limed more misery in youth, degradation In manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
cases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that th ^re are in exist-
once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits,
to which Nervous

DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-

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
