MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.
DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, tcc., &C.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced 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
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitilil Marri-
ages. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. _

It is bsolutely 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-indulgence, bow these penalties
may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequent es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of scien sacannot 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 s 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
tree. 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
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters most contain the fee of 1/. and advice and
Medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address'.

should first obtain a copy of his work on
