The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which hare proauceci more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
ether class of disease known to Modern pathologists, Its perusal is
Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts 01
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, add privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary install man should know, that there are
Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
isancurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of tnecnsalerate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nutY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any decree of shysical infirmity or functional
Serangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
Tiffeauthor has for a series of years been engaged In an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which hays
Unfortunate)y teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
metrics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
(Filth in their pretensions.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION IN JIMEILIC.I.—A. letter from
Detroit, dated the 9th inst., says :—" Last night the
steamer E. K. Collins left this port, between 10 and 11
o'clock, with a large number of passengers on board,
bound from the Sault St. Mario to Cleveland. About
midnight, when a little below Malden, near the light-
house at the mouth of the river, the vessel was dis-
covered to be on fire, and before she could be got ashore
was completely enveloped in flames. The greatest con-
sternation prevailed among the passengers, most of
whom, aroused from their sleep by the fearful alarm, ran
wildly about the decks or plunged at once into the
water. Twenty-three persona perished by fire or drown-
ing. The names of those missing, as far as can be ascer-
taieed, are as follows :—Mr. Dibble, of New York ;
Samuel Powell, Lawrence Whalon, Thomas Cook, the
Pittsburg Railroad agent, all of Cleveland ; Mrs.
M`Neilly, Mrs. Walrons and child, of Ashtabula. Tho
body of the child has been recovered. Fifteen of the
crew are missing. Among the passengers from the
East saved are B. F. Dubois, Philadelphia, and Mr.
Patterson, of Westfield, Chautauque county. A large
number of passengers from the Sault left the vessel at
Detroit. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained.
Tile Collins took fire on the boiler deck, and so rapid
was the spread of the flames tlrat the passengers and
crew were unable to save anything except the clothes
they had on. Immediately after the fire was discovered the
boat was headed for the shore, but was unable to reach
shallow water before the flames bad complete possession
of her. The afterpart of the boat then swung around
into the river, and, nearly all on board being driven to that
part of the boat, were compelled to jump into the water.
The current here runs out very strongly into the lake, and
a very few would have been saved had not Capt: Langley,
of the propeller Fintry, fortunately seen the light, and
hastened to the rescue. All•the boats of the propeller
were manned and sent off, and nearly every soul saved
was through their instrumentality. The few that reached
the shore were in a completely exhausted condition. Some
wretch robbed one of the sufferers of 80 dollars. The
Collins came out as a new steamer last October. She
