• Licentiate of Apothecaries
• Tne essential opject of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting trom certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
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 «ho are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
penalties, and when wisdom and
Incurring grievous how the se penalties
regret
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence,
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided' and above ell,
that there is seemly any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot appV a cure.
