The domestic arrangement being thus formed, the reflections to which you must now turn your mind, are the necessary modes of practice and behaviour, that may render you not only eminent in your profession, but respectable in your property; as great events, that contribute largely to the gratification of such wish, do not frequently occur, inferior cases of every kind must be rendered subservient to the purpose. In this list, _venereals_ are entitled to pre-eminence, as the most lucrative; the patient never hesitating to pay full as liberally for the preservation of the _secret_ as the cure of _disease_.—But you may be perfectly assured, this secret never rewards so well, as when _fate_ or _fortune_ assists its introduction to _married families_; a most striking corroboration of this fact, occurred not long since in the neighbourhood of a _royal residence_, and afforded matter of mirth to the first circles in its environs.—This constant friend to the faculty was communicated to a married lady, by a _young_ and celebrated personage of some national eminence, and immediately conveyed from her to her _enamoured cornuto_ in the moments of true _connubial felicity_; he, in the love of variety, unluckily conferred the favour upon the _house maid_; and she, in the extensive liberality of her disposition, kindly bestowed a portion upon the _footman_. The _electrical shock_ of this _French fire_ was so rapidly communicated, that the four sufferers, within the space of ten days, made their separate _private_ confessions to the medical superintendant of the family, each assigning a different cause for its introduction, and equally strangers to the _mode_ of its being brought into so _sober a family_. Although this is a well authenticated _fact_, it is a harvest that can be very seldom expected to happen in so great a degree; yet you will find it a matter often _intruding_ between husband and wife, and considered no indelible proof of _modern inconstancy_.—To this secret, you will be frequently admitted by one party—the other, or both; and have an undoubted privilege to accumulate all possible pecuniary advantage from the confidence so implicitly placed in you.
