AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The
"Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals
have been lately canvassing the social considerations
,in-
volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice. '
Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the
inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in-
cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the
prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any
other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi-
ness and d;sappointing the objects of matrimony, under-
,lining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering,
and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola-
tion through families.
The essential particulars relating to this great social evil
(the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of
maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its
:Alecto, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling
privileges of our being are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S
" SELF-PRESER,VAVION," a Treatise on Nervous and
Ph,-sical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been
published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price Is.,
