-- • -

Gxrcri,DiEN,—ln the event of a writ issuing for the Election of
Members to serve in Parliament for your Borough, it might be ex-
pected that I, as one of your former Representatives, should take
occasion to address you. And I should willingly have deferred such
communication until that time had arrived, from consideration tor
that tranquility which a political contest always disturbs, but that I
learn that a longer silence may mislead you, and place me in a false
position.
Also, in addressing you, I might have limited rayselr, after so many
Years of political connection, to a simple declaration of my readiness
to appear as a Candidate, should the Liber4l Electors unmistakeably
11814 y their desire to honour me with a continuation of their confi-
dence.
Bit it is due to you to state plainly the course which I shall feel it
incumbent on me to adopt.
In the first place, I must decline to connect myself politically with
any Candidate. •
Secondly,--As it appears, that a personal canvass is neither the
Most eligible nor dignified mode of communicating with the Consti-
tuency, I would request that that custom be dispensed with.
Thirdly,—lt is not my intention to pay any other than statutable
and professional expenses. •
And, finally, —lnasmuch at the choice of a Candidate, as well as
his election, should, in my judgment, result from a general act of
those who share his political opinions, I do not think it won d be re-
sPectful in me to present myself to you as a Candidate, until re-
quested to come forward by a requi ition from Electors assembled in
Public meeting. And thus I feel that lam showing the h'ghe-t re-
spect and deference for the individual intelligence and independence
of the Electoral body.
I cannot permit myself to conclude without expressing the satin.
faction with which I have for so many years been connected with the
Liberal Electors in Cambridge, vs ho have so nobly supported their
principles under unparalleled discouragement ; nor without offeriog

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the festrftil con-
The
resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Ma at
ny
heed, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaPs,
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusa Jis
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
the Physical condition, and who are conscious of haying hazarded
'Lie health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being IS
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
tlicurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
e heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
"AY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
that
how the evil and its con.equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
at there is coarsely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
arrangement, to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
Tile
A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
Tiractice in +he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are
unfortunate)y been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
Ipairies, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
