The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
a hich have pronuced more misery in
south,Yo degradation In .M
hood, and premature decay at an stage e peaps, any
other class of disease know of to modern pathologists. It 7 perasal 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 thatch men should know, that there are
crples of personal management which cannot be violated without
i tcurring grievota; penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgenee, how these penalties
o ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any de ;rte of physical infirmity or functional
eerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
TheAutor has for a series of years been engtteed . in an extensive
practiceh in the treatment of these delicate compl:. 'its, which have
unfortunately teen too generally con
those fided
who are induceto the care of ignorant
empiries, who inflict great injury on d
tel in their pretensions.
