invaluable Work will be SECRETLY inclosed with each Box of Perry's Purifying Specific Pills (Price 2». 9d., 4s. 6d., and lis. per Box), and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum (price 118.. and 33s. per bottle), and is pointed out to SUFFERING HUMANITY as a SILENT FRIEND to be consulted without exposure, and with assured confidence of success. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of lite, and is therefore calculated to afford decided relief to those who by early indulgence have weakened the powers of their aye tem, and fallen into a state of chronic debilitv. In such persons, the appetite is generally defective, and tbe relish of life almost subdued they are wanting in that activity of mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require, and partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co Surgeons, particularly designed tbeir Cordial* BALM OF SYRIACUM, which is intended to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, nave ruined their constitutions, or in their way to t'Je consumma- tion of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previ- ous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, exoesses, irregularii v obstructions of certain evacuations, weaknesses, total impoteecv' barrenness, &c. Nothing perhaps weakens the mind so moch as pernicious praotices, which take possession of the whole mind and alien- tion, and prevent its votaries from following their respective vo- cations, by engrossing their ideas, even when thev should be em- ployed in devotion or business; rendering them Mupid, dull, and thoughtful, and destroying their vivacity, cheerfotneM, and health, by bringing on consumption, and all that dreadful train of complaints which make them timid, whimsical, and ridiculous. Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv- riucom will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the consti- tution, so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, in- digestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate oonghs, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all nervous disorders, fits, bead-aches, weaknesses, heaviness, and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the mind, Ya- pours and melancholy, and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. In sickness of the stomach, fla- tulencies, or obstructions, it is safe and powerful; and as a puri- fier of the blood, it has not its equal in the world This Balsamic Cordial may be justlv enumerated amongst the foremost of these happy discoveries which medical research has procored as tbe blessings of the human race, and greatest counteractive to hunan misery thousands at this moment in the United Kingdom, live to praise the day they first made trial of this restorative. Numberless persons, whom imprudence or misfortune bad re- duced to the afflicting necessity of renouncing for ever theoen- solations of marriage have become parents by tbe use of this Be dicine, and received as it were a second existence, in the birtb of a beautiful and healthy offspring. Some induced by gratitude, and a desire of communicating the relief they have experienced themselves, permitting Messrs. Perry to give their names to the world and testified with the utmost cheerfulness, both their own infirmities and the obligations they owed their medicine; Messrs. P. availed themselves of their permission, so Ion; as the Cordial Balm of Syriacum had any need of external testimony in its fa- your but its properties and efficacy are at present so well known, and its reputation so widely and honourably established, that it requires nu other basis to support it.

PERRY & Co. on the oat- side of each wrapper), are well known throughout Europe and Amerioa, to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Goa- orrhaea, Gleets, Secondary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weak- ness, Deficiency, and all diseases of the Urinary Passages, with- out loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business. Tbev have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections, Eruptions on any part of the body, Ulcerations, Scro- fulous or Venereal Taint, being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness, counteract every morbid affection, and restOle weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour. Tbey are particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state, less the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring, with the evil eruptions ot a malignant tendency, and a variety of other com- plaints, that are most assuredly introduced by the Mine neglect and imprudence.
