By SAMUEL LAWERT. M.D.

Doctor of Medicine Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary 'Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' flail, London, Ace., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
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 secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall 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 removed,
said how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any dekree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice In the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
e7npurrianately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
faith Ica, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
n their pretensionsNEßVOUS DEBILIY' may bo had, price 2s, of Messrs. Piper,
