the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
the Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Ilund-cd and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man-
agement, lor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough

" THE TIMES" on DISEASES and DEATH
from VlCE.—This painfully-interesting subject has
lately been discussed with great ability in the colnmns of the
"Times," the "Lancet," and other leaders of the public
Press. The fearful prevalenc of disease and mortality in
the Army, from the effects of vice alone, has been the special
topic if inquiry, and the facts established are truly startling.
But they would be still more so, nnd even more instructive,
if they comprehended analogous effects amongst the general
community, and especially those arising from evil habits.
which (contracted during the period of unsuspecting youth)
destroy health and self-respect, degrade the future man from
his high functions and privileges, unfit him for an that is
good and noble, and lead to those matrimonial miseries, dis-
appointments, and scandals which so frequently afflict and
disgrace society. The habit alluded to was long since re-
ferred to by the "Times " as cue of the causes of the moral
and physical decay of the Turkish empire. But it prevails to
a fearful extent in more civilised countri a t, and may be de-
scribed " as the curse of the human race."
This momentous subject in all its bearings (and the means
of av
erting
and suppressing the evil, as well as of entirely
of even its worst effects when incurred), is fully and
explained in the 90th Edition of the Treatise on
