" Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
Premises of Mr. walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of beat your safe resisted, and still more surprised
(When it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
It) that it was not enti ely destroyed.
" Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it mu.t have
been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
Were perfectly uninjured.
"I must in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very
necessary for every one who has books awl accounts of any value.

-ueessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearfnl con-
lecluences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and
excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
rs'uer class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
ticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their PhYsical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
e health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
rinlt is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
eiPles of Personal management which cannot be violated without
,Ilcurrtnit grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
„..utf' heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
"'AY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
tan,... how the evil an' d its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
,wit there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
Tderangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
rbareocteuetlaulor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are
ytunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
faith T'Ynries. who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
