THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.—
Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the
Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded
resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey.
The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth,
laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial
cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from
the consciousness of humiliating infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri-
monial discords and scandals, described in conventual par-
lance, as " unaccountable" and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form such a prominentconstituentin human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised
Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., has been engaged for 20 yearsin the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on "Self-Pre-
servation" describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main-
tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life.
