"Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854.
ft Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
Aretn ise s of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprised
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
t) that it was not enti•ely destroyed.
Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I
gaped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
Bah, 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.
" Irnust in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and vary
necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours vcry faithfully,

rheeseential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
"ences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
of nave produced more misery in Youth, degradation in
and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
r class of disease known to modem pathologists. Its perusal is
riaartle cularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
the rh"Ysical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
antitieedal.th happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
jteia absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
theLLT Imes of personal management which cannot be violated without
rhrtni grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
eYday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
maybeand how how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
that
there
the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
,11;ere is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ai:genaent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
praecAtiuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are

i.nPr3B who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
