burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,

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
thei physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the realth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled. The .4 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 of their patent nostrums, inflict
great injury on those who are induced to place faith in :heir preten-
sions. The serious con' eeuences resulting from such mal-practice
may easily he avoided if sufferers from these maladies were to aster
thin if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of
Physicians, Curgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing
either of these qualifications usually anpends if to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can al once be distingui,hed.
