DECAY OF THE OTTOMAN POPULA-
TION.—A MORAL LESQON.—Some time since an
article in the Times, on the decay of the Mussulman popu-
lation in Asia Minor, attracted much attention, both amongst
Politicians and physiologists. Referring
Portentous fact, the writer did not hesitate to ascribe it
influence, mainly to one peculiar and vitiatingto the visible and
which is more
destructive of happiness, health, and life than any other in-
dividual cause that could be named.
The truth and soundness of the writer's views were ad-
mitted. It would be most salutary if we could gather from
his reasonings and demonstrations instruction applicable to
our own social condition. Is it not a fact that, in innumerable
instances, matrimonial disappointment and misery, unwilling
celibacy, physical and mental anguish, the existence of which
is known only to the sufferer himself, have their source in
causes the germ of which is often planted in early life, and
the bitter fruit tasted long afterwards.
Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., &c., is the only qualified practitioner
on the Medical Register, and has been engaged for 20 years
in the treatment of these unhappy cases, which, through the
disappointment of just expectations,seriously compromise
family objects and prospects, and prevent the accomplish-
ment of designs on which important interests depend. Ills
essay on " St if-Preservation" contains every information on
these subjects, and may be had from the Author, or from
