The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting fri,m c .rtain habits, irregularities and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
lood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
ether class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is
particularly re ommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condiVon, and whe are conscious of hating hazarded
the ealth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled. The A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an
extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints,
and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which
no grade of society is free Their treatment has unfortunately been
too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant em-
pirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names
and titles, and pretended virtues 01 their patent nostrums, inflict
great injury on those who are induced to place faith in '..heir preten-
sions. The serious con•egnences resulting from such mal-practice
may easily be avoided, if sufferers from these maladies were to ascot
tain if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of
Physicians, P. urgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing
either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.
