ABelief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century; it will, how-
ever, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine.
Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination, have sought fatally to
anticipate the purposes cf nature, and have consequently lapsed into a
state which brings with it weakened capabilities and clouded hopes, may
by timely application to professional treatment, regain those first, noblest,
and best of powers that have been compromised by the criminal propensi-
ties of "guilty solitude," the progress of which is marked by the'
Ym-
phatica somnia" of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental
apathy. We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily
correspondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to
our own country, but diffirsed over the whole world. For twenty-five
years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved erni.
tiently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest sobeitations
of our patients to publish their cases in a public address: the following,
however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that
we have yielded toan importunity sufficiently excusable by the gratitude
it evinces :
" Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized! Accept my most heart-
felt thanks; words are inadequate to express my unbounded gratitude.
May you long live to reap the rich reward of your labours in the ti eat-
nent of that class of diseases which have hitherto baffled the skill of your
medical brethren.
"Nov. 1832." Your's, most sincerely, L. 11."
There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when com-
pared with the above, may be termed subordinate) that are consequent
biti
upon the too free anti indiscriminate indulgence of the passions,
ng in some, debility from excess, in others, the relaxing effects of a
tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how many, the various maladies
which afflict the student, the misanthrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the
libertine. In all these cases our practice, which embraces every grade in
society, from the man of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been
uniformly successful; and as secresy belongs to our profession, the most
delicate and diffident may apply without tear or hesitation. exhi.

dence; and Patients in the remotest parts of the country can be treated
