The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon_
Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have proauced 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 oecret doubts of
their physical condition, and who aro zonscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary theta 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 rnd above moved,,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, ae all
that them is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
.derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
y
heAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have

faith in 'ho inflict greet injury on those who are induced to place
