QOC RATES, by his discourse on Maraillßt, so enrap-
-0 tuned his auditors with the subject, that the sass flew
to to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be ; sok
" The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " be the least
agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, the &side-
return of our enjoyment ; teeming not only witl loppeates on
earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonise with bliss
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature front those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
1 neglect of such attention arc attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be•
holder, excite in the sufferer regret and self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effetninize the body-a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre-but excess of every kind will
weaken the system. To all such; then, we address ourselves,
offering hope-energy, muscular strength-felicity ; nut will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multi.
plied proofs of twenty years' successful exprience.
The felicity of married life is sometimes disturbed by the sus.
pension of those blessings which should endear it-for the female
habit is often constitutionally weak-yet it can be strengthened,
and deficient energy improved into healthfulness and vigour.
In every case we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with
effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the
position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general prin-
ciples with leas hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable
integrity as Members of the College of surgeons, we refer the suf.
fering community of either sex (especially those entering into ma.
trimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given
for personal consultation; and letters from the country are imme-
diately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and
Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, bow.
