The essential object of this treatise is :•1 point out the fearful con-
irr egularities, and excesses,
Sequences resulting from certain habits,
which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
Other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of havi
being is
hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every
human
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, thattedthere are
without
Principles of personal management which cannot be viola
Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed ,
penalties 1
how these
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence,
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterress May be rmoved,
and how the evil and its consequences mar be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical intirinity or function
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a coral.e.
The), tither has for a series of years been engaged n extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empiric% who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.
