This work contains a plain and complete doseription of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
oonciitlons in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, Who has taken the
highest 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
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
iztcr years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of iniceaa-
Leg misery and regret.
