of

tion—was not above
`olnilous in their attempts to injure the A s&mci

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced 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 having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there aro
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
Incurring grievous penalties, anu when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
ar.,l how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
'..hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the cars of ignorant
i empirics, who inflict great injury on those who aro induced to place
aith in their pretensions.
