Edinburgh, Honorary, Member of the London Hospital Medical
society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., &c.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
:ILL 'the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
Sneed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
once secret caused of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marti-
ago. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all 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-I,4ulgence,hori theso Penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and bow the evil and its consequene es maybe avoided, and above all,
that there 'snare:oly any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR ,LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of 'these delicate com-
plaints, and is the,only,legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils. from which no grade of society is
free. In selecting this . department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these •cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
oftheir patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
