Nothing can ever be "removed" from the Internet. You can find your
v24.3 version of ELisp manual, and in it the chapter about advising,
here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20121224105042/http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Advising-Functions.html#Advising-Functions
(Google for "wayback machine" if you want to find old versions of some
URLs, including URLs that no longer exist.)
