This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
:omy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
3onditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert,, who has taken the
llghest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
:refitment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
,age by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
.hrough secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
ter years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ng misery and regret.
