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 are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and 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,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that 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 are
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who an induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

MEDICAL NEWS FROM THE BALTIC.—The surgeons
of the ships have had plenty to do in the Baltic, although
no great action has yet taken place. Raw hands falling
from aloft, and the influence of the weather on first ap-
proaching northern latiiudes, have kept the sick-lists
full. About 100 men have been already invalided and
sent back to England. Two men were killed in the Ar-
rogant by the conical bullets of the Mini 4 rifle. The
bullets aro smaller than those used by us. The man
first hit fell as in a faint, and, when carried below, was
found to be quite dead. The second man lingered forty
hours. One man in the Dragon was wounded by a ball
which struck a heavy iron clamp on a gun carriago, and
then split in two. One half struck the left thigh on its
outer side and broke the bone near its middle, almost
dissenting the muscles. The surgeon, Dr. Davidson, al-
lowed time to pass for rallying, placed the man under
the influence of chloroform, and amputated. The
man had lost a large quantity of blood before be could
reach the surgeon, and gradually sank after the ampu-
tation. A suggestion has been made—and it is a very
good one—that, when some ships only are engaged in
action and others unemployed, that additional medical
officers should be sent into the ships engaged. This
would be doubly useful in the present very inadequate
supply of medical officers to the fleet.—Medical Tinto
