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 whe are conscious of having hazarded
the realth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled. The A 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 Tl.eir treatment has unfortunately teen
too generally confided to the cue of unqualified and Ignorant em-
pities, 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 their preten-
dons. The serious con-eqnences resulting from such mal-practice
May easily be avoided. if sufferers from these maladies were to ascet
ten if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of
Physicians, P urgeons, or Apothecaries' Sall, as any one possessing
either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus
the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.
